This is happening again all over the world.
Idiots who think the Nazis won't come for them next, who doesn't have an ounce of empathy, compassion nor rational thinking capacity.
And yes: those are STILL called Nazis.

The only “peace plan” that makes sense is the one from Sanna Marin, Finland’s former Prime Minister:

“The way out of the conflict is for Russia to leave Ukraine. That is the way out of the conflict.”

Nov. 19, 1775: Gen. Washington writes to Congress warning that their recent decision to raise two battalions of Marines will “entirely derange” his Army if the officers and men are taken from there. He urges recruitment be done in Philadelphia so as not to cannibalize his strength in Massachusetts.

The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost 50 years ago today — around the time Gordon Lightfoot was at work on a new album.

An experienced Great Lakes sailor who knew those waters well, he later told NPR he was surprised that media coverage gave “short shrift for such a monumental event.”

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

It's a great day to remember the greatest song of the GWOT.
Absolutely. The greatest artist of the GWOT is this fellow: who as a songwriter/singer deserves more than T-Swift has earned in a thousand lifetimes.

The uncomfortable truth is that all of our democratic institutions needs to be remade and reimagined and many of the assumptions made about who needs to serve and for how long needs to be reimagined as well.

The composer of the ‘Das Boot’ movie soundtrack has died aged 89 on October 16th.

For us who grew up in the 1980s in West Germany, Das Boot was one of the defining movies of that era. Its haunting soundtrack must have been the first album that I owned.

🕯️ R.I.P. Klaus Doldinger (1936-2025).
