NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Look, even if these attacks were completely legitimate acts of national defense (they aren't), treating the killing of people like it's entertainment, rather than a terrible but perhaps necessary evil, is depraved and sickening.

Anyone here with political aspirations, please take note. We live in an era, policy-wise where there is such a dearth of humanity that if you simply allow basic fundamental baby-brained levels of human decency to guide your policy it’s like 99% certain you’ll be goddamn Superman to the average voter

Agreed. And unless proven otherwise, every Democrat in Congress supports this happening to undocumented people, which is no less of an outrageous injustice.

Donald Trump is a rapist, a pedophile, a criminal, and an insurrectionist. He is trying to overturn the constitution and take our freedom. He is one of the worst Americans in all of history.

Americans like @ilhanmn.bsky.social are what make this country worth fighting for.
The president fails to realize how deeply Somali Americans love this country.

We are doctors, teachers, and elected leaders working to make our country better.

We will not let Trump intimidate or debilitate us. My op-ed:

I guess what I'm saying is, for all the theatrical cruelty & dumbassery you see on your screens every day, there is 10X that amount of damage being done behind the scenes. Simply getting these fucks out of office won't fix all this -- repair will take many decades.

Parts of the federal gov't that most people never think about -- research orgs, safety regs, low-income programs, etc. -- are being degraded & destroyed, with no one to notice or mourn them. But every bit of it erodes the foundations of US power & prosperity, carefully laid over decades.

One thing about the Biden admin. is that, two or three levels down, there were tons of smart, focused, pro-social people doing great things that never rose to the level of a headline.

Conversely, an enormous amount of the damage Trumpies are doing never makes the news.

Many of the people detained at the facilities have been arbitrarily rounded up by immigration agents, with a majority of the roughly 1,000 people being held at Alligator Alcatraz having been convicted of no criminal offense as of July.

Some of the treatment amounts to torture, the report says, including Alligator Alcatraz’s use of “the box” — a 2×2 foot “cage-like structure people are put in as punishment” — which inmates have been placed in for hours at a time with their hands and feet attached to restraints on the ground.

This bloodthirsty, crazed assessment from Sen. Tom Cotton trying to excuse war crimes pairs nicely with all the denunciation of people who took issue with Cotton calling for no quarter against BLM protesters in 2020.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."
