RE: https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella/116947390047141943 It’s easy for us to forget the scale and timeline of Netanyahu‘s effort to create a greater Israel. This poem is from 2014, more than a decade ago. #uspolitics

Someone was arrested in Scotland yesterday for reading the poem "Don't mention the children" by professor of children's literature, Michael Rosen. The West really doesn't want us to mention the children of Gaza that Israel has murdered and continues to murder. #Poetry #Scotland #Gaza #Genocide #Palestine

Russia passed the 1.3 million casualties mark today. The evolution of warfare has dramatically shifted the killed to wounded ratio. Drones kill, they rarely wound. That fact means Russia’s demographic decline has accelerated, its ability to sustain its population is in doubt.

“It took four years of hard wartime experience, institutional development and expensive industrial scaling, but Ukraine has … [replaced] traditional manned air power.”

Ukraine isn’t losing, Russia is.

Republicans backed the looser.

@DaveMWilburn @SteveBellovin I agree with you, Dave, though I’m a bit more harsh. The man is chairman of the joint chiefs of staff not because he served as a theater commander for years, nor because he was a commander of one of the 11 unified combatant commands. Nah, he’s the president’s principal military advisor because he agreed to do what the president wants. He simply doesn’t have the expertise nor the experience to advise the president as a fully qualified CJCS. I think he’s a disgrace.

Republicans are afflicted with cognitive dissonance as demonstrated by these decisions. We are so screwed.

@nosmaharba@mastodon.world @QasimRashid@mastodon.social I specifically disagree. Our police are behaving exactly as we have trained them to and how we pay them to: protect property owned by wealthy white men. All law-enforcement is selective all the time. All used to force is selective all the time. There’s a reason why black kids get shot in white kids do not.

Another illustration of Republicans being incapable of governing: Republicans can’t even appoint a permanent pentagon controller and have to send an acting person to testify before Congress. Pathetic.

Republicans are happy to borrow $100 million to repair damage caused by Russia yet they are unwilling to even name Russia as the perpetrator. Cowards. Russian agents.

RE: @pravda@mstdn.social

Republicans are both Russian agents and Russian apologists. They can’t even acknowledge that Russia damaged the Chernobyl arch in the first instance… And, they’re going to borrow $100 million that our children will have to pay for.

RE: @hanse_mina@mastodon.social

Republicans are preparing to overturn the will of the people.

Colorado — A Trump-linked lobbyist called Republican clerks statewide seeking voting machine access; a CISA official made a similar request and was refused. 63+ clerks are now preparing for potential federal subpoenas or agent arrivals.

Georgia — Federal agents raided Fulton County in January, seizing ballots and voter rolls based on 2020 fraud claims already rejected by courts.

Michigan — DOJ demanded Wayne County turn over 2024 election records.

Missouri — DOJ sought access to Dominion machines from county clerks. 15 election officials have resigned in 14 months.

Nevada — FBI sought 2020 election voter data from the secretary of state.

Ohio — DHS collected sensitive voter records from 6+ counties.

Texas — Williamson County’s elections administrator received death threats after a doctored video falsely accused her of ballot tampering.

West Virginia — DOJ demands voter files.

RE: @rvps2001@mastodon.social

Israel continues to pay Russia for grain stolen from Ukraine.

I know it’s not as bad as killing UN peacekeepers, but for a country that asserts its “right to exist“ to justify killing for decades, Israel appears to think that Ukraine’s “right to exist“ isn’t worth paying full price for grain.

RE: @KraftTea@mastodon.social

This is good news. Regional governments are faced with paying recruitment bonuses to send their men to die while at the same time covering all their other expenses. I suppose regional leaders are as insulted as the federal leaders but maybe not?

This is an excellent summary of the state of drone warfare illustrating the complexity of communications across the battlefield. It also illustrates the wack-a-mole nature of warfare.
