American liberal Zionists are turning on Israel, thanks to the fascism of the Netanyahu government and the Israeli protests. They are denouncing Israeli "apartheid" and calling for boycott and sanctions against Israel for its human rights abuses.

RUSSIAN DESPERATION!

Russia began flooding ferries in the Kerch Strait to protect the Crimean Bridge from attacks; it is planned to flood at least six watercraft.

"Russian invaders are carrying out preparatory work to flood the second ferry, near the illegal bridge between Russia and the temporarily occupied Crimea

Russia plan to flood at least six ferries to create a protective strip in front of the Kerch bridge.

I agree with Glenn Kirschner, "It's time to detain Trump pending trial."
Trump physically in jail means he won't personally be able to threaten witnesses during a rally or in live jailhouse interviews.
#Trump's use of threats works for him politically. If we can't stop them completely, we need a way to limit them.
That includes requiring social media companies to enforce their own #TOS on threats.

For months since the #Covenant shooting, our GOP overlords told us that mental health and not guns are the problem.

Today during the special session they called to address it, they spent 36 seconds, 36 fucking seconds discussing it before tabling it!

You can keep your beliefs, but I’ll take empirical observation… especially observation confirmed by others and that accurately predicts other observations.

The city of Phoenix wants to donate hundreds of unclaimed firearms to the National Police of Ukraine, but two Republican state representatives say the city’s plan is illegal and have filed a complaint that will force Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes to investigate.

Son sent to ER for a concussion on playing field....NO ONE in hospital or ambulance EMTs masking. UFB...well, actually - one nurse - not one of his...was masking....some visitors were, not many.

I spent 8 hrs there - thankfully in a decent sized room-- with a mask on and it never bothered me. Not masking at hospitals is literally INSANE. WTAF? Even with a U.S. Covid surge.

#RandyRainbow kept me sane during the horror years of trump.

His magic still works

"some drone strikes against Russian military targets “are being launched from inside Russian territory”...

Russian authorities said the attack, which “highly likely destroyed” a Russian bomber aircraft, was carried out by a so-called “helicopter-style” drone. The British Defense Ministry said those drones “are unlikely to have the range to reach [the air base] from outside Russia,” suggesting that the attack may have been launched inside Russia"

The Dunning-Kruger effect is so obvious when talking with parents about teaching.

But hey, #COVID is over, and everything is just fine. For the record, my college stopped masking and other measures months ago. (I got thoughts on that but will refrain).

Here is the response to Monday's Eleventh Circuit ruling from the lawyers for the Alabama families challenging the law: "Our clients are devastated by this decision .... While this is a setback, we are confident that it is only a temporary one."

This really isn't complicated.
