The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?
Bari Weiss has a CBS town hall set with Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk.

If you want to attend, you're asked a series of questions on an online form.

The first question is: “Do you consider yourself a conservative? If so, why?”

The positive essence of Christianity is the humanity & that’s the part these people really want to skip. The compassion, sorrow, love, how we find divinity in service to each other, that’s what the whole thing is supposed to be about. They want it to be a list of rules and nothing else.

And they seem to have no interest in making one
The biggest question in American politics right now is that even if Democrats manage to reseize the federal government in 2028, there is no concrete plan about what to do with the Republican Party that has made illiberalism and authoritarianism the foundation of its movement for the last decade.

You all know the US isn't going to recover, right?

Like, we might have some economic power, but the world actually needs to do everything it can to come together and stop us from ever having the influence we've had since WWII, ever again.

We're too broken to be trusted.

TLDR: Texas is empowering Any Random Motherfucker to sue abortion pill providers—from Big Pharma to a physician to Susan who happened to have an extra dose of mife in her van—and to win a 10K bounty for their troubles.

And if the plaintiff is related to the fetus, 100K.

Great day for abusers.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 2(2025, Tammi) **½
I don't know the games, so the mythology seems chaotic. The back hour & change is more of the same & the face-eating cupcake gets nothing to do.

Worth seeing as the first reel is OUTSTANDING, including an opening sequence that does a SCREAM 2 for kids.
