Of all the examples of people dying because somebody inexperienced was in charge, the biggest, most horrifying was Elon Musk and DOGE. No idea what AID did, didn’t care, blew it up and at least 600,000 people died unnecessarily as a consequence. Mass murder out of ignorance and bias. Thanks, Elon.
the very last person who should be prattling on about the dangers of inexperience is the grifting troglodyte who killed millions when he was put in charge of “efficiency”

DOJ official Todd Blanche promised to dump his crypto holdings no later than 90 days after his Senate confirmation in March.

But about a month into the job — before divesting — he ordered an end to investigations into crypto companies.

Yes, this ICE guy is a criminal, but do you want to know what the bigger crime is...

"Prosecutors said in court that police had responded to the apartment roughly 22 times in the previous year and a half..."

the "justice" system fails battered women.

That's the bigger crime.
Update. The ICE supervisor, who is 47, was arrested for domestic violence against his non-citizen partner who he started a relationship when she was 18 and he was 40.

NBC News actually published this: "While Trump’s peace plan appears to be holding, albeit with regular Israeli airstrikes, the crisis endures."

Just imagine NBC framing it this way if Hamas engaged in "regular strikes against Israel?"

This is how legacy media normalizes genocide & white supremacy.

I feel like the original 1982 Conan should have spawned a trend where every action hero has to explain what they think is best in life.

I want Batman, James Bond, Spider-Man, Blade, Jason Bourne and Lara Croft to be asked to expound their theory of human happiness.

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.

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”
