We can’t blame any nation for not trusting the United States under Trump.
I just hope they forgive us after he’s gone, quickly.

Yesterday played out exactly as many expected a cover-up. When 119 pages of grand jury documents are released entirely redacted, that goes far beyond protecting victims’ identities. A court ordered these records released, yet what the public received was effectively nothing.

“When the EEOC publicly calls out one specific racial and gender group for encouragement—rather than affirming equal access for all—it raises a fundamental question of legitimacy.” - Effenus Henderson
This is real. Note that the first response is from a neo-Nazi, to whom the EEOC chair politely and helpfully responds.

I think of Steve Kerr's (Warriors head coach) words during press conference after an earlier mass shooting. Raw and powerful.
(His father was murdered by gun violence when he was in college.)
Those in power just don't care.
Their compassion extends to the length of their arms.

Supporting the troops means protecting them from superiors who would have them commit murder and war crimes.
This is a fundamental duty not just of electeds, but of fellow citizens.

Imagine being a career officer in the chain of command on Trump's boat bombings. You have deep moral and legal concerns about them. Your faith in leadership is shaky. Then you see Pete Hegseth tweet out a sadistic cartoon about it. Must be awful.
