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.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

More Evidence Submitted to Dismiss the Charges Against Kilmar Abrego
Friday night, we learned that the DOJ lied about the door being closed to Costa Rica. Mr. Abrego's lawyers feel that's enough to immediately dismiss on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds.

Our president always just wanted the cool kids to like him. That’s what happened with Mamdani today in the Oval.
It’s utterly predictable and so easy to exploit. Bravo to Mamdani for playing him like a fiddle.

He’s comparing healthcare to home insurance.
Saying the “healthy” should be rewarded.
It’s eugenics.

You know how a hurricane can destroy your home no matter how many “safeguards” you had?
That’s chronic illness.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

It took a year of intensive therapy to be able to do things like drive & read after my last COVID infection. I’m terrified of getting COVID again & still mask. In the backlash to COVID public health mandates and public protests, places are criminalizing mask-wearing.

Just heard on the radio that 30-40% of Americans approve of rising authoritarianism.
I’d like to know if there was a follow up question that asked them what authoritarianism means. 😳
