Proof that the demented Biden's quip about releasing Assange was just electioneering posturing.
Oh look - the Central Idiot Agency covering up their asses.

Quote of the day - 04-15-2024.
From Scott Ritter -A reminder about the missiles of April ...
"The Iranian missile attack on Israel did not come out of the blue, so to speak, but rather was retaliation for an April 1 Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate building, in Damascus, Syria, that killed several senior Iranian military commanders.
While Israel has carried out attacks against Iranian personnel inside Syria in the past, the April 1 strike differed by not only killing very senior Iranian personnel, but by striking what was legally speaking sovereign Iranian territory — the Iranian consulate."
Remind the narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths who continue to defend the settler-colonial project known as Israel - that facts matter.

Not sure what exactly the implications would mean for the future, but only time will tell.
Four years ago, a group of women, aged 64 and up, filed a lawsuit before Europe’s top human rights court against Switzerland for violating their rights by not protecting them from the health impacts of climate change.
On Tuesday, the court decided in their favor, marking the first time an international court has ruled on governments’ legal obligations regarding climate change.
“It is clear that future generations are likely to bear an increasingly severe burden of the consequences of present failures and omissions to combat climate change,” said Siofra O’Leary, president of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, following the verdict, which cannot be appealed.

Given all of this, I do wonder what the 1% here in the US is gaining.
Other than just accelerating the collapse of the current global crapitalist system (presumably to then reorganize it into a more fascist one):
