Apparently the US government can kill people on the high seas, in other lands and on its own streets—and nothing will be done to stop it. The US is now a gangster state at home and a rogue state abroad, writes dag

If a new app was produced which had, as its core features, the generation of sexual deep fake images of children and calls for a violent global far-right revolution, then not only would it be swiftly banned, but you wouldn't have a single mainstream politician willing to associate themselves with it

Defence secretary John Healey is still at large despite authorising UK military support to Israeli intelligence during a genocide.
In parliament he defended UK support to the US ship seizure operation and said Britain was the US's "closest possible" ally, 4 days after the US Venezuela coup.

I want the media to understand just how close what happened today is to where George Floyd was murdered. 0.8 miles.
