“Israel said it deported on Monday campaigner Greta Thunberg and another 170 activists from an international flotilla it prevented last week from delivering aid to Gaza, sending them to Greece and Slovakia. Earlier, Swiss and Spanish activists from the flotilla said they were subjected to inhumane conditions during their [abduction] by Israeli [pirates]. Monday’s expulsions brought the total number deported to 341, from 479 detained.” (10/06/25)

“President Trump’s 20-point plan offers some constructive proposals on hostages, humanitarian aid, and reconstruction. Yet it is marred by an unmistakable colonial framework: Gaza is to be overseen by Trump himself, with Tony Blair and other outsiders cast as trustees for Palestinian governance — while Palestinian statehood is deferred indefinitely. This logic is not new. It reprises the century-long Anglo-American approach to Palestine since the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, when Britain acquired the Mandate over Palestine, and through successive U.S. interventions, direct and indirect, in the region since 1945. A real peace plan must eliminate the colonial scaffolding.” (10/06/25)

“The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal of the criminal conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein. The court’s action ends Ms. Maxwell’s attempt to overturn her conviction, meaning her only chance of an early release from prison is likely to be clemency from President Trump, with whom she used to socialize in the Florida and New York party scenes. Ms. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2021 on federal charges related to facilitating the crimes of Mr. Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. Federal prosecutors have opposed her release.” (10/06/25)

“Rather than viewing the environmental agenda as an obstacle to growth, it should be seen as a strategic alliance for development. Sustainability, when integrated into market logic, does not restrict, but expands, the possibilities for the enrichment of nations. Through innovation and economic openness, poor countries can adapt to climate change and thrive, transforming themselves into global providers of sustainable solutions.” (10/06/25)

“I love elk, but I confess that I use elk mating to develop a larger point: that rational decision making happens in a setting — mating battles — Darwinians might not expect. If elk have evolved even limited rational capacity, contrary to what many Darwinians presume, why not expect lower-order species, such as voles and even ants, to exhibit limited rationality? If my evolutionary perspective is accepted, Darwinian theory needs a revision to accommodate economic thinking. Rational decision making, dictated by scarcity constraints, can (at least marginally) divert species from their Darwinian evolutionary paths.” (10/06/25)

“The home of South Carolina Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein was set on fire after she had reportedly received death threats. State law enforcement is investigating the house fire on Edisto Beach which began at around 11:30 a.m. E.T. on Saturday, sources told local news outlet FITSNews. Goodstein was reportedly not at home at the time of the fire, but at least three members of her family, including her husband, former Democratic state senator Arnold Goodstein, and their son, have been hospitalized with serious injuries. … Law enforcement have not disclosed whether the fire is being investigated as an arson attack. … Last month, Goodstein had temporarily blocked the state’s election commission from releasing its voter files to the Department of Justice, a decision that was openly criticized by Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon and later reversed by the state Supreme Court.” (10/06/25)

“The president and his appointees are using the military to commit serious crimes. Unfortunately, they appear to have some willing executioners to do their dirty work. It doesn’t really matter why they are doing it or what they think those crimes will get them. The president is openly trampling on U.S. and international law and killing people because he feels like it.” (10/06/25)
