“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

Hey, I'm nearly her age and we all grew up yelling at mfers.
I know this is the website where basically no one watches cable but there's this DHS ad with Kristi Noem telling people to self-deport and it's reached the point where my 75 year old mother yells obscenities at the TV that I usually see typed out in League of Legends lobbies

She reminds me of the legend of the colibri (hummingbird) trying to put out the forest fire. "I'm doing what I can".
Take the time to watch her youtube channel videos of her speeches at the Unicameral. This is a genuine good person.
“The reason we have the problems we have in this country, whether we’re talking about Congress or we’re talking about city council,” said Megan Hunt, the trailblazing member of the Nebraska State Legislature, “is because good people don’t run.”

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.

We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

Such a great movie!
Any Local Hero fans remember the scene where Burt Lancaster falls asleep in a meeting and it goes on with everyone whispering. Can’t imagine what reminded me of that today.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

President Hernandez was responsible for smuggling 500 TONS of cocaine into the United States! He was the top dog; the Pablo Escobar figure! He wasn’t just “selling drugs in that country.”
Reporter: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US—

Trump: Right

Reporter: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?

Trump: If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

He's insane.
Pardoning a drug kingpin who said he would "shove the drugs up the gringos' noses," while making up stories about fentenyl smuggling from a country that doesn't smuggle fenenyl.

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

Lots of people are going to die.
