#Trump probably wants there in the #US to police #civilians.

The US #military has authorized “the voluntary departure” of #troops’ dependents from locations across the #MiddleEast as tensions w/ #Iran have risen [which you’d think would be a reason to keep them there], 2 US ofcls said Wednesday.

One US defense ofcl said the order came from Secy of #Defense #PeteHegseth.

#US lifted ban on weapons to #Azov Battalion, a unit famous for resisting Russian siege on #Mariupol.

Ban was based on the Leahy Act, which restricts aid based on human rights violations.

A recent State Dept inspection found "no evidence" of these violations.

Were are living in a world where numbers in a data center push inequality to levels never seen before. There are guys on this planet who get richer by a million every day without even paying attention while others starve to death. Such a world is not fit to tackle the existential problems it faces.

I have said from the beginning that #Hamas #Oct7 attacks were timed for #ElectionInterference in #US #Election2024.

Never has this been more obvious than now.

Members of BOTH #Arab and #Jewish diaspora in #US have ratcheted up their attacks on #Democrats since #KamalaHarris became the presumptive nominee.

I have noted at length Rashida #Tlaib's role under that hashtag. Below, I note some from the #Israeli side.

BOTH groups are holding #Harris hostage to extract concessions for their side.

How Halloween pumpkins contribute to the climate crisis

But there’s a sinister side to the fun

After Halloween ends, people throw their pumpkins away, and they’re hauled off to landfills. Pumpkins in landfills rot — & when they do, those gourds expel gas

methane is at least 28 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in Earth’s atmosphere over a century-long period
