I love it when people post a picture of some regular guy to reddit and say “what breed is my cat?”

GANDALF: Can you see anything?
FRODO: There's nothing…Wait. There are markings. It's some form of Elvish. I can't read it.
GANDALF: There are few who can. The language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. In the common tongue it says, "Light the lamp, not the rat."

Drugs are not weapons.
Drug traffickers are not terrorists.
The US wasn't attacked.
Boats on open water far from US coasts aren't a security threat.
There is absolutely no argument for self-defense in Caribbean boat strikes, nor in possible war with Venezuela.
This campaign is lies upon lies.

This is fundamentally the wrong way to deal with drug problems.

The White House's lies about the illegal Caribbean boat strikes are so obvious and about such serious matters that they're floundering.
As @gregsargent.bsky.social and @jenrubin.bsky.social explain, specific strikes are criminal, but even more so, the entire campaign is blatantly illegal and wrong.

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season
