After Cannes, Nice is targeted by electrical sabotage.

An electrical transformer was set on fire in what appears to be an act of vandalism.

Some 45,000 homes were temporarily without power in Nice and some neighbouring towns.

Power was restored by early Sunday morning.

Well that didn’t take long. I’m agitated and furious again.

Looking through my feeds, what I’ve seen emerge of late is headlines featuring ‘the starvation of children in Gaza‘。 Where the fuck have you （#journalists #AustralianMedia） been for the last two years？ #Kids have been starving to death in #Gaza （and other places - but especially Gaza） on a massive scale due to #Israeli #genocidal #military actions for quite some time. now。

Not that I want anyone to stop stating the obvious here， but why hasn’t this been splashed all over mastheads EVERY SINGLE DAY since the carpet bombing started？ Maybe if that had been the case， we might have stopped the genocide by now due to global outrage such headlines engender。

It‘s so upsetting to witness the manipulation of complete populations by grifting media autocrats to nefarious and selfish ends. It really takes a smack to the face for #CorporateMedia for them to publish anything that does not further their agenda。 And I’ll bet headlines about the absolute horrors perpetrated in Gaza and the West Bank wouldn’t be published by these right-wing propaganda machines if there wasn’t a $ in it them in terms of audience (the sensationalism, the appeal to emotions, all the usual suspects except for ‘informing the public’ on what is really going on).

/end_of_rant. Thinking about all of the #atrocities being committed worldwide in the name of #power and #wealth.

US District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco will hold a hearing at 10:30AM PT (1:30PM ET/1730 GMT) in a lawsuit arguing that #Trump does not have the #power to downsize & restructure #FederalAgencies without the consent of the US #Congress.

Illston agreed on May 9 & blocked about 20 agencies from implementing #MassLayoffs for 2 weeks, while requiring the reinstatement of workers who had already lost their jobs.
