As Russia hits energy grid, Ukraine tries to avoid a cold, dark winter
Ukraine is facing a third winter at war, and Russia is targeting energy infrastructure like never before β an apparent bid to weaken morale. But war has taught the Ukrainians how to keep the lights on under almost any circumstance.Scott Peterson (The Christian Science Monitor)

Thank you Tom Hanks and John orloff for making Appleβs βMasters of the Air.β For my entire life, my dadβs experiences as a decorated navigator-bombardier with the 8th Air Force were just random glimpses saved to persistent memory by random chance.

And yes, it also makes me want to pick up a gun if it might serve something larger than myself; the defense of this timid shell of a people that my long-dead father once risked his life for, who donβt deserve the psychotic abuse of people like Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and the rest of humanities very worst output.

And fuck you every Fox-addicted, white Christian nationalist hypocrite Republican that still clings to a psychotic political party of scoundrels and bigots determined to destroy everything most of us spent our lives believing in. Fuck you all to hell.

"Artists installed a 3,000-pound, 17-foot-wide ice sculpture of the word 'democracy' at the National Mall. As art often reflects real life, the sculpture eventually spelled 'decay' as it melted. Our take: ICE - and ice - are literally making democracy melt away."

Turns out there's a good reason the Marines NEVER fire live munitions over I-5. The base has a live fire artillery range that's safely away from the freeway and out of view of the public.
But as with the fake assassination attempt, the Reich has no compunction abnout getting people killed for a photo op and slogan.
Also this story doesn't mention the anniversary of the Marines doesn't take place until November.

U.S. President Donald Trump says Hamas has been βdoing some shooting, and we think maybe the leadership isn't involved in that, it's some rebels within. But either way, it's going to be handle toughly, but properly."

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more.
Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages.
It Was Never About The Hostages.

I said that for some time now, Netanyahu didn't give a damn about the hostages. He wanted to finish the mission but now Trump intervened and came up with the ceasefire, jeopardizing his goals.
They were bombing the sh*t out of Palestine and destroying all infrastructure. They wanted to make sure that there is nothing left for them to return back.
They want to expand Israel, nothing less.
And N. stated there will never be an official state Palestine, which gives us a hint.
