"The gunman who killed 10 people in an attack on a school in Sweden shouted “you should go away from Europe” in between firing shots at his victims, video analysis shows"

"...the school offers Swedish classes for immigrants and programmes for people with learning disabilities."
This is looking like an anti-immigration motivated attack. (The early reports of police saying that the gunman had no ideological motive seemed questionable, given the choice of target.)

Streets designed for everyone are lifelines, not just pathways. It’s about ensuring people of all abilities can move freely and independently. Equitable mobility means creating safe, accessible streets where everyone, from wheelchair users to pedestrians and cyclists, can navigate with dignity.

No Syrian celebrating Assad's demise thinks the path forward is gonna be easy, between dealing with armed groups with authoritarianism, regional powers, etc. But its certainly something to have Indians be lecturing Syrians about being happy that Assad is gone, when Indian independence came

War is so fucking stupid.

Schlieffen Plan? Drive at Paris. Fall Rot? Drive at Paris. Barbarossa? Drive at Moscow. Desert Storm? Drive at Baghdad. Invasion of Ukraine? Drive at Kyiv. Prigozhin? Drive at Moscow. HTS? Drive at Damascus.

IT'S ALL JUST DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AT FUCKING CAPITALS

Stuff I don't talk on that hellsite.

The paid gigs that I lost because I wanted to talk about discrimination.

I have had private companies ask me to provide training or give a talk about disability. Among them have been banks and insurance providers, who discriminate against OKU.

To clear my buddies and me of the BASELESS and WOKE allegations of ‘war crimes’, ‘terrorism’ and ‘crimes against humanity’, I will be sending a full delegation of experts to the Hague to DELETE the coordinates which the courts sit on. That is all I have to say on the matter

The effort to undermine the Maori treaty is led by David Seymour, who has ties to the Atlas Network and who used to work at a Canadian think tank that has called the discovery of graves of Indigenous children at a residential school a "hoax."

If I was thinking of ideal conditions for a color revolution, it would be hard for me to do better than “Antagonize the military while appointing a manifestly unfit person to lead DOD, then fire X00,000 people who live within a Metro ride of the center of government.”

Excellent thread, @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social .

I’m honestly losing my mind with this. 90s strategists, Morning Joe, certain never-Trump pundits on fainting couches, saying “the Dems are too woke!”

Sorry. this was massive RW disinformation & centrists, pundits etc are literally helping them
