Let's be clear about this. It is not the pro-Palestinians who are the danger here.

The Supreme Court ruled in Powell v. McCormack (1969) that the House cannot exclude a member who meets the constitutional qualifications (age, citizenship, residency). That case firmly established that a Speaker or majority cannot refuse to seat someone who meets those requirements.

2/2 But I'm crying out for someone to answer our politicians and let people say "Palestinians have been suffering bloodshed since Irgun and the other Zionist gangs began their assaults during the British Mandate. Since 7 October they have suffered unprecedented blitzkrieg and genocide. A Holocaust."

Absolutely. Sometimes less is more. The Netanyahoo narrative was written before the IDF let Hamas through the fence. The whole "greatest loss of life since the Holocaust, Final Solution for Palestine, Bloody massacre, You can't use the line we stole from you of the River to the Sea..." 1/2

Yeah, I am a bit in the same boat. Then I confront what historians do, and some of them do not let the lack of facts get in the way of a good story. But there is a good story with much of the stuff--particularly gold torcs, and maybe rhino cliff hunting.

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

Matt, it is up to us as archaeological and heritage professionals to create narratives that are widely appreciated in the community of non-professionals. What we do and produce will only be highly valued through the demonstration that such materials are essential to highly valued stories.

They had been placed. There was abundant documentation before the invasion of the lobbying by the so-called heritage people to get their hands on the materials that lie at the foundation of our society.

You should have tried coming to Australia 50 years ago. There was much talk then of "Wilderness" and much less of the likelihood that what was then thought wild had an Aboriginal history, particularly of burning. It took a while for the message to get through.

I encourage you to listen to Greta Thunberg's full statement. Thunberg seeks a just and sustainable world for all, rather than short-term financial gain for the few. The West's political leaders are exposed as complicit, unprincipled or cowardly. End the occupation #SaveGaza #FreePalestine. #auspol

Cypress in Autumn fog
#photography #NaturePhotography #landscape
A bald cypress tree cluster rises from calm, mist-covered water. The tree's reflection is slightly obscured by ripples and a low fog that drifts across a forested shoreline. The soft morning light brings out hues of green, blue and brown, reflected in the lake water.

This has some details of how muddy the whole situation was. It seems likely that Israel knew there would be an attack.

That documentation seems secure. The video I saw also asked the question of how the 200+ hostages could have been taken back across one of the most heavily armed borders in the world.

It is lost in the maw of social media. There was a video yesterday of the otherwise despicable bloke who was shot in Utah, whose sympathies we might have expected to side with the right wing. He was saying that there were credible accounts of stand down orders for 5 hours during the attack.

The story is emerging very strongly now about Israel's complicity with the events of 7 October 2023, so it does not look good to be leaning on that, rather than the deliberate destruction of Palestine from the beginning of the 20th Century.

Thanks to the quick work by the judge here to stop this out of control White House.
The image is an X post by Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney ) on X.com, reporting: "BREAKING: Immergut has granted Oregon and California's motion to block the new call-up of Guard troops to Portland. She says this effort to bring CA and TX troops to Oregon is in 'direct contravention' of her original order." The post includes a verified badge.

Absolutely wonderful. It is not easy ... and I would be terrified. But what great bravery to treat the scum as they deserve. Presumably the bodily movements imply that they are the spawn of satan.
