Awful monsters. From the article: 'The vessel named Grace was stopped ... while using tactics to evade authorities ... “The high seas ​are not a sanctuary for lawlessness,” Adm Kevin Lunday, the commandant ​of the Coast ‌Guard, said.' For 'tactics to evade authorities' see 'break illegal embargo'.

It's like no-one in the media has noticed the title isn't 'Fascism', 'Classic Fascism', or 'Old-Timey Fascism'. How many times do 2 authors have to say 'this is new: this is a version we haven't seen before'?

Since the 'ceasefire' in Gaza, 1400+ Palestinians have been killed. 0 Israelis have been killed. The 'ceasefire' is not a Ceasefire but simply a protection for Israel, while Israel are allowed to go on killing.

In what promises to be the most consequential showdown over reproductive rights since the end of Roe v. Wade, three states with near-total abortion bans asked the Supreme Court to strike down blue-state laws that have enabled tens of thousands of abortions every year across state lines since 2022.

Shield laws are working. Now red states want the Supreme Court to end them.
The long-expected constitutional showdown over states’ rights and abortion rights is here.

I'll remember Esther Rantzen for an interview printed in a magazine I read in the dentist's. She was talking about grief and loneliness after the death of her husband. Her comment that she had plenty of people to do something with but now had no-one to do nothing with struck me as really profound.

UK airlines to be banned from charging parents to sit with children. Some people charged up to £104 extra. Neoliberals routinely moan about regulation but are silent on customer rip-off schemes. If businesses were ethical we wouldn't need regulation.

The attempted killing of Christa Pike is 1 more example of the cruelty involved in the death penalty, now masked as a medicinal death (“putting someone to sleep”). The government is killing its citizens & masking it as a medical procedure.
