Extremism ruins everything.

"...United Nations’ agency for Palestinian refugees will shutter its East Jerusalem headquarters after the compound was set on fire by “Israeli extremists” while staff were inside...

...a crowd accompanied by armed men were witnessed...shouting, “Burn down the United Nations.”

UNRWA accused Israel of detaining and torturing...staffers, coercing them into making false confessions about the agency’s ties to Hamas...'

Or Bubba re Bibi in '96 -- "Who's the fucking superpower, here?!"

All kinds of reasons for this. But nevertheless, something to recall as AIPAC goes full MAGA and Repukes blather and froth about "globalists" and Soros from one side of their mouths...and call Democrats anti-Semites with the other.

Once upon a time...their blessed Ronnie Raygun got really pissed.

A couple of thoughts:

Drinking too much water in a short time can throw off your body's electrolyte balance and cause a dangerous condition.

Who drinks enough water? 💧

“Dems can go on offense when it comes to crime. The Democratic Party is not the one whose presidential candidate faces 88 criminal charges (& has been held in contempt twice). Democrats didn’t mount a violent insurrection (which Republicans falsely called “legitimate political discourse”) resulting in multiple deaths, dozens of injured law enforcement officers & charges against more than 1,200 people. & Democrats did not sink a tough, bipartisan border security bill.” J Rubin, WaPo

Roger that.

The glories of unregulated capitalism, courtesy of Reagan. But rich folks get to be richer, and big oil gets to write EO's for Trump to sign if he gets re-elected, so I guess that's a plus.

VP hopeful Governor Abbott's gonna be pissed Texas didn't do it first.

The education board for a rural Virginia county voted early on Friday to restore the names of Confederate generals stripped from two schools in 2020, making the mostly white, Republican district the first in the U.S. to take such an action.

People's obsessions for the good old days just leaves me perplexed. As Carly Simon once sang - "these are the good old days."

Come on, WaPo.

You think Donnie’s gonna care about Paulie Pardon working for China? Y’all never heard of Trump’s bank accounts in China, or Trump Towers’ Chinese nationals, or Vanky’s Chinese trademarks-for-ZTE, or Donnie’s kissing Xi’s ass for the Commie Party’s birthday?

Depositions before charges?

"Anti-abortion legal crusader Jonathan Mitchell has filed seven legal petitions in Texas in recent years asking to depose abortion funds, providers and researchers. While these filings have created fear and confusion, none been approved by a judge.

Mitchell is now targeting individual women. He has filed at least two petitions seeking to depose women he claims traveled out-of-state to terminate their pregnancies"

Very high probability of seeing the northern lights tonight as far south as Pennsylvania, N Missouri, & Oregon, weather permitting. There's even a small possibility of viewing even further south, depending on local light conditions.

A G4/Kp8 watch hasn't been issued in almost 20yrs (aaaand of course it's going to be cloudy in New England 🙃). Best viewed from a very dark area with little to no light pollution. The further south, the darker it must be.
