An ICE removal flight operated by Journey Aviation just landed in Myanmar--the second time this year. Migrants onboard will have been shackled for 19+ hours. Previous Burmese deportees were immediately sent to a nearby torture prison, per @jamesstout.bsky.social. gillianbrockell.com/three-craven...

Psychologists Say People Who Still Use Paper Calendars Aren't Stubborn or Old-Fashioned. Their Brains Are Wired to Process Information in a Richer Way
Handwriting on paper doesn't just feel different. It forces the brain into a deeper kind of encoding that screens cannot trigger, and the difference shows up on MRI scans within an hour.

Here to say that of Sunday shows I watch every week, today, Senator Mark Kelly is truly the star of the day. Happy Mother’s Day to all who believe in a military that follows its orders, a nation where guns are controlled, so our children can grow up without fear, & the lure of space is not a dream.

US State Department approves 'emergency' weapons sale to Israel
While US arms sales typically require approval by Congress, the secretary of state issued a waiver bypassing the approval. Major US defense companies have agreed to quadruple production of advanced weapons in an effort to 'improve Israel's capability to meet current and future threats.'

Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran has given Ukraine a new card to play—its hard-won expertise defending against Russian drone and missile attacks. The Iranian counterattack with cheap, easily produced drones has added new urgency for the Pentagon to close a deal with Ukraine. Ah, the irony!

No, it gets worse. Phillips writes about the Pluto return for the United States happening between 2021 and 2023. He is there two ways that could play out. It’s the first Pluto return for any constitutional democracy. It could play out two ways. Run by strongman and corporations (hmm)
The screenshot from the mountain astrologer, June July 2006 story “how the outer planets shape history”
This will be the first Pluto return for a constitutional democracy (assuming that the US is still a democracy), so no one knows what to expect, but it is certain to call up thoughts of how far the country has traveled since the declaration of independence. Either the US will have completely ignored the constitution and is being run by strong men in corporations, while the citizens are an armed revolt against those they considered the occupiers – or the constitution will have been reasserted and give a new life, and a true democracy now comes into being. Of course, this ladder outcome will be much more favorable, not only for the US, but also for the world at large.

What happened today, in Minnesota, is called an extrajudicial execution. It’s an extreme violation of human rights. And, ironically, one of the primary documents used at the United Nations in defining extrajudicial, summary, and arbitrary killings is the Minnesota Protocol. #ICE Source: OHCHR
