There's something so moving and disturbing about this: the moment when everything changes, captured by a woman who was grieving, maybe angry and despairing. Marking a moment when a man's life ended and life as she knew it ended, and the horror of war was fully and terribly unleashed.

I saw the Bayeux Tapestry today. Despite the somewhat rushed experience, it is truly awe-inspiring to stand before something so old, each stitch placed by the skilled women embroiderers of a conquered people, and preserved and cared for by generations. It's astonishing that it still exists at all.

Jane Doe is gang-raped. She does what everyone screams for survivors to do- report it. And BECAUSE she does report it, she's blamed, re-traumatized, and then raped in a different way by our system. Rapists face no consequences. CHANGE THE SYSTEM. MORE PROGRESSIVE JUDGES.

` 60+ Cherry Trees were cut down in DC to make way for a golf course for Trump. This act violated a court order. They did it anyway because the law doesn’t apply to this administration. These trees were gifted to the American people by Japan in 1912. More destruction by a criminal government.

AMERICA FIRST......

Here we are again... Another exceptional warm week is looming n Europe with temperatures up to 35C in Spain. Only the central Mediterranean will have pretty normal conditions.

There’s no obvious reason why that story would have been pulled. Interesting too that the Mail’s diary story on Gove and Salem splitting appeared three days after her court appearance. Almost like someone resembling Michael Gove wearing a fake moustache sent in that tip.

It is very interesting that the Mail’s story on Michael Gove’s recent ex-girlfriend being charged with CSAM offences has been memoryholed two days after it was published. Public records show she appeared at Oxford Combined Court centre on September 30 and pleaded not guilty.

With all the money in the universe and a bigger defense budget than the next 13 countries combined, you'd think we'd do well. Just proof that war is a stupid waste of money and lives.

Vietnam, Afghanistan, and now Iran.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel calls on Democratic lawmakers to set aside plans to impeach President Trump if they win a majority in the House, pushing them instead to pass an ethics reform package.
