It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Anytime you encounter this in the wild, just reply "so?"
The only reason anyone would care if white people "went extinct" (and, Christ, get a grip) would be if they thought white people were inherently superior for some reason. Make them say that with their whole chest.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

If you are a voter in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District and also a fan of The Wire, I will, on evidence you voted today, pen a personal apology for having killed any character you cared for.
And yes, this assumes Wire fans do not vote for some cheese-eating supplicant to any tinpot dictator.

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

So when Trump and RFK Jr. talk about autism numbers exploding, they reveal that they do not know what they are talking about. Pre-1990s numbers about autism are oranges and they are comparing it to apples.
