I’ve finally made it from “the bad place”.
Still have to go there to see what the Texas gop is up to because it’s always no good.

When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?

This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad.
Or wasn't, until now.

The story about Trump ordering the removal of references to slavery from national Parks is being censored on here by the moderation service because it wrongly labeled the photo of an enslaved person with scars from being whipped on their back as "self harm."

While the message is admirable, they need to take the one step they have not yet:

It’s telling that it’s mainly cis, straight, able-bodied people crying, “How dare someone lose their life over politics!” That reaction shows they’ve never had skin in the game. For them, politics is abstract. For the rest of us, politics is survival—how we navigate the world just to stay alive.

Siri what is a mistrial
Kash Patel now says there’s a manifesto in the Kirk shooting, but it was destroyed, but the FBI can prove it existed using forensic evidence. So Kash wants to reproduce a manifesto that doesn’t exist to reveal the motives of the shooter. Got it.
