The depth of Israel's international isolation is difficult to fathom if you're just watching mainstream media. But these images do not lie. Look at all these delegates leaving the General Assembly in protest as soon as Netanyahu takes the podium... nitter.net/RimaHas/status/2102652…

I’m grateful to have been included in this @QuincyInst documentary on veterans.
"We still had colonels, generals & sergeants major who had been in Vietnam. They stood in front of us and they said, 'We'll never do Vietnam again.' Then we did two Vietnams, right?" @MatthewPHoh QI's Veterans in FP initiative talked to US veterans about our wars. Please watch:

America's air monitors are disappearing. So people are buying their own. The problem? The chemical industry is working to make sure that data can't be used against polluters. floodlightnews.org/toxic-air…

Sommer 2026: 16.000 Hitzetote 🥵 alleine in 🇩🇪. Dürre. Brände. 🤯 Die Bundesregierung subventioniert jetzt mit 2.500.000.000 € von unseren Steuergeldern die Ursache der Hitze: fossile Brennstoffe. 🤯🤯🤯 Das Geld landet dann wieder bei Ölkonzernen, der Lobby gegen Klimaschutz.

After successfully outsourcing the Ukraine proxy war to Europe, Hegseth now wants the Europeans to take on a greater role in the war against Iran as well. Last week, we were told that the Strait of Hormuz was open and under U.S. control. This week, the Europeans are apparently expected to do their part to open it...

This reminds me of Michael Moore's comment about George W. Bush: "Any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up."
Weeks before the midterm elections, almost everything is getting more expensive. The price of dining out, filling a gas tank, and buying a house keeps rising while higher interest rates add to borrowing costs. wsj.com/economy/weeks-before…

It really is time for a substantive Taxpayer Revolt. Taxpayers are forced to fund the massive military empire in other countries backyards. Taxpayer Revolts are usually on tax rates—but it’s time for a taxpayer revolt on how our taxes are being illegally used to destroy the lives of innocent women, men and children abroad and take away those needed revenues from being invested back into our communities at home. Do any groups like @taxpayers want to take the lead on such a left/right initiative? -R

The ruling DC crime syndicate and its Nuclear Deregulatory Commission, @NRCgov, are exploiting this dire situation to bring back the civilian nuclear power industry from the brink of death. Mechanism: the bipartisan ADVANCE Act. See also peternightingale.substack.co…
We flew a thermal drone over one of the largest data centers planned on the East Coast. What we found: 60+ unpermitted generators, tractor-trailer-sized, burning a mile from two schools. floodlightnews.org/new-jerse…

It’s easy to buy an air pollution sensor and measure the air outside your house. But in three states, industry-backed laws now say that data doesn't count. floodlightnews.org/toxic-air…

Want to understand the federal budget? @YoBenCohen brought Oreos. A couple for education. A fraction for homelessness. A towering stack for the Pentagon. Remember: military spending isn’t inevitable; it’s a choice about where public money goes. worldbeyondwar.org/talk-worl…

By “reveal for the first time,” @CBSNews means that it had been asleep at the wheel and just woke up. Typical of the caved-in Fourth Estate.
New photos obtained exclusively by CBS News reveal for the first time the widespread damage and destruction of buildings and vehicles at multiple U.S. positions across the Middle East, as a result of Iranian missile and drone attacks. The images were sent to CBS News by active service members on condition of anonymity because of rigid media restrictions within the military. One deployed U.S. service member told CBS News "major damage to our bases hasn't been communicated" to Americans.

Wildfire smoke is spreading, data centers are adding pollution, and heat waves are worsening ozone levels. It matters more than ever to know what's in your air. The problem? The network built to tell you has lost nearly half its monitors. floodlightnews.org/toxic-air…
