In a bizarre and violent Easter Sunday message, Donald Trump has praised Allah. While there’s nothing wrong with a man praising a god in any language, it does read a little perversely when he’s simultaneously threatening war crimes against the Muslim nation of Iran:

NEW: President Trump says “praise be to Allah” as he threatens Iran

Trump — War crimes

While the above is shorter than a lot of Trump’s recent rants, there’s still a lot to highlight. Firstly, the opener:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.

Trump is threatening to repeat the attacks on power plants and bridges which the US has already subjected Iran too. As attacking civilian infrastructure is a war crime, this means Trump is openly threatening to commit war crimes.

What the US is doing in Iran is barbaric.

Trump is intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure, and boasting about it.

The US military launched a double-tap strike on a bridge with no military activity, massacring Iranian civilians who were picnicking.

In future generations, people will ask why American politicians didn’t move to remove Trump when he was blatantly threatening to violate international law. Hopefully, said politicians will be answering such questions from their prison cells.

Next, Trump said:

There will be nothing like it!!!

By this, he means ‘nothing like it besides the previously committed war crimes I just admitted to‘.

He continued:

Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell

Not sure you get to call people “crazy” when you’re the one who started this futile war in the first place.

The US and Israel have repeatedly attacked Iran despite peace talks continuing. Arguably, Iran’s response has been incredibly rational.

To avoid any risk of the US provoking a conflict every twelve months, they’ve sought to demonstrate how costly hostilities will be. “Crazy” would be for them to engage with Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu as if they were honest actors.

1. Trump is being driven insane by his inability to defeat Iran.

2. This is a threat to commit unspeakable war crimes.

3. If he does this, Iran will target energy and water desalination infrastructure in the Gulf, triggering a global depression. pic.twitter.com/q4igi5Pk9s

As we’ve reported, Trump appears to be counting down towards some sort of extreme event:

BREAKING: President Trump announces he will be having a news conference with the US Military at 1 PM ET tomorrow.

This is just 3 hours after his “48 hour warning” to Iran expires.

He also just declared Tuesday as “power plant and bridge day.”

We will be covering it real-time.

Praise be

Trump ends with what’s presumably sarcasm (we can’t say definitively, because he’s clearly not with it):

Praise be to Allah.

If Trump’s hoping to come out of this looking good, he’s going to need to send praise to more than Allah. Because at this point, nothing less than a miracle is going to clean up his mess.

This is a hell of a message for the American President to put out on Easter, anyway — especially considering he’s the candidate of choice for the American evangelicals.

Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement from the Grand Rapids Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression.

The Grand Rapids Alliance is stunned but not surprised at the decision by Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker to shield the murderers of Da’Quain Tre Johnson. We condemn this decision and are filled with emotion alongside his family as they will no longer get their day in court due to the inaction of the justice system in Grand Rapids. We call upon the Attorney General Nessel to rectify this and bring charges against these officers.

Once again, we see a justice system that protects the powerful and not the broader community. We see decisions made behind closed doors with no explanation in court. The police department plays public relations games while investigations are ongoing, tainting evidence and swaying the public before any decision can be made. Officers are empowered to be judge, jury, and executioner with no recourse for the victim or the community.

The city should launch an independent 3rd party investigation immediately and begin a review of its policy of deadly force by police officers. We stand by the Johnson family as they pursue a civil case against the city. We renew our call for community control of the police department. Until those who use deadly force are held accountable by the community they are supposed to keep safe, peace is not possible.

Justice for Da’Quain Tre Johnson!

Pasta dough from scratch but it took longer than expected to get the pasta in and out of the pot so the butter went from brown to dark brown. Still tasty. Sage and garlic from the yard.

New Orleans, LA – On March 30, Jace Lee Scott's family and supporting activists rallied outside the city council's Criminal Justice Committee hearing. About 15 community members then packed the meeting and made public comments demanding that NOPD officer Victor Gant Jr. be fired for his role in his son Andrew Gant's coverup and killing of Jace.

During public comment on the NOPD's quarterly report, Jace's mother Shanta Scott had her mic abruptly cut and the council cleared the chambers, arresting one activist: Toni Jones of the New Orleans Alliance.

During the course of the five-hour meeting, public comment was repeatedly interrupted by the committee cutting the microphone on Shanta Scott and her supporters.

When commenting on one presentation Scott stated, “My trust has been damaged by NOPD and the criminal court system. Justice is not just a concept, it is something that families must be able to see, feel and experience. And I haven't, due to the corruption of NOPD officer Victor Gant Jr.” Scott continued, “I'm demanding that the city should have a Civilian Police Accountability Council so families like mine can get the proper justice.”

Committee Chairman Freddie King III justified the repeated silencing of community members by saying that the comments on policy, racial discrimination and Gant's abuse of power were not germane to the self-congratulatory progress reports being presented by the city departments.

Twice during the meeting, King left the council chambers and signaled to NOPD officers to physically remove Shanta Scott for her comments. Both times, activists in the New Orleans Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NOAARPR) stood by her and demanded that she be heard. When NOAARPR chair Toni Jones objected to the second threat to remove Scott, Jones was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace and city council.

After the arrest, activists called the Orleans Parish Jail and the city attorney. Toni Jones was released within hours. A press conference was immediately held upon release and those gathered representing NOAARPR, Jace's family, and supporting organizations demanded that the charges be dropped, Victor Gant Jr. be fired and charged, and a Civilian Police Accountability Council be established.

The family will be at the next criminal justice committee hearing on April 27.

It was much slower than I usually go due to a lot of wind, some "barely a path" roads along the way, the bike being a citybike meant for daily shopping, as well as the fact that I was carrying 50kg (110lbs) of luggage on my back the whole way 😄

Excuses for being a slowpoke aside, it was a good challenge for my general health and fitness journey, and a very pleasant ride 😁

Algae blooms make a pond's surface shine in mesmerizing green hues. But if the microorganisms responsible are cyanobacteria, they can also release toxins that harm humans and wildlife alike. A team reporting in ACS ES&T Water has designed a "set it and forget it" system for distributing algaecide using specialized buoys tethered at the site of a bloom. In tests, the buoys removed nearly all cyanobacteria without the need for frequent reapplication.

In the long arc of conservation, recovery is often slow enough to be mistaken for stasis. Populations dwindle, habitats shrink, and the work of reversal depends less on moments of triumph than on decades of patient observation, persuasion, and persistence. Progress is recorded not in headlines but in ledgers: nests counted, territories mapped, landowners convinced, protections negotiated. For much of the late 20th century along the rivers and marshes of the Chesapeake Bay, that work took place in small planes flying low over rivers and marshes or on foot through stretches of shoreline that were steadily giving way to development. By the time bald eagles began to return in visible numbers, their recovery was already the product of many such accumulated efforts. The ban on DDT and the framework of the Endangered Species Act created the conditions for resurgence. But translating those conditions into viable populations required sustained attention to where birds lived, nested, and fed—and to the human pressures that continued to erode those places. Mitchell A. Byrd was among those who devoted a career to that task. Over more than half a century, much of it at the College of William & Mary, he became closely associated with efforts to monitor and restore bird populations in Virginia and the wider Chesapeake region. He was widely credited with helping to bring the bald eagle back from the edge of disappearance in the state, though he was inclined to deflect such claims, attributing recovery to broader forces while emphasizing the…This article was originally published on Mongabay
