Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

In general, the boxes of “rare” stuff from storage I’m going through is just old. A few things are valuable. And then there is a first edition of the “Annual Register” from 1776 that just happens to have news of some little Declaration of Independence

The Anarchist Cookbook by William Powell, 1971, second printing. A large paperback book with a black cover, a white title and the author's name in red. Apparently, these days it's quite safe to allow readers to see it as most of the recipes for explosives etc are out of date. It does also have a list of drugs, which is how I know that if you eat enough banana skins, you'll hallucinate, but I'd think that was pretty likely anyway.

On my desk today: a piece of 1970s counter culture.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Buried in the "fog of war" are reports that 47,635 files were removed from the Epstein files that were made public by the Justice Department in accordance with the Transparency Act..

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

I can’t believe Donald Trump was impeached twice in his first term and there are STILL people out here who think that impeachment is how he should be dealt with

Good morning to everyone who realizes Donald Trump is taking us to war because his kid raping scandal won’t go away.

ICE just grabbed NASHVILLE Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez outside of a gym.

“She was with her husband, a 🇺🇸 citizen — her attorney says she came legally, sponsored by her husband, has a pending green card application.”

She also has a daughter.

Fifty years after New Zealand stopped whaling, humpback population showing signs of recovery Breeding is getting more competitive, suggesting the population is growing, a new study shows.

This is a marvelous change not only for the Humpback whale 🐋 population but for all of us. We need to keep our gentle giants from going extinct.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

I met a childhood hero of mine today. Tim Jacobus is one of the major influences who inspired my love for making art. I remember being beyond wowed by the Goosebumps covers. I stared at the covers and tried to draw them, just as much as I spent time reading the books themselves. (If not more so)

They’re like children playing war. Unfortunately people have and will die.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

Official Trailer #1 WORKING GIRL (1988, Harrison Ford, Melanie Griffith, Sigourney Weaver) YouTube video by Trailer World

For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM

In honor of Harrison Ford ...

Watch or (Rewatch) one of my favorite films "Working Girl" (1988) - Dir. Mike Nichols; Written by Kevin Wade.

Reminiscent of Cary Grant, Ford's performance & comedic timing are excellent. ⬇️
