It certainly is, but this is also a possible source - the sculpture "Thoughts and Desires" in Ariana Park at the UN Palace of Nations in Geneva. (I suspect the sculptor will soon be getting some phone calls asking where HE got the idea from....) az-art.gallery/en/mammadov-...

The RFK/Trump Vaccine policy isn’t about “choice.” If it were, they wouldn’t have removed the tool for finding vaccines.
And the bodily choice analogy is BS anyway. If I get an abortion, that doesn’t harm YOUR fetus.

This is why I think things will probably come to a head around midterms, because they'll just keep doubling down
They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.

One of the dilemmas of living through the second Trump administration is that saying these things out loud seems crazy. But yeah, the death penalty is an established, well-documented thing we have on the books for precisely these kinds of crimes; they obviously did it; and it's not hard to prove.
"the government should try, convict and then kill the secretary of defense for the crime he very obviously seems to have committed" seems like a radical thing to say, but -- no, it's not. it's the actual penalty for what pete hegseth, a man who ordered death squads to murder civilians, has done.
