I infer from their body language that she said yes.

Israel has become isolated and drawn global condemnation over its military misconduct and ongoing genocide in Gaza, where they have killed more than 65,000 Palestinian, primarily civilians including an unprecedented number of children, according to local health authorities.

Out of the 193-member world body, 142 countries voted in favour on the New York Declaration, 10 against and 12 abstained. Leading the pack against the resolution are Israel and the United States.

On Monday the UN General Assembly voted to back two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, recognizing Palestinaian statehood. Led by France and Saudi Arabia.

I already have the Excelsior II, Constitution III, Constitution Flight Deck Carrier, & D7.

Suggestions?

Happy Programmers' Day! Vibe coders need not apply 😉

Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, whatever the courts might say. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes.

Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.

Money, power and ego are out of control.

I think neither

Do you think the U.S. force in Caribbean will invade Venezuela, or pivot right towards Panama?

This is exactly what the Hong Kong authorities did after the. protests. They erased all traces of dissent, no matter what it took

Legislators Behaving Badly in Manila The Senate passes the hot camote back to the House in the Duterte impeachment

In the Asia Sentinel today: Legislators Behaving Badly in Manila.The Senate passes the hot camote back to the House in the Duterte impeachment. www.asiasentinel.com/p/legislator...

Basically Iran’s response to calls for its surrender is, “Go F yourself.”

🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/

As someone who has worked counter-influence on the DOD side, this is an excellent 🧵!!!! If you're curious as to the empirical theory behind what @asharangappa.bsky.social is describing, it is techniques of neutralization & drift.

Crisis of Paralysis in Manila Mixed signals from the public and the president leave the Senate risking a constitutional crisis

My commentary this week in Asia Sentinel. What is significant yet overlooked is how the Senate is treading water, unable to act decisively on the question of impeachment. Why this is so, suggests there are others paralyzed as well.
