“I don’t think the reality of what drones mean on the battlefield has really sunk in for the U.S. Army,” said Lt. Gen. Barno, a former commander in Afghanistan. “We certainly haven’t encountered the psychological impact of having a machine looking at you all the time that’s devoted to killing you”

This is why those banking on the Israeli "opposition" convince very few...

Yair Lapid, head of Israel's opposition:

"Those who demonstrated against Israel in London, Rome, Paris... were deceived by propaganda... The truth is, there was no genocide, no intentional starvation."

Ukrainians are feeling a deep unease that the rest of Europe is tired, turning its attention away from the war and viewing it as something that should simply end, no matter the cost.
Under Russian drones, Ukrainians wonder if Europe still cares
More than three years into Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s capital endures constant Russian attacks while watching European solidarity fray.

FLORIDA now requires public schools to share space with charter schools, and “one charter operator intends to occupy space in more than 100 public schools (!)” 🤔

Privatizing public schools at breakneck speed, filling their pockets with taxpayer funds. www.fox13news.com/news/charter...

Secunder Kermani: "For Palestinians these were hostages too"

In the next breath Kermani reports they were held in prison without charge or trial. Held indefinitely without charge, trial or evidence against them. So stop hiding behind 'For Palestinains..." & call them hostages.

If the Victorian Government can’t protect a frog site that’s signposted at both ends, how can we trust them with 1.2 million hectares of forests?

When your political party is completely out of ideas?

Burqa bans.
chrchristensen.bsky.social
Leader of Sweden’s Christian Democrats suggests banning burqas. Since almost no women in Sweden wear them, it’s a symbolic dog-whistle proposal targeting a tiny minority by a party that only attracts 4% of voters. Similar bans in Denmark and Switzerland proved to be next to useless.
