NEW: The Navy is no longer allowed to shroud its criminal trials in secrecy and must provide public access to hearings and records, a federal judge ruled last month, the result of a yearslong lawsuit filed by ProPublica.

Still thinking about this column from @brucearthur.bsky.social. Moral reasoning is hard. Human beings outsource their moral reasoning to leaders far more than we understand. It's why many ordinary Germans went along with the Holocaust. We must demand our leaders stand up for international law.

This really is a kind of hell moment. the bad place for sure.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

Farewell to a Nova Scotia that will no longer tolerate cuts to programs that enrich us all Morning File by @suzannerent.bsky.social

A climate time bomb is ticking in America’s retirement accounts. We’re going to court to stop it. Most of us work hard, put money aside with each paycheck, and trust it will be there when we retire. But that trust is being betrayed.

When they actually get into a “debate” you find their arguments are an inch deep. They’ll argue, like Jesse did yesterday on the “Central Air” podcast, that the evidence base for GAC is “low quality” but can’t go the next step and realize that’s a result of the low number of trans people …

Imperial hubris in a nutshell: Demand allies help fight your wars while simultaneously absorbing the fallout—refugees, supply chain disruptions, rising commodity prices. Then expect them to accept higher tariffs to help finance the war you started.

Exactly so. I was talking to someone in their 80s [who was bombed in WWII] about the far right & the UK in particular & they said it was ‘scary’ & unprecedented. Fortunately we live in Ireland & we’d never humour this BS after the theocracy in the 20th C.

Imagine serving as a Marine and then being injured at home, on purpose, by a sitting Senator while exercising your constitutionally-protected rights.

BREAKING: One of the world’s largest real estate corporations, Cushman & Wakefield, is risking its workers’ retirement funds by investing in climate-risky funds. We’re highlighting a groundbreaking lawsuit to hold the company accountable in court. #GreenSky

Our deadly flaw was taking conservatives seriously, thinking they had serious principles, when all they want is money, power and the deaths of brown and queer people 😐

"'Democrats in Congress have been silent...There has been no pushback on this,' Morano said." Why is longtime climate denier Marc Morano is happy that Democrats have stopped talking climate? As I told The Guardian, because it helps the Trump regime. Obviously. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue. I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe. They also didn’t pay cover 🖕

Layer on top of that insurance markets on the verge of collapse, with bills doubling and tripling where insurance is available at all, and it becomes clear that the climate crisis and the affordability crisis are one and the same.

Meanwhile, in the US a Republican senator broke the arm of a retired Marine, who was exercising his constitutional right to protest. Protest is not something the far right appreciate, not even from ppl who >actually< served their country. Protest is central to a free society.

In my 70s, I have never witnessed the ramping up of violence in the western world (the only one I'm familiar with), the glee in causing harm to others, to nature, the glorification of hate, as this last year or so. There was interracial violence, but this is a very generalized manifestation.

From 1916 to 1940, “Urania” imagined a world beyond gender—and documented feminist movements around the globe

Black Agenda Report special issue on Iran. www.blackagendareport.com

No normal medical, legal, or political process has ever gone from saying more evidence of benefit is needed to bans or restrictions. That's supposed to be a conversation patients (or parents) have with doctors. (The conspiracy theory on trans care says docs can't be trusted, again w/ no evidence.)

The reason people are banning or limiting gender affirming care for youth on the basis that the evidence base was weak (which as Greg says is similar to the evidence for many other youth treatments) is entirely about prejudice and wanting to limit the number of trans people.

There's another dynamic going on, which no one in the mainstream press I've seen has touched (though @polgreen.bsky.social got closest), and that's the fact that it is unprecedented to ban or heavily restrict a treatment on the basis that the evidence isn't high quality enough.

We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept. Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.

"People with family and friends in the M.East are terrified of what Iran is doing". Nope. Loads of family and friends across 3 targeted countries. Iran has killed about 25 people by targeting US bases, Israel has killed nearly 1500 already. Israel is still the problem

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

Some video from today’s rally in front of Province House. Sara Coffin with Mocean Dance and Ian Sherwood led the crowd in a song and dance called “It’s Okay to Change Your Mind.” #NovaScotia #arts #culture #heritage
