Tents part 2 [Times of Israel]
Benny Gantz, Israeli Minister and War Council Member, is calling for a snap election. The majority of Israelis agree with him and he is expected to easily defeat Netanyahu. [Guardian]
Former Ukrainian President Yuschenko links Putin's treatment of Ukraine to Stalin's systematic starvation of Ukraine and notes that both have stolen Ukrainian children to be raised as Russian. ['Daily Maverick]
Florida sets itself for Democratic wins. The six week abortion ban will go into effect months before the November election and a repeal of the ban will be on the ballot. So far Trump is still expected to take the state but down ballot races have dramatically changed. And there's a lot of legal uncertainty around Trump. [BBC]
“
This cannot become normal… We cannot condone the normalization of the January 6 US Capitol riot,” US District Judge Royce Lamberth said. Meanwhile two will be going to prison for engaging in
Trump related insider trading. [CNN]

The one that we're waiting to see in prison had two setbacks this week. There will be
no delay in the (criminal) hush money case and his ludicrous claim that the Georgia ballot case violated his first amendment rights. I don't remember
the election-fixing clause in the first amendment. [Guardian] [ABC]
Today in complete failure in dealing with violent crime:
Uvalde hired someone with no experience to whitewash the complete failure of the police with an active shooter in a classroom. [KSAT]
I'm on the Norwegian Dawn; You have heard about us. The more I think about this the more it bothers me. The ship did not abandon them. They abandoned ship and then complained about the "dangerous" situation they were left in. Bullshit. The people of Sao Tome and Principe are poor but friendly. They weren't stranded. They help every step of the way. It may not have been as luxurious as the cruise ship that they abandoned but normal people live in all the places they went through. This whole cruise along the west coast of Africa has been through poor countries that are still trying to repair the damages of slavery and colonization - it's everywhere that I looked. How fucking privileged are they? They were warned and they had to sign the same disclaimers that I and every other passenger on this or any other cruise ship had to sign. They were specifically warned that NCL couldn't be responsible for private excursions.
If they ignored the warning and went anyway knew that had to be on the ship one hour before sail time. They arrived two hours after that. All those guys who had already stowed the tenders have other jobs on the ship and delaying that long for the many employees missed necessary sleep breaks and that led to a chain effect because the people that they were replacing missed their breaks or arrived late to replace someone else. The entire ship suffered because of their selfishness. How fucking privileged are they? [Escape]
Political Discussion welcome.
