They're trying to give a guy 10 years in prison for ripping a piece of already-peeling sealant, after pardoning people who beat cops and stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a democratic election. What a screwed-up administration.

Setting aside half the misinformation in this post, the Amish are also clearly a community that refuses to assimilate to American society.

And yet no one on the right seems to care. Curious.

The image of journalist Mujahid Bani Muflih encapsulates the reality of the Israeli prison system, which has become a tool of slow and direct killing of Palestinian prisoners.

Very similar forms of nationalism:

- Both fuse victimhood with ethnic chauvinism

- Both represent victims of Nazi genocide - and use that crime to justify their own genocidal behaviour

- Both weaponise Islamophobia

- Both committed to building ethno-states

This is not a normal statement from a normal cabinet member of a major nation. 

This statement from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir is the statement of a war criminal. 

The racist, extremist Israeli government does not deserve one nickel of U.S. support.

He’s so incompetent, he can’t even make the point he’s trying to make. The U.S. relationship with the UK is closer than any other bilateral relationship and far beyond the U.S. relationship with Israel. It isn’t a partnership, it is a sacrosanct alliance in which almost all intelligence is shared (or was before Trump) and trust is implicit. It’s why chief of London Station is the coveted pre-retirement assignment for CIA officers. We spy on Israel and they spy on us. They are not in Five Eyes and won’t be. Vance just elevated Israel to a level they’ve never attained by way of trying to diminish them. He has no idea what he’s talking about.

The key finding of the report is that energy transition alone will not suffice.

We need to combine it with "sufficiency" to stay within 2 degrees. This includes labour hour reductions, growth caps in rich countries, less material consumption, and changes in food habits.

never forget how the US used agent orange during the Vietnam War: sprayed on civillians, contaminating land, damaging ecosystems, and generations later kids are still born with disabilities linked to dioxin exposure. The US never issued a formal apology and paid compensation

Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis and many others have signed a letter urging Congress to increase security on orders of synthetic nucleic acids - and the equipment needed to make them - as models continue to become increasingly bio-capable.

The only qualification Bill Pulte has to be Trump’s Director of National Intelligence is his willingness to target Trump’s political enemies.

This is a dangerous pick not just for our national security, but our democracy. The Senate should reject him.

Reporting from the Financial Times on Xinjiang remains incredibly grim:

* In some areas, 90% of children are taken from parents to be educated in boarding schools where they aren't allowed to speak Uyghur
* Officials monitor who eats during Ramadan and report those who skip meals
* Basic items like prayer mats and religious text are considered illegal contraband
* Adult Uyghur women are pressured to marry Han Chinese men, and there are official goals to sterilize a certain % of them.
* Xinjiang has the largest prison capacity in the world relative to population
* Huge numbers of Uyghur prisoners are now being shipped across the country in forced labor schemes, as a way to dodge Xinjiang sanctions/boycotts
* The CCP shut down all 10 existing Uyghur-language publishers, none remain. They fed one university's book collection into a shredder.

There's a lot going on the world, but it's worth remembering that China is still actively engaged in cultural genocide. They're barely even hiding it, they openly talk about the need to 'correct' Uyghur culture and create 'ethnic unity'. They are openly destroying an entire culture as efficiently as they can, cutting children off from parents, restricting language, restricting religious practice, forcing sterilizations and intermarriage, imprisoning anyone who resists the tiniest amount and shipping them out to forced labor factories. That is what the CCP is.

When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating. How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!

Manila is completely throwing out the old diplomatic playbook and openly building a united front to stop Beijing's expansion.

At the 2026 Shangri-La Dialogue, Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro declared that the country is aggressively pursuing a "convergence endeavor" with shared security partners. In a bold, direct challenge to China, Teodoro revealed that the Philippines is actively seeking closer ties with Taiwan while forging tighter military links with nations like Japan and Vietnam.

The goal is entirely explicit: to deter what Teodoro bluntly labeled as China’s "nefarious plans" in the South China Sea. This strategic pivot highlights the Philippines’ rapid integration into US-aligned defense networks, sending a crystal-clear signal to Beijing that Manila will no longer stand alone against territorial coercion.

Foreign aid is a cornerstone of poltical influence btw.

Dismantling US Aid just made China stronger. But keep winning.
