The strait of Hormuz was open without issue before the illegal war began

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Cheeto playing chicken. 2 weeks to get rid of him!

A bit of Easter silliness

A different perspective.

My photo shows a ‘roaring’ hippo statuette made of Egyptian blue faience, a ceramic material made of ground quartz. The hippo is seated with head at left, and turned to front. The hippo’s original tusks (top incisors and lower canine teeth are known as tusks), are missing, so it looks as if the hippo is smiling. The blue body is decorated in black with Nile river plants such as water weed and lotus flowers. This decoration depicts the hippo’s marsh habitat as well as having layers of symbolism associated with regeneration e.g. lotus flowers open with the sun in the morning and close at night symbolising rebirth. Height 7.5 cm, length 12.5 cm. On display Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen.

A terrible reality to acknowledge.

Yes!

Today as my classes ended in honor of MLK day Monday, I told my students to do something to make the world better this weekend.

This massive silver pound (120 grams) that was issued by King Charles I in 1644 is the heaviest circulating coin ever minted in the British Isles. Here it is alongside a modern £1 of Charles III. From the Hunterian collection.

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”

What they left out was the cruelty, the misogyny, the racism, the pure hate, and the manufactured poverty that keeps people desperate and silent.
