As with many people (I suspect) I can not help thinking that the great Reflecting Pool debacle simply mirrors the debasement of the US by Trump and his supporters.

"As the war with Iran took over the headlines, coverage of Gaza fell away while the killing went on".
"The fact that more than half of Gaza has been de facto annexed by the occupation" & that Palestinians are still starving & unable to access life’s most basic necessities doesn't make the headlines.

Folks need to recognize how much transphobia is driving the debate over the girl dad in the women’s washroom.
People have been so conditioned to hate and fear trans people that they now see bathrooms as a “sacred space” such that they will endanger kids to prove a point.
This is where hate and division lead.
A few years ago no one would have thought twice about a man bringing his two young daughters into the women’s washroom.
But years of trans hatred and fear mongering mean people believe only “women” can access that space.
People think those two young girls should have been taken into the men’s washroom despite the fact they would have been exposed to male nudity and possible aggression.
The girl dad did the right thing.
Anyone saying otherwise is pushing a narrative.
If a man wants to hurt us, he doesn’t need an excuse to enter our washroom.
He will just force his way in.
This particular incident proved that.
The girl dad asked permission. He checked with an employee. He had a reason to be there.
The straight male aggressor did not.
He forced his way in.
Traumatized the two young girls.
Caused a scene.
Abused local police services.
He was the predator, and he chose to access a “women’s only space”.
Trans people are not the enemy.
Girl dads are not the enemy.
It’s a false flag.
I’ve been the victim of sexual assault and I can honestly say I’ve never feared a trans person.
I’ve been in washrooms with trans women, drag queens and girl dads…I’ve never feared for my safety.
Stop allowing political rhetoric to cause division.
We can be better than this.

"British courts have upheld the proscription of Palestine Action & sentenced four of its activists as terrorists."
"A series of abuses of legal process ensured these outcomes were all but predetermined."

#DemocraticSocialists surge in mayoral races across the US as anti-Trump fervor rises
By MATT BROWN
Updated 12:05 AM EDT, June 19, 2026
WASHINGTON (AP) — "As #JaneeseLewisGeorge paves a path to the mayor’s office in #WashingtonDC, she’s told voters they could have it all.
"Her unapologetically expansive, left-wing agenda includes subsidized or even free #childcare, increased down payment assistance for homebuyers and community resources to reduce crime, plus a promise to aggressively confront President Donald Trump’s attempts to reshape the nation’s capital.
" 'People are tired of hearing what government can’t do. They want to hear what government can do,' Lewis George said in an interview before the city’s primary, where she defeated her Democratic opponents and positioned herself to win the general election in November in a city dominated by Democrats.
"Lewis George’s victory signals a break with a quarter-century of centrist governance in Washington, and it puts her in the vanguard of democratic socialists who have ascended in urban politics over the last year. #ZohranMamdani toppled Andrew Cuomo, the scion of a political dynasty, on his way to becoming New York City mayor. #KatieWilson won an upset victory to lead Seattle last fall. And this month, #NithyaRaman clinched a spot in the November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass."

"Trump Administration to Dismantle Ocean Monitoring System."
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/climate/ocean-observatories-initiative.html
"The Trump administration is dismantling a $368 million deep-ocean observation system that was put in place a decade ago to monitor coastal environments, marine ecosystems and powerful currents that affect the global #climate. The #NSF said it would send ships in June to begin removing more than 900 deep-sea instruments anchored off Oregon, Washington State, Alaska, North Carolina, and an area between Greenland and Iceland known as the Irminger Sea."
