While we're all discussing how it's wrong to murder someone, let's not forget this:
Democrats are amplifying pressure on the Trump administration to produce evidence that last week’s military strike in the Caribbean Sea killed 11 drug smugglers, as lawmakers from both parties question the legal basis for the surprise use of force.
Democrats pressure Trump to show proof deadly boat strike was legal
The incident has frustrated lawmakers from both parties who’ve questioned why the administration has not publicly disclosed evidence to back up its claims.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Every day it breaks my heart to know that this level of misery is being inflicted on people, and that it's being done with American tax dollars that could be providing care for sick instead of slaughtering them.
Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care.

I will say it again.

I know way too many moms who had a child gunned down on a city street. But their child’s murder didn’t elicit a massive police or media response.

I know way too many moms whose children’s homicides remain unsolved. Who don’t get calls back from the police.

Then they see this.
seems a bit dramatic
