Left- Spain's Prime Minister says that Israel is doing the same thing to Lebanon that they have done to Gaza. Right- A top genocide scholar says that Israel's actions in Gaza amounts to GENOCIDE.

"A documentary detailing Israel's attacks on Palestinian doctors in Gaza, which was dropped by the BBC, was nominated on Tuesday for the Bafta TV awards. Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - later aired by Channel 4 - documents Israel's attacks on Gaza’s hospitals and medical staff..."

Real democracies "burden" citizens with universal civic duty or compulsory voting. Thanks America for reminding us every day there's a good reason.

"The R Party is telling us, w/brimming confidence & zero shame, that it intends to make it harder for its opponents to vote & easier to control the outcome of elections. They are prepared to use every tool available to them— legal or not — to stay in power." 🧾 www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

Standing on a balcony watching the lines. Very helpful.

Greenwashing aviation with the active knowledge, help and participation of your government. What else is new?

💥 Russia: Massive Ukrainian drone strikes blew up vast areas of the Port of Primorsk, Russia's largest oil export terminal that processes 1.0-1.5 million barrels/day - 100 million tons of oil & oil products per year. 1,000km from Ukraine.

1/5 Double KO on the energy board. 🛢️ Between drone strikes on #Primorsk and the #Hormuz blockade, Russian crude is evaporating. The Baltic has shifted from a sanctuary to a bottleneck where technology saturates imperial logistics.

Nobody with a spine should be flying from or into US airports.

Damn, Gerry Baker. 👀

Trump, Putin, Netanyahu — I’m so tired of these rich, old, murderous men who cling to power and make the world suffer, desperately trying to escape justice. So damn tired.

Avaaz analyses the timeline of events to conclude that violations show Israel systematically kills first responders.

Market manipulation. The timing of Trump threats (usually Friday nights) then backing down (usually early Monday mornings) on war and tariffs tell you all you need to know.

They all just go with Donald's flow.

"The United States is purchasing, with Chinese currency, oil from the same country it is currently bombing."

Try this for a hoax.

The final report on the Iberia Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) blackout is out. Many will be blaming renewables and talk about inertia: nonsense. The cause was bad voltage control. Solar and wind could have helped but that was illegal. The fix is is surprisingly easy. www.entsoe.eu/publications...

The lack of critical thinking is obscene.

This is the quintessence of narcissistic sociopathy. And just plain stupidity. From @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

Similar to Boris Yeltsin's confirmation hearing of Putin, except Putin always skipped the petty punching and went straight to the point. But both will get the interrogator's vote.

Interesting given that Wagner and the FSB have tried to kill Zelensky 12 times so far.

1985. We all need to watch this again every few years. It's a dense and sobering state of humanity delivered with terrifying precision.

My heart breaks for the people of Cuba. I was supposed to be in Havana this week to meet with representatives across Latin America to find ways to push back against the American attack on Cuba's sovereignty. But it was too difficult to arrange given the worsening conditions. This is a crime.

It's just a minor excursion required to invoke the Wartime Defense Production Act.

For those thinkers and other INTP-ers at the IEA and the EIA, now is a perfect time to check if renewables have had an impact on oil demand elasticity.

Iran has killed over 1.2 million Americans. No, sorry, that was the number of Americans *Donald Trump* killed with his incompetent response to COVID.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Hegseth confirms there still is water in the Persian Gulf.

Pardon?

The same kind of precision air strikes which reduced Gaza's population by 10% and displaced the other 90%? The same liberation army which targets journalists where they are most needed? Same nation which labels the obliteration of all infrastructure including schools and hospitals as "groundwork"?

Let's not go too hard on Hegseth. After all, who could have seen this coming?

BREAKING: US minesweepers successfully removed mines in the Strait Of Hormuz that were never there after an oil tanker was escorted by a naval vessel that doesn't exist in an operation to obliterate a nuclear program that's already been obliterated in an escalating war that will be over shortly.

AMERICA FIRST! AMERICA FIRST!

This administration has more clueless fools than any Monty Python movie.

Democrats propose to counter the most massive ever wealth transfer from US consumers to corporations by transferring even more from the federal budget. 🤡

We are currently witnessing one of the largest ever transfers of wealth from the US consumer to Big Oil. 14MM barrels or $500 million per day. In democracies, carbon taxes flow to the state, not to to private companies.

For once a US president takes decisive action for the climate with a giant tax on fossil fuel, all I hear from Democrats is complaining. Trump should get a Nobel prize for saving the climate.

Warfare in the Middle East, 2026. While the US is using a slightly more advanced version of carpet bombing, Iran's armed forces have evolved into an invisible, formless and headless mycelium attacking your economic DNA, and winning hands down. But the war's almost over!

The war is almost over !!

It's just...beyond anything.

He forgot to mention that the IDF works with such an extreme level of surgical precision and care for civilian life, that only 10% of the population it last attacked went missing.

“EXCLUSIVE: I’m the Palestinian Who Has Been in ICE Detention for Almost a Year” Writing for Zeteo from inside of prison on International Women’s Day, Leqaa Kordia asks us not to forget the female detainees being held and mistreated in ICE detention camps.
