which was correct; in my unconscious, I see you
as the devil. And it’s true I have loved many
a demon, but none with eyes like yours..."

Have a look at THIS! I mean the cover picture is pretty dispiriting but you've gotta hand it to them. America's just been left in the shade. Or in the blazing heat.
As the Trump administration’s “big, beautiful bill” eliminates many clean-energy incentives in the United States, China continues huge investments in wind and solar power. See images of the scale of China’s solar-power projects:

Great piece by Golnoosh Nour:
I was born right after a war & grew up under the threat of yet another war. I don’t recall exactly when this fear emerged in my psyche... But I’m so sick of saying that the Iranian regime is also nasty. So what? That doesn’t give other countries the right to bomb Iran.

"How can this happen here?" Well, much of the nuts-&-bolts infrastructure was already in place. Decades of growing paranoia post-9/11 & back to Civil Rights days (cf. 'War on Drugs') created a hungry beast growling in the corner for more flesh...

ICE now resembles a paramilitary force – trained for combat, executing raids, splitting up families and feeding a for-profit carceral system that shames the idea of justice

Also, police could bypass legal requirements for a court order to obtain women's medical records from NHS providers (note: 'NHS providers' - assumes they're private companies!).

Literally not possible from this article even to tell who's called the protest, who the counter-protesters are, or what it's about. #IYKYK isn't really a newsroom policy, is it

Hi, @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social - just a quick question re the PM "using his own words to rightly recognise both the contribution migrants have made over generations and to make the point that uncontrolled migration has been too high".
When have we had uncontrolled immigration in the UK?

We heard the rumors. Maybe president panican will declare martial law, maybe he won’t. But do you think this clown car of incompetent sycophantic signal leakers can keep all 300 million of us down? Absolutely not. We will not comply. Here’s some advice from Oliver Kornetzke. Let’s get weird.

A massive and classic rant. Two great phrases for the day:
"a regime drunk on xenophobia and institutional violence"
and
"this industrial machinery of racialized cruelty"
And yes, let's think about the mothers. The mothers in Gaza, too, I think.

I wonder what the mothers of those working for America’s modern-day Gestapo—ICE—must think when they see what their sons and daughters have become. Do they know? Do they turn away in denial? Or do...

What IS this FUCKERY? I'm in pretty-much-lily-white Kent & I don't discern everyone here 'walking forward together'. & I guess I'm a f'ing stranger by his lights, oh wait I'm WHITE, I can pass... What is he actually ON about. Hackney felt more inclusive - till the white bourgeoisie commandeered it.
