Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.

So dark and unhinged. The Trump regime is dropping thousands of bombs for clicks.

If you’re not horrified by this you have lost the thread.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

My MAGA Republican representative David Rouzer voted for the SAVE Act, a law that if passed by the Senate will disenfranchise millions of North Carolinians and could affect how some residents are able to cast their ballot. #SaveActTaxesVoters and needs to die in the Senate.

If you zoom in, you can see that the birds' wings, tail feathers and the down on their heads, as well as the wings of the Erotes are accentuated with beaded wire arranged in circles and long loops. Remarkable details for such small earrings. Typically Hellenistic. 🏺 2/

Die drei von der Tankstelle - Katherina Reiche, Jens Spahn und Matthias Miersch - hatten heute die Chance, den Mieterinnen und Mietern zu erklΓ€ren, warum sie fΓΌr die Ideologie der Union und das fehlende RΓΌckgrat der SPD blechen sollen.

Sie haben diese Chance verstreichen lassen. Schade.
