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.

RICHMOND β€” Virginia lawmakers have passed a bill that prohibits schools from teaching that the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection was a peaceful demonstration or that there was massive fraud in the 2020 presidential election, the first Democratic state to try to shape how such events are taught.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: and when I became a man, I clung desperately to childish things, reviving them as a series of joyless sequels and reboots.

Spanish PM SΓ‘nchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

We are the consequences We, collectively, are the condition that makes their defeat inevitable.

Another striking and defiant piece by @erikhane.bsky.social writing from besieged Minneapolis.

"I have come to believe something else too: we are the consequences. We, collectively, are the condition that makes their defeat inevitable."

The way that the original PCjr release of King's Quest (1984) draws and then 'paints in' each scene element in the same way that golf games and graphic text adventures often do due to technical limitations is very pleasing to watch.
