The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

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.

He is just awful! The Iran ship was unarmed & taking part in Indian military exercises, as was a US ship. The US one pulled away & then the Iran one was blown up. Aside from the illegal aspect, the US gov are seemingly devoid of any empathy for individuals that get in their imperialist aims - oil...

Black-and-white formal portrait of Alva Myrdal (1902–1986), the Swedish diplomat, sociologist, politician, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She is photographed against a dark background, resting her chin thoughtfully on her left hand, which displays a large, ornate ring. Her expression is calm, wise, and slightly introspective, with deep-set eyes, fine lines of age, and a gentle smile. Her silver-gray hair is styled in a soft, voluminous updo typical of the mid-20th century, and she wears a dark tailored jacket or dress with a simple collar, along with a distinctive metal wristwatch on her left arm. Alva Myrdal was a pioneering figure in social policy, women's rights, and international disarmament. With her husband Gunnar Myrdal, she co-authored the influential 1934 book Kris i befolkningsfrΓ₯gan (Crisis in the Population Question), which shaped Sweden's progressive family and welfare policies. She served as Sweden's Minister for Disarmament and Church Affairs (1966–1973), headed UNESCO's social science department, and played a key role in the United Nations. In 1982, she shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Alfonso GarcΓ­a Robles for her lifelong work on nuclear disarmament and peace advocacy through organizations like the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and Pugwash Conferences. Known for her intellectual rigor, feminist principles, and commitment to global justice, she remains an icon of principled leadership in diplomacy and social reform.#AlvaMyrdal #NobelPeacePrize #Disarmament #SIPRI

Alva Myrdal was a Swedish sociologist, diplomat & a prominent leader of the disarmament movement. She shared the #Nobel Peace Prize in 1982 (w/A. Robles) "for their work for disarmament & nuclear and weapon-free zones." #WHM

This is why he bombed Iran. So no would be watching him remove files about his crimes and corruption with Jeffrey Epstein. The DOJ is covering up the crimes of our rapist president.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir If you run a company whose entire value proposition is the ability to see patterns, predict outcomes, and connect dots that others miss, you’d think someone in the building might have flagged…

"using Palantir’s software would increase dependence on a U.S. provider. It also poses the risk of losing data sovereignty and thereby national sovereignty.

"Above all, however, the army’s staff experts say it remains unclear who has access to data shared with Palantir."

Surviving on Trump's Dangerous Planet Yet another war, and yet another argument for an end to oil

According to The Economist, Cuba’s imports of Chinese solar panels grew by a factor of 34 last year, faster than anywhere else in the world

They're trying to prepare for the inevitable next attack from Trump

The UK politicians have not learned from previous warmongering in support of others that could be deemed Imperial Fascists.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Strange Structures Found Lurking in The Blood of People With Long COVID A hidden physical change in the body may be helping to drive the prolonged malaise some people experience after contracting COVID-19.

Microclots and neutrophil extracellular traps merge to form structures that may contribute to thrombosis and atherosclerosis in patients with long Covid. While this research is in its early days, it may pinpoint not only a diagnosis of long Covid but potentially a therapeutic target.

Most people in England & Wales are not Christian, and it’s axiomatic to a free society that religious beliefs - or the lack of them - are irrelevant to civic participation. Britain is a pluralist, not a Christian, society; and this is one more reason to fight Reform UK.

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

What the High Court’s Palestine Action Ruling Reveals About the UK's Terrorism Laws - Liberty The High Court judgment on Palestine Action's proscription highlights how the UK’s overbroad terrorism definition risks sweeping direct action into counter-terror powers.

What the High Court’s Palestine Action Ruling Reveals about the UK’s Terrorism Laws

The definition set out in the Terrorism Act 2000 is intentionally overbroad. It was designed to capture more behaviour than just terrorism.

It’s hard to ignore evidence in Epstein files suggesting Jagland was used to reach Lavrov and Putin.

The emails imply Epstein was helping Russia blackmail Trump.

Trump’s continued favoring of Russian interests over those of allies suggests this leverage may be real

If true then that lets the world know Trump will never be held accountable for anything related to Epstein.

Trump made $4B in his first year of his second term. Trump is suing the IRS for $10B. Trump just announced the US will contribute $10B to his Board of Peace. A $10 billion contribution to a Board that he chairs without congressional appropriation or authorization.
