She did get to ride through the easiest times - the peak imperial moment.

Further sweeping evacuation orders issued in Ukraine. The Russians are surging forward towards Pokrovsk, capturing many areas intact without much fighting. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces in Kursk seem to have stalled.

Zelensky has declared that he aspires to make Pokrovsk the new Bakhmut, while simultaneously admitting that the war will only end by dialogue. Seems the mood in Ukrainian command is low, and the only solution they can think of is feeding more conscripts into death pits until that somehow creates a position of strength that Ukraine can negotiate from.

The war is moving fast now.

This morning, Ukraine has issued evacuation orders up to 30km from the front lines around Novohrodivka in the Donetsk region. We might be seeing the start of collapses in Donetsk as the Russians push beyond the heavily fortified 2014 lines, and cut the Ukrainian defense in two. Meanwhile, in Luhansk, Ukraine is holding on by it's fingertips, and Russia is prying them away one by one, seemingly with deliberate intent of declaring the region liberated.

The Sudzha incursion is spreading Ukrainian troops thinner and thinner, while activating increasing numbers of Russian troops that were previously restricted to homefront-only operations. Ukraine has essentially double the number of enemy troops they are in contact with.

If this doesn't cause Israel to try and flatten Beirut, nothing will.

Don't use your kids as human shields in your genocidal colonial project.

Time for another few hundred thousand colonists to abandon their genocidal project and fly home.

UK merchant ships continue to do this - same attitudes.

Working with some organisations, I've even talked to people who remembered the good old post-war days where officers cruised their warships around the crumbling empire; ships running on a class/caste system where your racial inferiors did your laundry and service, and your class inferiors did all the marine work.

I've even heard of junior officers being punished for doing their own laundry since it breaks down the hierarchy.

Well done to the IDF for killing the bad guys.

Israel has never needed an excuse to maim people and destroy their homes.

Human life can go back to normal once the settlers go home.

That's not true at all.

The occupation of Palestine has produced some of the bravest and most resourceful fighters in history.
