Just the right time to check the news. Well, a few minutes late, but I'll take it. 
I doubt anything fundamentally changes yet, but it's cathartic.
EDIT: It's quite something to notice that, as expected, the Iron Dome et all are broken, and that the resistance keeps showing how fragile the entity is with incredible restraint, while zionists - worried about the "defense of Israel", remember - are in complete denial. Same as the rest of what's going on, I guess.
I've never felt much need for spirituality, but not only has empathizing with the martyrs shone a light on their connection with their religion, I'm also feeling a need to say some sort of prayer later today, before or after catching up.
May Allah have mercy on Palestinians, Lebanese, and all the rest of them.
Good luck with that, French politics have nothing in common with TERF island.
They're literally endorsing the same "stop the steal" narrative, down to "stop the count". Worthless idiots.
You joke, but jesus fuck, what a bunch of corrupt fucking ghouls.
The new York Times is Hamas... sorry, putinist

In Ukraine, Killings of Surrendering Russians Divide an American-Led Unit A German medic said he was so troubled that he confronted his commander. Others boasted about killings in a group chat.
Hmmm...
The American volunteers are fighting without the backing of the United States government, which does not want to be drawn into direct combat with Russia.
Sure, Jack.
Mr. Grosse, a former German soldier, came to Ukraine seeking purpose and adventure. He fought alongside other foreign fighters early in the war. Then, he found his way to Chosen. [...] Chosen often acted as shock troops, teams that could lead assaults and clear Russian positions despite heavy fire and, sometimes, heavy casualties.
That's a shame.
Mr. O’Leary wrote that the accusations were baseless. He said that anyone who had spoken to reporters faced years in prison for releasing confidential information. “I’d prefer to stop any investigation before it starts and simply say it was a misunderstanding,” he wrote. “End of day, we are brothers.”
Definitely not fascism. But, really, it just goes to show the tragedy that is the empire, and how bad it's going to get.
I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

Yep. That is a thing that is true in 2024.
Really feeling that commitment to fighting climate change. Not sure how fucking BMW helps German industry, but at least there's that.
That's it. That's all I have to say. Thanks for having a space for it.
Looks like reality is approaching Ukranian media
Kyiv wants the United States to train more Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets, but the U.S. says there are limited spots and too many customers from other nations, Politico reported on June 5, citing Ukrainian and U.S. officials. Several countries, including the U.S., have pledged to assist Ukrainian aviators with the necessary training under the F-16 coalition framework. The first Ukrainian pilots began their training at Morris Air National Guard Base in Tucson, Arizona, last October.
Ukraine says it has 30 pilots prepared to start the training program in Tucson, but U.S. President Joe Biden maintains that the program only has space for 12 students at a time, three officials told Politico.
The same availability issues reportedly also affect training facilities in Denmark and Romania.
Over the past several weeks, Kyiv has officially requested that the U.S. train the additional pilots at the Tucson facility. The U.S. has not granted the request, citing committments to other nations in line for F-16 training at the base.
"We understand they don't want to break those contracts, but they could move their American pilots to a different base for training," Ukrainian lawmaker Sasha Ustinova told Politico.
They could. But you failed at achieving the impossible, now get stuffed.
Eight new pilots will begin training at the facility in Romania, while another eight are set to undergo training at the Tucson base. For the rest of the year, across all training sites, only four spots will be available for Ukrainian pilots, one official told Politico.
It would be more useful if they trained with the Japanese, they probably still remember how to get something out of vastly outnumbered and outclassed disposable airplanes.
Some tasty cope in the comments:
Why would any country trust paper security assurances ever again as a fair exchange for some more tangible sacrifice they are asked to make?
Why indeed.
Are the USA secretly Putler's best friends?
Reality keeps making everyone part of putinist Hamas.
After the bees, Hamas recruits police dogs. (no CW as every animal seems fine)
This is too much. I can't keep forcing myself to bear witness and see it getting worse and worse. We're going to read more unfathomable justifications of why burning a refugee camp never happened, but if it happened, it would be a good thing, and they weren't human anyway.
Just death to Israel, man. I'm welcoming everyone to just launch the nukes for months and months now. Instead, we'll get a few more sternly worded posts from Borell and other useless idiots.
