Time	Event
2:37a	ICE arrests strike fear The bully has jailed over 130 immigrants from Iran since the brief war, accusing them of being "sleeper cells" for sabotage. Many of them came to the US because they opposed the Iranian regime, defending there the human rights that the US used to stand for. If they were deported to Iran, they could be put in Evin prison or another prison even worse. Now the US could deport them to some other place such as Djibouti. Will courts ensure that the deportation thugs prove a case against these accused spies before deporting them? Or will it allow the bully's hate-spreaders men to spread terror among all refugees and naturalized citizens in the US? (Comment on this)
2:37a	Palestine Action *Palestine Action isn’t a danger to British democracy — but this repressive government is.* Any government that tries to stretch the definition of "terrorism" as an excuse to punish someone declares itself an enemy of freedom. (As is any government that tries to stretch the definition of "antisemitism" as an excuse to punish someone.) (Comment on this)
2:37a	Israeli airstrike *Family of Dr Marwan al-Sultan says the Israeli airstrike "precisely" hit the apartment block the cardiologist and his relatives occupied.* (Comment on this)

2:37a	Italy greenhouse gases The largest oil company in Italy is suing those who have denounced it for its greenhouse emissions, and even arranged for one to be prosecuted. (Comment on this)
8:37a	Destruction of science *We are witnessing the destruction of science in America.* With years more research, we would have been likely to find treatments or preventatives for many diseases that plague millions of people. I suppose research will still be done in Europe and Asia. But the US contribution has been important. (Comment on this)
8:37a	Israel's army mistakes Israel was compelled to admit it had shot a convoy of Palestinian medics, but still has recourse to false facts and irrelevancies to defend it. Whether some or all of the medics in a team are related to an enemy force is irrelevant as long as they act as medics are supposed to act, and these did so. The army's own investigation has contradicted its public excuses. (Comment on this)
8:37a	Labour left Jeremy Corbyn's party is reanimating the Labour Left and from outside Labour. (Comment on this)
8:37a	Europe’s heatwaves Europeans seem to recognize that heat waves indicate a slow-moving disaster, but they have given up on the idea of convincing governments to resist the planet roasters. In effect, they are giving up civilization for dead. How sad — because they could make governments safe if they determined not to give up. (Comment on this)
