Insisting on the “right to defend itself" after killing people. Blocking ambulances from victims. Building pretext to hurt kids. And taking billions from US taxpayers to do it all. Is this the Israeli military? …Or ICE? Yes:

Los Angeles Police Department can no longer fire less-lethal foam rounds when confronting protesters. A federal judge found the department in contempt of a previous ruling limiting the use of 40-millimeter munitions and has now ordered a ban on their use for crowd control. abc7.com/amp/post/lap...

In ancient Mesopotamia, astronomers needed to know the moon’s position, even on a cloudy night. So they made records and calculations of the moon’s positions and velocity measured in degrees. This record from Uruk or Babylon from the Seleucid period covers 248 days. 📸 by Dr K. Wagensonner
