This week, in Place de la Bastille, Paris. Young people singing 'La Marseillaise', the police charging.

Chat is it good when an Ambassadorial nominee writes "Stop papering all these things. It’s really dangerous ... if you write an email or a text about, l’m gonna kill you cause I love you but you’re so out of control" to the man who paid her $300,000 to help resolve his tax issues with the IRS?

the fruits of a single-minded and maniacal focus on supporting Israeli genocide

I don’t think a 21X increase in the cost to get a tanker out of the Persian Gulf with lower total exports than before the war is an achievement. And I think it’s odd that so much of the press has been covering it as if we should see this as positive, with “Better Than You Think”-style “explainers.”

Cory Booker — who is being floated as a 2028 contender, and who just the other day did not deny the possibility of wanting to become leader of the Senate Democrats — promotes the book of Brett McGurk, a chief architect of the US-backed Israeli genocide of Palestine:

People won't voluntarily give up their Kid-Crusher 5000s unless we make driving them considerably more costly and inconvenient, which is precisely what we should do.

"Those claims mask a voluntary system riddled with loopholes that has made scant progress toward stamping out one of the oil industry’s dirtiest practices. The industry helped shape the initiative, which leaves companies to police themselves."

“For the first time in my career I was able to do what I loved — and not feel like I’m dying.” All-electric cooking is where it's at. All the speed and precision, without all the cancer and asthma-inducing chemicals of gas.

Think tanks will soon start releasing non-peer-reviewed modeling of how the permitting bill might affect pollution, if they haven't already. Most will secretly have lots of ideology-driven thumbs on scales. One big way to tip the scales is by ignoring pollution associated with oil and gas exports.

This is all correct - I’d emphasize ongoing low transit of other Gulf energy outputs, especially LNG and diesel. More critical than crude. Diversion of strategic naval assets from Asia, threat of other horizontal escalation. And all essentially for nothing.

and then he didnt cut him off. Instead he sent him more weapons for mass killing
