The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

And if anyone is looking for a slightly lighter read, the below is from the time I came across one of the most illustrative and insane internet interactions on, of all places, the Waitrose Cellars comments section.

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

A new Human Rights Watch report documents how Russia is restricting abortion at all levels. Tactics include pressuring private clinics to stop doing abortions, toughening licensing requirements, revoking their licenses, and reclassifying abortion drugs as controlled substances.

Leadership is not a luxury | The SAS Collective

I do enjoy writing rousing rhetoric.

"For too long, the conversation around medical leadership has suffered from a persistent blind spot."

"It's time to trade the shadows for the boardroom."
