ColinC's JournalHRW: Israel using white phosphorous in Gaza, endangering civilians
Israel has used white phosphorus in its continuing military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, putting civilians at serious risk, Human Rights Watch has said, following an investigation.
Human Rights Watch said it verified footage taken in Lebanon and Gaza on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, showing multiple uses of artillery-fired white phosphorus over the Gaza City port and two rural locations along the Israel-Lebanon border.

This is an old article but news to me. Curious how many people have been aware of this.
Exit poll: Poland opposition claims victory
https://apnews.com/article/poland-election-vote-720f7b81838c33ccb2865fb3bc6e0414WARSAW, Poland (AP) Polands election result was on a knife edge as an exit poll said that the governing Law and Justice party won the most votes on Sunday but lost support compared to the last election. Opposition leader Donald Tusk said a coalition of opposition parties had enough votes to win the election.
The Ipsos exit poll suggesed that the opposition together has likely won 248 seats in the 460-seat lower house of parliament, the Sejm. Law and Justice, according to the projection, obtained 200 seats, while the far-right Confederation got 12 seats.
The new left leaning coalition winning spells the end of the ruling extreme right. This helps assure Poland is no longer headed the direction of Hungary and Turkey. Cautiously optimistic though as exit polls have been wrong in the past.

As far as I'm concerned Greg Abbott just murdered a child
There should be hell to pay for this.

Democrats just negotiated with terrorists largely because they had no choice
We need people to realize the importance of voting in Democrats BECAUSE of deals like this, not despite them.
In a way it kinda seems like the law is throwing a bunch of charges at Trump to see "what sticks"
You know, kinda like how Trump used the law to sue every institution to see what sticks. Except I have a feeling these are going to go a lot further than any of his BS claims.
Karmas a bitch, aint it?
Anybody have a good link to the WI SC election results?
Remember, this isn't just the day Trump got arrested, it will also (hopefully) be the day we flip the Wisconsin State Supreme Court!
Are Democrats or even "liberals" the real conservatives?
I told my anarcho capitalist friend the other day that Im conservative and he basically gave me a blue screen error. I was sorta messing with him but kinda not in some ways, as I think the Democratic Party can arguably be considered conservative in many of the more technical interpretations of the term.
Not in the modern political sense of the word, of course. But in the more traditional sense. Even in the traditional political sense, Democrats have certainly become the party of fiscal responsibility and smaller government when comparing policies on policing, budgets over the last 40 years and how much government plays a part in our personal lives. It is also the environmentally Conservative Party: prioritizing conservation and environmental protections in the tradition of the old GOP that established national parks. Conservative implies at least some type of moral foundation or compass which todays Republicans are devoid of.
Im just saying this because trying to equate any of todays GOPs policies as conservative in any sense of the word, makes me laughvomit. Right wing? sure. Neofascist? Absolutely. Conservative? When donkeys shit rainbow unicorns.
Will Trump be indicted next week?
I have my serious doubts but will be purchasing and chilling the champagne just. In. Case. That slimy, slippery slop of slime manages to seep out of any trouble. Hopefully I am wrong about this.

Just wanted to thank whoever gave me the heart. The last month has been pretty challenging for me so even that small gesture really helped me out!
