Let me get this straight: we trained this guy to be an elite killer, abandoned his country to the Taliban, isolated him, arbitrarily banned him from working and so left his family unsupported.
I don’t know if there’s any more efficient way of producing a mental health crisis outside of torture.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.
This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

Keep in mind that there is a lot of illegitimate traffic here and elsewhere when we’ve had a big win.
Today the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed the Senate unanimously and the House with but one down vote.
Texas maps also got thrown out.
Don’t fall for the naysaying.

Going through all these communications between Bannon and Epstein and it is CRAZY how much of the communications strategy to shore up Trump in the face of the Putin allegations, Mueller, Stormy Daniels, prosecution of Trump Co., were engineered behind the scenes with Epstein's involvement.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

one of the key aspects of fascism is the normalization of cruelty
Think about how numb everyone has to be for this type of thing to be remotely normal. Is this not a war crime?

The Trump administration doesn’t know if the people in this boat committed a crime
Didn’t arrest them
Never indicted them, conducted a trial, proved their guilt or-if they were actually convicted-argued over their sentence
No-they simply killed them
Then broadcast the murder on social media
