The cruelty is the point

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 11h

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

I’m completely befuddled and disgusted that there are any supporters of a pastor who sexually abused anyone much less a 12 year old. Where are supporters of the victims? When pedophiles get a slap on the hand, forgiveness, they go back and reoffend. ‘God has forgiven him’ ? Not your place to say.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro says the last U.S. military strike in the Caribbean hit a Colombian boat with citizens aboard.

If Petro’s claim is accurate, it’s more than a diplomatic spat, it’s a potential international incident.

Citizens’ lives were at stake, and clarity is overdue. 👇

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

IT WAS ALL STAGED. IT WAS FAKE except for the one guy killed accidentally or maybe not, and then they killed the fake shooter. The shooter was not the person they said was the shooter. This entire thing was a sham.

Several CDC staff currently working on an Ebola outbreak overseas.

You know — the ones literally helping contain and prevent it from spreading. (Like, to the U.S.)

Trust us: dying from Ebola is a MISERABLE way to die.

Yay Covid and flu shots acquired!

Just walked into CVS here in Arizona; no questions about anything but “are you allergic”.

Took like 5 minutes. Get your shots.

I think something we don’t talk about all that much in “in order to get substantial health coverage increases beyond ACA type levels we probably have to screw over doctors by cutting their pay” is that I think a lot of people in the US are pretty attached to the mental idea *their doctors are rich*
