Obviously finding Sigrid Nunez's work was a major highlight of the year!

Pentagon Pete in Legal Peril Over β€˜Kill Them All’ Orders A follow-up missile allegedly killed survivors of a U.S. strike on a drug boat.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.

The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.

Dust-Licking Pimps Mark Twain and Quincy and Immigration

Last year, I had hope that we would make progress. This year I hope we won’t devolve into an autocratic police state. I hope I have healthcare. I hope my kids can afford to buy groceries. I hope my neighbor isn’t deported.

I have hope. I am also paying attention. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
