US mainstream reporters ask questions that seem to push Biden to bring the US into the war against Russia. Biden wisely recognizes that that would be a very bad idea. Why don't they?

A Dubai company which owns most of the ferries in the UK has fired all the workers and plans to replace them all with low-wage subcontracted workers. Some are refusing to leave the ferries that they were working on.

A Tory minister wrote a letter in support of the firing before the public found out about it. That's the plutocratist position: bow down to the Invisible hand when it hurts the poor; override it when it hurts the rich. Replacing workers to cut pay ought to land those in charge in prison.

In this case, those in charge are the royal family of Dubai, responsible for terrible injustices.

A good government would set a minimum wage and working conditions for scheduled ferries operating in its ports, even if they to go other countries, so that the companies would have nothing to gain by preferring foreign crew and no opportunity to do this.

This is the sort of thing I believe Jeremy Corbyn would have done, and that's why I'd support him if I were British. I would be favorably surprised if Starmer took such a stand.

Disgust for Putin's atrocities in Ukraine seems to be creating a narrow spirit of unity between the Republican and Democratic parties.

Whether that is a change for the better is something that remains to be seen. If Republicans can unite with Democrats in measures against Putin, would this spirit of unity reduce their intention to impose permanent Chritianitist plutocracy on the US, through unfair elections? Or would they instead hide their hostility behind the apparent "unity", to undermine our resistance?

An appeals court authorized the EPA to take account of the "social cost of carbon emissions" — effectively an estimate of the amount of damage that much more global heating would cause -- when regulating emissions.

Eventually this decision will go to the Supreme Court, and I expect the worst there.

The Putin forces are applying against Mariupol the terrorist tactics that they used against Syrian cities such as Aleppo.

I say "terrorist" because their essence is to make war against the civilians, and that's what terrorism means.
