Southern Lebanon’s evacuations highlight this truth: Fragile states don’t fail all at once; they fail in layers — governance first, then infrastructure, then public trust, and finally the ability to protect civilians. "A wise man learns from the mistakes of others."

Can somebody explain to me why the rule is "if you can't make rent, cut out the streaming apps, lattes, and avocado toasts" but it's never "if you can't afford your workers a living wage, cut out the mega-yachts, rockets, and spaceships."

Celebrating Starmer's move on speech and media? Loving that Bluesky is untouched? Feeling triumphant? When the state begins with control of expression the state ends with murder of citizens. #History #Data #Science #Facts #Evidence

How we call it an agreement and then add “as negotiations continue”.. What did they agree to? Agreed to negotiate? If there’s some urgent need to congratulate Trump, so he shows up at G7 — he literally had his 80th birthday. Why are all pretending there is a deal when there isn’t? Confusing.

Artificial, manipulated economy. Low pay. High prices. Suffocating the masses.

Ran to the store tonight. Bought bread, buns, pickles, ham for the dogs, soda, a wild impulse splurge of $.99 (on sale) small box of pasta, some vegan cheese, and a french roll of bread for the hummus. That was it. $99. I heard the total and thought, 'How on earth can families feed their kids?'

We have to get rid of all the loopholes.

Mississippi River levels rising again. Folks downstream are bracing for the same losses they faced two years ago.

The CDC, ECDC, and U.S. State Department all confirm an active Ebola outbreak in DRC and Uganda.

Canada condemns Russia’s recent drone strikes in Ukraine’s Chornobyl exclusion zone, including one on a building located just metres from a major nuclear material storage facility. This reckless and unacceptable action directly undermines fundamental nuclear safety principles.

Faith shapes how I treat people and how I carry responsibility. I did not say religion. I did not say God either. "Faith" as a posture of commitment — a way of orienting your life toward what you hold to be real, good, or sacred. #VoteBlue

Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. Both are back because of this science denying administration.

Oh my! Today is the day I am fucking sick of everything. But I still love all of you!

Lopped all sorts into this. Famous, community builders, nobodies like me....and one honest to goodness lovable oddball (you know who you are!) #Unity #Love go.bsky.app/6cZi1mm

Much attention to climate change generally. But to get more specific: workers. The Department of Labor released new numbers on workplace heat exposure. The data shows a steady rise in injuries.

"Support working people.” Cost of being alive.....↗️

Kremlin said the war can end if Ukraine retreats from Russian territory. Is Kyiv now Russian territory? Kharkiv? Dnipro? All the cities you’re targeting every night? Don’t shoot their drones and Moldova, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Estonia will be next.

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

Everything you're seeing with Bari Weiss is also what conservative activist academics want to do to American higher education.

Every country keeps talking about “stability” while half the world is juggling inflation, energy shocks, and political tension. #World #Clusterfuck

The U.S.–Iran “cooling off” after a day of threats is not diplomacy. I am skeptical.

India’s heatwave hit 45°C in nearly 30 locations. That’s not “summer.” That is "too dangerous to go outside."

A group of Miami residents is suing Trump over his proposed presidential library.
