Jews are not collectively responsible for Israeli government policy. People demonstrating peacefully for Palestine are not collectively responsible for the attacks on British Jews. Collective punishment for other people's crimes is not justice.

My faithful companion!

How many trips have you accompanied me on?
How many peaks have you climbed with me?
How many river valleys did we paddle through together?
How many countries and cities did we travel to together?

At many stations you made the waiting time pleasant for me with your contents.
Also in Pisa (Italy), where you chose the tower and its inclination as your great idol!

Since then, you have shown me the direction and cheered me up again and again: "Forward! Be brave! The goal is getting closer .."

France and Germany send firefighters to help battle Dutch blazes.

Stretched Dutch authorities requested help facing the emergency through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, with France and Germany responding.

Many of the fires, which broke out on Wednesday and Thursday, were raging in land used for military training, including an artillery range, in the south.

Welcome to Issue 237 of The Continent

Mali has been at war since 2012 but its people press on. This time it's different: coordinated attacks and insurgent blockades are halting daily life, while Assimi Goïta fights to stay in power.

Threat modelling implies the existence of threat modelling agencies, threat fashion shows, threat celebrity designers, and threat supermodels, which is all a sentence that started out as a joke but I think I’m on to something.

Ett gott samarbete mellan partierna i riksdagen handlar om tillit och respekt för överenskommelser. Men istället uppvisar SD bristande vandel när de helt skiter i ingångna avtal. www.expressen.se/nyheter/poli...

Goodlander: Do you agree with the statement, “the military won't follow unlawful orders.”

Hegseth: I do, but understand what you're insinuating is a partisan point.

Goodlander: I’m actually quoting you directly from 2016.

Won't you look at that. It seems we have liftoff for an *economic* transition away from fossil fuels.

The transition needs to be economic, because some poorer countries rely on fossil fuels to service their debt. So debt cancellation is part of the package.

5 Facts to Know: Mali Attacks

1️⃣ Coordinated nationwide strikes.
Simultaneous attacks on April 25-26 targeted strategic military and political sites spanning 1,500 km, from the capital Bamako and the military hub of Kati to central and northern regions, including Kidal.

2️⃣ Assassination of senior leadership.

Two days of national mourning have been declared in Mali after the country's defence minister was killed in an attack by Al-Qaeda linked group JNIM, who have allied with Tuareg rebels. Despite their disagreements, the two sides joined forces to fight against the Malian army, which is supported by Russian mercenaries.

Uppenbarligen behöver en del av våra politiker läsa #Regeringsformen.

Här några godbitar:

"All offentlig makt i Sverige utgår från folket."

"Den offentliga makten ska utövas med respekt för alla människors lika värde och för den enskilda människans frihet och värdighet."

"Var och en är gentemot det allmänna tillförsäkrad
1. yttrandefrihet ...
2. informationsfrihet ...
3. mötesfrihet ...
4. demonstrationsfrihet ...
5. föreningsfrihet ...
6. religionsfrihet ..."

Bra saker att ha koll på.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...
