I re-read the 2017 Trump I National Security Strategy and the differences to the 2025 strategy are really striking. This reads like a document from different times

At least one other boat, the one with the Colombian fisherman, was adrift and displaying a distress signal with its engine out of the water. To attack a disabled vessel in distress and signaling for assistance is basically in the same category as killing shipwrecked survivors clinging to wreckage.

So many of our supposed free thinkers cannot live without endless validation and shift towards anyone who provides it, even if it comes from criminals, white supremacists, fascists, or conspiracy theorists. They desperately crave the approval of others, and it overwhelms any inner creed they have.
Ugh - @ryangrim.bsky.social playing footsies with Steve Bannon.
I considered Grim a friend for many years but increasingly he’s been seeking validation from the right

This really lays bare how absurd the manufactured war theory is:
A shipwrecked survivor of a Hellfire missile strike on his small burning vessel is supposed to do... what, exactly, to show he is not "in the fight"?
When there is no war, applying the law of war is an exercise in absurdity.

One reason: In mainstream political journalism, your bosses reward you for coming off as dry, unsurprisable, immune to alarm. "Everybody needs to calm down" is a signal to them that you are not volatile, and thus not prone to bad judgment. This is exactly what should not be rewarded right now. >

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.
