If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

I value freedom from other people’s religion, don’t you?
Again: Steering public dollars to private religious schools has always been the #1 goal of @GovBillLee and his fellow privatizers.

Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.

Pastor David Black was brutally shot by ICE w/pepper balls hitting him in the head & body. But he still returns w/other faith leaders to protest & to even pray for federal agents.
He talks about witnessing a “revival of faith” & how “democracy is not a spectator sport.”

Someone who once worked for this guy told me he was at a party where everyone was in one way or another, economically dependent upon him. Under those circumstances you don't get much pushback for dumb statements. When they do encounter that pushback, they think its wokeness that must be destroyed.

I... do not think of the NY Times as being "independent journalism" which implies smaller, outside the mainstream. The NYT is the most mainstream of mainstream news orgs.

The mainstream media press corps needs to stand together against Trump’s misogyny & sexism.
It also needs to collectively push back when the Orange Turd refuses to answer questions.

Sexual violence doesn’t care what political party a victim belongs to. It affects ALL. Boys, girls, men, women. From babies to seniors, Republicans, Democrats, Independents and the apolitical. The rise in teen girl being abused by their boyfriends is terrifying. This needs more focus.
Margaret, thank you for posting this. It is so important that victims KNOW they are not alone. The abuse is NOT their fault. It’s unfortunately more common than anyone thinks. I’m certain the mistreatment of the Epstein victims is triggering for many.

Could not be more contrary to American traditions. A gold-bedecked White House with a massive gilded ballroom and a government-created personality cult around the president complete with giant banners of his face on government buildings and official celebrations of his birthday.
When I saw the story in passing I thought it was the same dumb bit as the army parade, the fig leaf of using Flag Day because it happens to also be his birthday. But no, Trump's birthday as such is now an official commemoration for NPS free admission days.
