The economic impacts of America's conflict with Iran are only just starting to ripple out across the global economy. Trump's numbers can and will go a lot lower if the US economy really starts to tank.
WE WILL ANNIHALATE IRAN UNLESS IT MEETS ALL OUR DEMANDS BY WEDNESDAY OR PAKISTAN ASKS NICELY.
Trump is sinking.
Israeli genocide scholar Omer Bartov will have his book on Zionism and genocide translated into 9-10 languages, but not Hebrew. He even offered to translate it himself, but not a single Israeli publisher would go near it. Not even the ‘leftwing’ ones.

A David Inshaw image of a lone figure traversing parallel lines on a dark green velvety field: ahead, a house on the horizon, an impossible sky as dark as night but with cloud curds hovering, and to the left a rainbow. Title: She Did Not Turn. 'She Did Not Turn', David Inshaw, oil on canvas, 1974. Sleep tight. #davidinshaw
Tonight's goodnight image is 'She Did Not Turn', David Inshaw, oil on canvas, 1974.
Sleep tight.
In tears reading comments on Instagram about the headteacher who was killed by a driver whilst riding his bike in Manchester. Dozens and dozens of heartfelt messages from his ex-pupils who say what a wonderful teacher and role model he was.
flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.
There’s a hole in my Iran policy, dear Liza
- Then fix it
How..?
- By engagement
How..?
- With the Iranian regime
How…?
- By identifying leaders
How…?
- By not fragmenting the leadership by purported regime change

Little known fact: if nobody will pay £850,000 for your house, it's not worth £850,000.
We've found a new definition of "chutzpah."
📣 New @etsc.eu report says cycling not being made safe enough, fast enough across EU 🚴♂️
🤔 What's needed? Report says more urban 20mph, more protected cycle lanes & safe junctions etc. Full report: www.etsc.eu/pinflash50
Mahmood is an utter fascist.
Is it just me, or is transphobia getting way, WAY worse pretty rapidly now? People who call themselves liberals or leftists are increasingly just openly saying absolutely atrocious things about us and there's a transphobic comment literally every day in court now.
Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.
The tribunal found she didn't do a single thing meanwhile the nurse who brought the case was a vile racist as well as a transphobe and hompohobe
Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.
She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.
This. Every time you see a "successful" trans person, know we are just one transphobe away from losing everything. This is one reason why it is important for allies to actually ally when we're not around -- transphobes should know their views aren't acceptable to anyone.
Someone I know told me today that she was selling a property she currently rents out because "this new law has made it impossible to be a landlord".
I think this is probably good news.
T is OK for cis women but not trans men.
Puberty blockers are OK for cis kids but illegal for trans kids.
You see it, right? You see what this is?

Obesity almost feels like a tidal wave engulfing the world, one which certain governments are trying to counter by building seawalls in the policy steps they take. Some of these might be seen as 'nanny state' intervention, but doing nothing isn't in the public's interest.

I’m always intrigued by why a “nanny state” is viewed so negatively by some.
I thought nannies were supposed to be loving and caring, with your best interests at heart?

Saturday morning on the deli counter as an 18yo - we'd have competitions to see who could cut cheese closest to the ½lb or 1lb. Definitely pressed 'Tare' *after* the paper was on the scale!
I know correlation isn't causation but their vote share does seem to rise every time the New Statesman sneers at them as the 'Reform of the Left.'
(2/X) the debate was between Camille Paglia and Naomi Wolf. Also both Trumpers now.
An enormous percentage of the self-promoting gasbags of 90s political/"culutural" tv became Trumpers.
There's a reason why things are so fucked up now.

Well let's see how this strategy of telling "white liberals" to "fuck right off" works out in the local elections
American combat deaths in World War I: 54,000.
American soldiers killed by flu in World War I: 45,000.
They would have given anything for a flu vaccine.
Figure 12.5 showing 25% of salaried judges and 13% of fee paid judges experienced bullying. 16% of salaried and 17% of fee paid judges experienced discrimination
Figure 12.8 showing the bullying, harrassment and discrimination was overwhelmingly from other judges.
Mind blowing stats from Judicial Attitudes Survey on levels of bullying and harassment and discrimination experienced by disabled judges. And overwhelmingly it comes from other judges.
Relevant to how disabled claimants are treated by judges?
