The U.S. and five major allies, including Japan, condemned economic coercion and nonmarket policies regarding trade and investment in a joint declaration that didn’t cite China by name but clearly had Beijing in mind. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/06/10/business/us-japan-allies-china-economic-security/?utm_content=bufferb0e01&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #news #business #china #us #usjapanrelations #economicsecurity
Johnson...
Lying, negligence, malice and fraud.
Deliberately sabotaging public health, PPE, testing, sending thousands covid+ patients in to carehomes etc to cover over their massive scale fraud and thieving from the covid response, is just one part of toxic shitpile that is the 'Johnson legacy'.
He and many other Conservative chums should be in jail for the billions they siphoned off, the damage they created and the deaths they caused. #UK #UKpol #politics #covid #UK #UKpol #politics #covid

Huh ... I thought I posted this hours ago. I forgot to click "Publish." Oh well, better late than never. Or is it late when I set my own loose schedule? ;)
There are usually several birds in my backyard in the morning. Titmice, chickadees, cardinals, doves, etc. This broad winged hawk (Buteo platypterus) flew over the yard this morning, it made a couple passes and there wasn't another bird in sight. The second this hawk was gone, it was party time again.

@Popehat If we refuse to prosecute powerful criminals like Donald Trump because we’re afraid of their followers, the US is already gone.
The argument against prosecuting is an argument from cowardice.
The recently-former chairman of the Cranston, Rhode Island #GOP, who resigned last month after being arrested for smoking crack, has been arrested again -- this time for molesting a 12-year-old girl.
"A study in Clinical Immunology shows that children’s immune systems don’t remember Covid. They don’t adapt. Each time they get sick, it’s like a brand new infection. Another study in PLOS ONE shows that mental health problems in children have doubled since the start of the pandemic, and that Long Covid is playing an under-examined role. The information gathered over the last year shows conclusively that children are no safer from Covid than adults."

When you know what you want, but you don't know how to get it.
I hope everyone's having a fruitful #caturday!
Christofascist aka modern Nazi Pat Robertson dying means all else considered, its a fucking great day for Earth & Humanity.
DeSantis’s “wokeocracy” is but a dog whistle that beckons racist bigots. It’s a call to action against the freedoms and rights people of color, LGBTQ people, immigrants, and asylum seekers.
DeSantis courts that hideous, hateful fold of Americans who want a WHITEocracy that’s a “Christian” theocracy. That’s what the GOP is all about: racism, bigotry, misogyny, and the daily torment of LGBTQ people.
DeSantis is as vile as the myopic MAGA morons to whom he panders.

Celebrating the rescue of the four children of the Huitoto indigenous community, found alive after surviving a plane crash and spending weeks in Colombia's Amazon jungle.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
