New Mexico GOP headquarters molotoved
Right-wing media are reporting that the New Mexico headquarters of the GOP was hit with a molotov cocktail yesterday. The entryway is desceribed by Breitbart as "destroyed." Presumably this prevents use of the building until (and IF) it can be repaired.

There's a great article up by @cwarzel in The Atlantic about The Gleeful Cruelty of the White House X Account. It's a scary but thoughtful analysis of a grim societal trend, focusing specifically on how intensification is implemented via the ex-bird site, lately a cesspool of distilled toxicity from which many still regularly feed.
ESPECIALLY the part in Warzel's article about ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) made me shudder. The article is worth reading for that part alone.
(His post at BlueSky, which I've linked below, has what I think may be a gift link.)

...further #escalation in the #war. And this is exactly what #Musk did in Feb 2023, in order to "avoid escalation."
Now that Musk seems to be endorsing DeSantis by offering him a platform on Twitter, Ian has suddenly forgotten about #Trump and started endorsing Ronnie.

“Macron's Folly: Why "Pacification" Guarantees Escalation - From Munich to Minsk: The West's Relentless Path to War with Russia”
by Raja Sohail Bashir in The Geopilitical Compass on Substack
Historic #escalation in the #WhiteHouse. The way #Trump and #Vance talked to #Zelensky is just disgusting. No matter how you feel about Zelensky and his rhetoric: He represents #Ukraine, a country that was attacked and defends itself against a genocidal invader heroically every day. In contrast, Trump and Vance have not said a word to #Putin. Unbelievable.
A quotation from Steven Moffat
JEFF: You’re not ready for the Giggle Loop. […] Basically, it’s like a feedback loop. You’re somewhere quiet. There’s people. It’s a — it’s a solemn occasion. A wedding. No — it’s a minute’s silence for someone who’s died. […] Minute’s silence ticking away. Tick. Tick. Tick. The Giggle Loop begins. Suddenly, out of nowhere, this thought comes into your head: the worst thing I could possibly do during a minute’s silence is laugh. (Overturns an empty beer glass) And as soon as you think that, you almost do laugh, automatic reaction. But you don’t, you control yourself. You’re fine. Whoo — but then you think how terrible it would have been if you’d laughed out loud in the middle of a minute’s silence. And so you nearly do it again, only this time it’s a bigger laugh. (Stacks a beer glass on top of the first one) And then you think how awful this bigger laugh would have been. And so you nearly laugh again, only this time it’s a very big laugh. (Stacks another glass) It’s an enormous laugh! Let this bastard out, and you get whiplash! (Stacks another glass) Suddenly, you’re in the middle of this completely silent room (Stacks another glass) and your shoulders are going like you’re drilling the road! And what do you think of this situation? Oh, dear Christ, you think it’s funny!

#australia #israel #palestine : #antisemitism / #islamophobia / #violence / #escalation
„A rash of antisemitic attacks in recent weeks has rattled the Jewish community in Australia, home to the largest proportion of Holocaust survivors outside Israel. There have been no reports of major casualties but the violence represents a dramatic escalation of tensions reverberating from the war in the Middle East, which has also spurred Islamophobic episodes in Australia.“

Allport's theory shows how small acts of bias can snowball into serious harmful acts if not addressed.
It has 5 Phases:
- Anti locution - casual negative talk, jokes, stereotypes, derogatory comments
- Avoidance - excluding people
- Discrimination - prejudice turns to action
- Physical attack - hostility escalates to violence
- Extermination - history has a habit of repeating itself

„Yemen’s Houthi rebels carried out missile attacks on Israel’s Tel Aviv. Media reports claimed that sirens blared across the central Israel as well as port city of Eilat. Meanwhile, over a million people rushed to shelter homes as missiles approached Tel Aviv. IDF, which acknowledged Houthi strike, retaliated with multiple aerial strikes in Sanaa and Hudaydah.“

While abandoning the treaty aligned with the first Trump administration’s broader opposition to arms control, continuing to pressure Mr Putin into compliance would have been the wiser course.
‘Honestly, go f*ck yourself’: Ukrainians react to Joe Rogan’s Ukraine rant
#Rogan sparked outrage in Ukraine, after claiming Kyiv & its Western allies, rather than #Russia, “are about to start #WWIII”
Despite long-running nuclear threats from the #Kremlin, & the fact #Moscow launched a full-scale #invasion of #Ukraine in the 1st place, Rogan pinned all the blame for #escalation of international tensions on Biden & Zelensky.

While Russia wields imperial dreams and #nuclear #threats, the world suffocates — both under the weight of #war and the smog of neglect
