As paraphrased by Al Jazeera, Tehran presented Trump with three conditions to end the conflict: a halt to hostilities “across the region,” an unfreezing of Iranian assets, and an end to the U.S. naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. Why would he not end the war?🤔 www.rawstory.com/trump-iran-2...

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

Remembering Yayoi Kusama. I saw her exhibits at Seattle Art Museum and at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk DK. "Kusama: Infinity" is a documentary about her life work. Gone too soon, age 97.

When your government says it’s planning to open multiple prisons that will house up to 3,000 children, it’s time to demand a new government. There is no context in which this is legitimate or acceptable.

Happy 19th Amendment ratification day to those who celebrate, which better be all you MFers. US women won the right to vote on OTD, August 18, 1920. Here’s incarcerated suffragette Helena Hill Weed who helped make votes for women happen, 72 yrs after the Seneca Falls Convention first demanded it.

🧵The @newyorkermag.bsky.social has a devastating, in depth examination of the Camp East Montana detention center constructed at Fort Bliss near El Paso. The story focuses on several migrants held there, inclding Rey, who fled Cuba in the 90s on a raft fashioned from a truck tire.
A Reporter at Large
Locked Away
On a military base in West Texas, where the government has built a sprawling tent complex to hold thousands of immigrants, deprivation and dire conditions are part of the design.

Trump just shrunk Bears Ears by 91% and Grand Staircase-Escalante by 90%. Bears Ears was the first national monument co-managed by tribes. Five tribes spent years building that partnership. It's been walked back. 100,000+ archeological sites now exposed to mining and drilling.

I’d like to contact John Roberts right now but I’m to angry and that would not be a good message. Is anyone else writing them and what are you saying? I want to be firm but polite. I just feel Americans need to let them know we are watching and don’t like what we see.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

NOT-SO-FUN FACT:
The Trump administration has gutted the CDC's Vessel
Sanitation Program,
FIRING EVERY FULL-TIME INSPECTOR RESPONSIBLE FOR INVESTIGATING
CRUISE SHIP OUTBREAKS.
So Trump disbanded the federal government's pandemic quick response before COVID, and gutted the cruise ship outbreak program before hantavirus. His incompetence is OFF THE CHARTS!
