This Saturday, Hawai'i is holding their primary, which also has the best chance, so far, to remove a Trump-friendly Dem. Ed Case (HI-1, 20.8%) is facing State Senator Jarrett Keohokalole. He supports Medicare for All, is to the left of Case on immigration, and supports trans rights.
Extraordinary win! Overcomes 10:1 spending and the entire establishment in Michigan and in Washington! On Israel/Palestine, it's revolutionary day.
It's fairly impressive that Badenoch leads a political party with 3,800 councillors but has the same understanding as to what they do as a random bloke complaining about his Council Tax down the pub.
Possibly I'm projecting, but Badenoch's disdain for councillors and fixing church roofs does feel like a reflection of her lack of interest in provincial England and the ways in which she hasn't clocked that her experiences as a first generation immigrant living in London aren't universal.
Stevens' campaign wasted 3 months' worth of MI's free school meal program
Wishing AIPAC a very blow all their money on losing primaries

So al-Sayed dude won in Michigan. Good. Will be interesting if he can carry that into the Senate. That'd be a clear sign of the mood swinging away from the fascists and their centrist enablers.
It was always strange to call the genocide in Gaza a war, but it's even more bizarre when there is a ceasefire and Israel has killed 1200 Palestinians since then. Even if the Guardian doesn't want to use the term genocide "war" doesn't capture one sided slaughter of civilians
One of the clearest descriptions of climate dynamics for laypeople that you’ll ever hear: “It will inevitably get worse. It will get worse and worse and worse.”
This isn't the new normal. It's just the beginning
This summer’s disasters appear to have boosted climate multilateralism, at least within Europe, and underscored the need to tackle fossil fuels. But we may not be waiting long for the scientists' “wor...

The investigation is complex to say the least, and names several notable figures, including two brothers of former Liberal premier Dominic Perrottet... It also names property developer Jean Nassif and Catholic Schools NSW chief executive officer Dallas McInerney. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...
Among long list of ICAC witnesses, there's likely to be one notable absentee

So now I know 2 contributors to Advance. Jillian Segal and Michael O'Hara who thought Dominic Perrottet and Scott Morrison were too woke.
Oh, Catholic Man I'd forgotten about him
Maureen Chuck@irmagherd.bsky.social · 13h agoICAC counsel: Were you asked to leave that job? JC Perrottet: I can't remember. That puts all of the previous "I can't remembers" into a different perspective. It was plausible that he couldn't remember individual texts but could remember circumstances. But not now. #ICAC #OperationRosny

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 16h agoThe president’s Marine One helicopter took off from the White House Tuesday afternoon, but air-traffic controllers hadn’t halted commercial flights at nearby Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as required under safety protocols.
According to two regional sources, the deal under discussion sets up a 60-day temporary arrangement between Oman and Iran in the Hormuz strait, which could be extended. All inbound traffic of ships through the strait and into the Gulf would go in a northern lane through Iranian waters.
Ultimately, Trump yielded, positioning Iran to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran will likely extend negotiations until his departure from office. It’s a regrettable loss of American lives and resources.
