Ex Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under Obama👇🏽

We didn't deserve this day.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ted Lieu stating that U.S. military law prohibits war crimes, including strikes on civilian infrastructure that cause disproportionate harm. The tweet warns that service members must disobey illegal orders and could face prosecution by a future administration if they commit war crimes.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

Defenses that didn't work:

1) I was just following orders;
2) I thought they deserved it;
3) I thought society was better off without them;
4) God told me to do it;
5) They didn't listen;
6) Other people/countries do it too;
7) We had to stop a third party;
8) It was profitable;
9) I was scared

You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.

The US *regime* allowed this to be said.

It makes my blood run cold and my brain stop working.

Can someone usher that mad cubt out.

Nigel Farage’s farming adviser calls for wheat prices to double Exclusive: critics warn Reform UK use of trade policy would increase food costs amid cost-of-living crisis

Yet another position that's almost identical to the policy promoted by English fascists in the 1930s. There seems to be a kind of ideological homing instinct at work. Before long, the entire package will be back in place.

I took this photo today, a few mn after a huge serac collapsed from the cliff, which is now 50 m-high and cuts the tongue in two 🧊🌊

Bossons was a natural monument, the one that made Chamonix famous... this era is gone! 😢

2 yrs ago, it seemed absurd to imagine such a rapid decline, and yet... 😱

Nigel Farage’s farming adviser calls for wheat prices to double Exclusive: critics warn Reform UK use of trade policy would increase food costs amid cost-of-living crisis

Revealed: Farage’s farming adviser calls for wheat prices to double - despite cost of living crisis

Coupled with Reform’s policies to import US chlorinated chicken & frack rural areas, it’s clear that Farage would be a disaster for the countryside:

March, 19-21: God is a comedian A stiff drink is recommended

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation.

I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment.

This summary is just fantastic.

Funding for populist-right ‘media-political complex’ exceeded £170m in five years, research finds Handful of billionaires gave huge sums in particular to media organisations that boosted rightwing politicians, says Liam Byrne MP

Governments sit and watch while oligarchs purchase our politics, as if it were just another asset to be monopolised. For the sake of democracy and our own survival, we need to get the money out. Our political systems must belong to us and us alone.

Having failed to secure the Snickers or M&Ms that were my original objectives, sources tell the Washington Post I will now be refocusing all energy on extracating my hand from where it is stuck inside the vending machine and restoring said machine to the working order it was in prior to my arrival.

genuinely why does anyone report anything he says at all as if it means anything still

Culross in Fife. The image shows a lane leading between very old buildings towards a white three-storey building in the distance. The buildings on the left are coated in a yellow harling, while those on the right are finished in natural stone and white. The roofs are mainly red pantiles. There are open stone stairways leading up to the first floor on both sides of the lane. There are signs of snow on the ground and the sky is blue.

Culross in Fife, on the north shore of the Firth of Forth. The village has been beautifully restored over many years and is the nearest thing to a 16th century time capsule that Scotland has to offer. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

"Psychotic" is how The Times characterises measures to decriminalise abortion. But then what do you expect from the newspaper that called Trump a "feminist champion"?

Yup. Absolutely insane and criminal that we are still dependent on fossil fuels. Future historians will scratch their heads and wonder what the hell everyone was thinking...

And then just conclude that rich people were happy to get richer... and knew that dumb people would go along with it.

Failed Tory Home Secretary blocked US from quizzing Andrew over Epstein Priti Patel prevented the FBI from questioning Andrew about his links to the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, despite officers having 'documentary evidence suggesting he knew about sex trafficking'

This is fucking horrifying, the headteacher caused this school to strip out 100s of titles from the library as inappropriate including feminist, anti-racist and LGBTQ+ positive works, and guess what: "the categorisation was generated using AI"

They have entirely destroyed the librarian's career

One lap and then it starts again. On March 13, at 10:35 a.m., amidst the waves, Arthur (not his real name), a young officer in the French Navy, was out for a run, circling the deck of the ship where he worked. To record his performance — a little over 7 kilometers covered in thirty-five minutes-he used the smartwatch on his wrist. The data collected was then uploaded to the internet. Because Arthur has a profile on the sports app Strava, and it's "public": anyone can view it. The young man has therefore just reported, almost live, the exact position in the Mediterranean Sea of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and its escort, northwest of Cyprus and about a hundred kilometers from the Turkish coast, as Le Monde has observed .

truly incredible that strava leaks are still happening after all this time
