Inside the latest, and scariest, iteration of America’s endless abortion wars After Trump’s mass pardons of anti-abortion activists, threats and harassment at clinics have surged.

After Trump was reelected, he quickly pardoned anti-abortion activists convicted of harassing and threatening clinic patients and staff. Federal investigations into bomb threats against clinics suddenly vanished.

@kbeccaandrews.bsky.social reports on a newly emboldened abortion protest movement.

Israël a donné quelques heures pour s'enfuir à une population estimée à 4 à 700 000 personnes habitant le sud de Beyrouth et a commencé ce soir à bombarder. Est-ce qu'on se rend bien compte de la monstrueuse toute-puissance conférée à cet Etat en le laissant commettre un crime de masse à Gaza ?

"La ville s’est dotée de fondations prestigieuses" ... Mais quel bullshit !!

Switzerland is also one of the most politically exclusive democracies.

New official data show that only ≈60% of all residents have political rights.

And given Switzerland’s low voter turnout, a small minority (roughly a quarter of all residents who vote regularly) ends up deciding for the majority

It's day 93 of the ICE occupation of MN.

Minnesotans are not generally people who engage in long hugs, but the last 3 months have changed that.

The hugs now are long and meaningful, whether between old friends or people who just met responding to ICE calls.

Our love for community keeps us safe.

Refugee status to be temporary as Shabana Mahmood rips up rules on UK asylum Home secretary announces 30-month protection limit, with refugees required to leave if their home countries are later judged safe

Mahmood argues that "far from being unpopular with traditional Labour voters, her policies recognise the concerns of people who feel resentment because “public services are under pressure”.

Anyone who says that utters a lie.

Tile with printed image of shepherdess walking along a path in a landscape. She wears a broad-brimmed sun hat and a long dress with an apron. She holds a lamb in her right arm and a crook with her left hand. Her dog sits on the right of the image and looks up to her. Most of the rest of the sheep herd appears behind her on the left of the image. Behind the herd, there is a distant hill with a castle. In the right background is a coastline with the sea and a ship. At the upper left, the inscription "MARCH", at the upper right, "31 days". The colors are brown and gray lines and shading on a cream background.

    If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
