Trying to teach local mockingbirds Pet Shop Boys songs. I mostly keep my trap shut and try to promote others' voices.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

The longer this goes on, the more frustrated I get with people who act surprised.

NO! THEY ARE NOT TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS THEY SNATCH! THE ONLY PEOPLE STILL STICKING AROUND AT ICE AND CBP ARE THE ONES WHO ACTIVELY GET OFF ON ABUSING PEOPLE! THAT MUCH IS FUCKING OBVIOUS!

OTD in 1989 crowds of CIA sponsored fascists in pay of Soros stormed the Berlin Wall to begin an illegal, and very gay, annexation of East Germany.

If you want to know how things are going with this current administration:

US Army members are being advised by OUR government to go to food banks in Germany, run by Germany, to procure meals and food rations.

I'm damn glad my grandfather and retired Lieutenant Colonel in the USMC can't see this.

Like, this is insane from a β€œbasis of how nation states and governments work” point of view, not just β€œlol Trump II is wild”.

We’re getting to surreal levels of insults to the basic idea of the state. I don’t know what to do with this.

Filling the commissary with branded alcohol while service members go without pay and are encouraged to contact local food pantries is so fucking crazy.

I think democrats should push for a thorough review of all Elon Musk govt contracts as part of their 2026-8 portfolio. Why are taxpayers financing the work of a racist near-trillionaire? Leaving that unexamined was one of the biggest failures of the last Dem majority.

We’re about to live through a big cause/effect obfuscation where OpenAI will claim all these cases are just preexisting conditions coming into contact with their product, and not caused FROM interacting with their product. but I want to reemphasize the problem scope here

The guy who has refused to help war-torn Ukraine now wants to β€œprotect Christians” in Nigeria, says he is β€œrescuing” Argentina on behalf of the West, and is β€œcombating drug trafficking” in Venezuela.

What do all three countries have in common?

They all have abundant oil.
What a coincidence.

Supreme Court enters the lion's den on Trump tariffs The case has potentially profound economic consequences for the country and the presidency.

Are you listening to the tariff arguments at the supreme court? You should be. Our taxpayer funded solicitor general is arguing for an imperial presidency. Link to actual argument mid article.
