comments of the day:

• turkey on the edge. a period of great uncertainty looms for turkey after recep erdogan narrowly wins a referendum to expand his presidential powers.
• scales of turkish “justice”. turkish judges have been instructed to start clearing a backlog of cases involving thousands arrested during last year’s failed coup. this follows yesterdays referendum result granting president erdogan sweeping new powers including a possible return to the death penalty

Won’t Somebody Think Of The Children? Inspired by this smarmy tweet by US House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in support of the bombing of Syria: . https://twitter.com/NancyPelosi/status/850478908675956736 . Is there any chance Ms. Pelosi gave any thought to the children of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Gaza, and everywhere else the US has slaughtered children — either directly or by proxy — in the past 20 or 30 years? Any chance she thought of the thousands of black youth murdered by US police in the past 20, 25 years? Nahh, not a chance in hell, are you kidding?
