God help them. The slaughter to come is probably beyond our imagining

The pigs investigated themselves and guess what they found? What a sham Apartheid state Georgia is. Fucking disgusting.

White supremacists are out there organizing and threatening people every day.

Fascists are showing up with guns and threatening politicians.

Fascists are out there shooting people. Every day.

Traditionally, the Defense Department and defense industry think in big contracts for platforms that take years to design, build and manufacture and service. Taiclet, however, sees large defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin as a bridge from the subscription-based tech sector to the big-contract Pentagon acquisition process.

Australia will dispatch a fleet of new long-range helicopters, hi-tech drones and long-distance snow vehicles to Antarctica to counter increasing Chinese and Russian expansion across the southern icy continent. The near $1 billion (£530m) strategy is designed to strengthen Australia’s 42 per cent claim over Antarctica’s territory and protect against foreign moves to undermine the Antarctic Treaty signed more than 60 years ago. It comes amid growing concerns about China’s rapidly expanding presence on the continent, despite not being among the dozen countries that originally signed the treaty in 1959.

The Australian Antarctic Division did not have internal budgets and overspent $42m in one year before being forced to cancel or defer dozens of crucial climate science projects, including studies of record-low sea ice. The Greens have described the division’s admission as “shocking” during a Senate inquiry, triggered in part by Guardian Australia’s reports that budget pressure has stopped remediation work and research on melting glaciers, biodiversity and climate change. Several scientists told the inquiry they were frustrated their research had been repeatedly deferred.

This is the only natural consequence of allowing these to stand. If you live in Oakville or Edmonton, your cities host these.

An armed man demanding to speak to the Wisconsin governor was arrested in the state capitol, posted bail, and returned - only to be arrested again.

The shirtless man, who has not yet been identified, was taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon for illegally carrying a firearm in the building.

But he posted bail and returned that evening with an assault-style rifle.

Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat, was not in his capitol office at the time, according to a spokeswoman.

The man, who was carrying a holstered handgun, approached the office around 15:00 EST (19:00 GMT) on Wednesday and demanded to see Mr Evers.

Citing police, the Washington Post reported he had a leashed dog with him and had appeared at the security desk outside the governor's office.

A single police officer sits at the desk on the building's first floor, which also houses a conference room and offices for the attorney general.

Weapons can be brought into the building if they are concealed and the carrier holds a valid permit. The man did not have a permit and was arrested by capitol police.

But after being booked into the local Dane County Jail, he posted bail and returned again to the capitol grounds just before 22:00 EST carrying a loaded automatic rifle. The building closes at 19:00 EST.

Officers spoke with him, asked to search his backpack and found a police baton, again in violation of the concealed weapons permit law, the Post said.

The would-be assailant had been taken into custody a second time on Wednesday night for a psychiatric evaluation, Tatyana Warrick, a Wisconsin Department of Administration spokeswoman, told the BBC. Ms Warrick could not confirm if he remained in custody.

Police for the city of Madison said in a police report: "The subject was taken into protective custody and conveyed to a local hospital."

The governor's office and Dane County officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

Public and elected officials across the US currently face a rising number of threats in violence.

The incident comes more than a year after Mr Evers appeared on the hit list of a gunman previously accused of zip-tying and fatally shooting a retired county judge at his Wisconsin home.

The hit list with Mr Evers' name on it also included those of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Wisconsin's Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer, the target of a kidnapping plot in 2020.

Eleven antiwar protesters were arrested Wednesday after they occupied the office of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Capitol Hill to demand the senator support efforts at diplomacy over sending further U.S. aid, such as weapons, to Ukraine.

Capitol Police arrested the 11 people inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building under a D.C. code that prohibits crowding, obstructing or incommoding, a Capitol Police spokesperson said. The code is often cited when arresting protesters during peaceful planned acts of civil disobedience.

The protesters, who were with the antiwar group Code Pink, were advocating for Ukrainian, Russian and U.S. leadership to negotiate an end to the war, the group said in a news release.

“Yes, Bernie should condemn the Russian invasion, but he should also be calling for a negotiated end to this brutal war,” Crystal Zevon, from Barnet, Vt., said in the news release.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Washington has pledged more than $46 billion in military, humanitarian and financial assistance to Ukraine.

A spokesperson for Sanders said the senator’s chief of staff, foreign policy adviser and Vermont state director met with Vermonters who were concerned about the war. In a Wednesday letter to the Vermont Peace Anti-War Coalition, Sanders said he shares a “dedication to peace” and “hope for a peaceful resolution as soon as possible.”

“The U.S. should support a just peace in Ukraine, based on the principles of territorial integrity, sovereignty, and international law,” Sanders wrote in the letter.
