"The veterans demanded Speaker Mike Johnson come meet them to accept the folded flag and pledge to not continue funding of the war. At least 60 were arrested while waiting for Johnson to meet their demands.

"Those arrested included Executive Director of Veterans For Peace Michael McPhearson and Executive Director of @centeronconscience Mike Prysner"

Veterans for Peace say:

"Disabled military veterans arrested for peacefully protesting the Iran War at Capitol Hill. A coalition of 200 veterans standing at attention, held red tulips honoring Iranians killed by US bombs, and conducted a flag-folding ceremony symbolizing the US troops killed."

A mother fox and one of her cubs, in my back garden

At this time of year, I can often see groups of fox cubs, running around, chasing each other, while their mother tries to keep them safe and stop them going too far

"With 1.4 billion Catholics backing Pope Leo XIV and a mere 325 million American citizens (only citizens count in Trump’s America, right?), but only 135 million approving of Trump (41.5% RCP average), the man who would be Orange Julius Caesar finds himself outmatched in every way except militarily. Leo is 10 times the man Trump never was."

They are still bombing the shite out of Iran for ... Iran has a ahite government. So does Israel, the USA, NKorea, Russia, China, and a bunch of others. But the USA and Israel are the only ones bombing the shite out of others.

They can go fuck themselves as far as I am concerned.

"When you can buy your way out of any mistake, when you can fire anyone who disagrees with you, when your social circle consists entirely of people who need something from you, the basic mechanism by which humans learn that other people are real goes dark.

....Where there is no moral universe, there is no arc, no bending toward justice, and no justice."

No Moral Universe, No Arc - Digby's Hullabaloo

The aliens are here and living, not among us, but in spite of us https://halcyonrealms.com/film/prometheus-peter-weylands-2023-ted-talk/ A truly disturbing article in The Atlantic is one I need to reread to truly absorb. Noah Hawley created the FX series Fargo and Alien: Earth. What he learned from three nights at Jeff Bezos’s Campfire retreat in 2018 carries the ominous tenor of dystopian
