Unless you were a corrupt politician whose aim was self-enrichment by looting the country, in which case you may be reassured that you are on the right track

Would there be any reason for the Greens to not extend an invitation to her?

OTOH, this is Newsweek. Take it with a grain of salt, pending confirmation from a more credible source.
If he does end up in The Hague, the IDF raid to free him will turn out to have been conducted with extensive UK assistance.
If they don’t say definitively that they’re not, then they’ve at least left the option open to do so when the profit motive demands it.
Also the cover of the least street R&B album of 1991
That’s rather careless of them
Fucking hipsters
It was only called austerity in contrast to the previous vaguely social-democratic settlement. After a decade or two, it’s just the way things are. The Tories themselves announced the end of austerity a few years ago, without changing a single policy.
The frightening realisation to take away is that most people don’t have a visceral horror of fascism in the way that progressives on Mastodon do. Which makes sense: if fascism was regarded with widespread revulsion, the Trumps and Orbans and Netanyahus of this world would be as successful as someone running a dogshit sandwich stall at the local market.
From what I understand, it’s slow because along much of the route it uses legacy rights of way with level crossings. Brightline West will have all new grade-separated right of way, which will allow higher speeds.
Is it the case that the US fundamentally can’t do what, say, Spain and South Korea and Algeria have been able to, and that they have been able to do with, say, NASA, the military and numerous private corporate logistics systems, or just that they haven’t done it yet?
Once the US has one working world-class HSR line (probably Brightline West, or possibly CAHSR), the appetite for more lines will increase. HSR will have become something that is common for Americans to ride when not on holiday to Japan or Italian hilltop towns, and reflexively dismissing it as “it wouldn’t work here because we have too much (space/liberty/big cars)” won’t work anymore. New plans will be proposed (a midwest network connecting Chicago to Cleveland and St. Louis?) and old ones (such as the Texas one) dusted off. And the Canadians will notice and jump on the bandwagon (given that a big chunk of their population would be reached by a line from Detroit/Windsor to Quebec City makes it a no-brainer).
That and porcelain scottie dogs and such
Living by the old Australian credo, “she’ll be right, mate”
As Jamie Zawinski put it, it’s like a non-profit animal shelter setting up a sideline selling kitten meat to satisfy demands for hockey-stick growth. If somebody castigates them for it, they can point out that the demand for kitten deli slices didn’t going to go away, and if they didn’t sell them, someone else would step in and do it less humanely.
The immovable object of Stolen Valor meets the irresistible force of It’s OK If You’re A Conservative
The eagles of liberty fly together
Meanwhile, Brexit remains the Will Of The People, with both major parties absolutely ruling out any reversal as not to betray the robust, unvarnished opinions of true Brits like Barry the football-loving squaddie from Southampton whose Twitter account is now either a big-haired homeschooling mom from Missouri or the social media officer of Palestinians For Trump.
