The only two things I am sure about in life:
1) Life is a team sport, so be a good team player so you can play on a good team.
2) Life is weird, and then it gets weirder.

Prepping year end & many cities are recording historic lows in murders in 2025. Through November, Detroit (fewest since 1964), Baltimore (1962), Philadelphia (1966), Oakland (1967), & San Francisco (likely since at least 1942). Additionally, New Orleans is on pace for the fewest murders since 1970.

"And if not, definitely, 2027. And we expect 2028 to be a killer year. 2029, perhaps a little dip. 2030—gangbusters, and just you wait until 2031. You can take that to the bank."

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Really appreciate the clarity of the president saying black people are ruining the country and this entire room of groveling empty suits saying nothing bsky.app/profile/just...
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

5/7 Trump should not even be involved in these talks.

The US pays almost nothing while Europe funds nearly all Ukraine aid.

7/7 Europe must act.

Release Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine. It secures Ukraine, gives leverage, and makes Trump irrelevant.

The thing is that the war only has two directions. Either Russia wins or it disappears. Why am I so certain? Think about Russia losing, it's home front or armed forces starts to crack. What will happen to Russian society then? What glue of values or repression will keep it together then?
The only real solution of Europe's security challenge is the unconditional surrender and dissolution of the Russian Federation. Any other outcome will ensure continued conflict.

America does not have capital punishment for selling or smuggling drugs and none of these people were arrested or tried. There could have been mountains of cocaine in open view on the deck of the boats and it still would have been murder of unarmed civilians.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Devastating. Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder. "It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity." www.alternet.org/trump-destro...
