We are all passengers in Trump’s death cab The nihilism of the regime is its most terrifying attribute.

"In his egoism, Trump exhibits an overarching desire to squeeze the nation dry, including by converting as much of America’s wealth to himself regardless of the consequences. What Trump can’t take with him, he would just as soon ruin."

Wait, that kind of sounds like good policy though? At least based on the text, I can't watch the video at the moment so they might have said some BS I missed. When I didn't have a car, the only food I could get was from convenience stores and at the time there weren't *any* healthy options.

I'm starting to think I'm not going to make it through this. I'm a deeply empathetic person with severely disabling depression in a world that currently consists of the most horrific news imaginable breaking every two minutes in every facet of life. I feel like I can't breathe anymore.

Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies β€œthe rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp sawβ€”a medical saw, a bone sawβ€”and the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, [were] lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organ being taken.” Organ procurement, with few exceptions like skin and cornea, requires that the body be either aliveβ€”via brain deathβ€”or just-deadβ€”via circulatory death. It is plausible that some Palestinian prisoners’ torture led to brain death. It is also possible their torturers felt no need to wait. Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs. The transplant surgeon waits for a person to die; the soldier can’t. The settler surgeon wields his mastery over the body to serve the state. Here, the surgeon acts asβ€”isβ€”a soldier.

"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts asβ€”isβ€”a soldier."

I'm honestly speechless.

I saw someone on TikTok say that the brazen racists have a better understanding of what this country has always been than anyone on the left saying "this isn't who we are" and I think I've been in a catatonic state ever since. Because it's true.

I gotta say, "the Pentagon uses a high powered laser to shoot down a party balloon" feels like enough symbolism for awhile. all full up thanks

How do MLB workers protect Latin players from Trump's ICE raids? By themselves. Front office staffers told eyeblack about keeping immigrant players safe while league guidance is minimal and "Manfred kisses Trump's ass."

*new* from me:

As pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, three front office staffers spoke to me about helping Latino baseball players and their families navigate an America ravaged by ICE raids.

They say guidance from MLB has been β€œminimal” so their teams are getting creative.

Ironic to see a halftime show that is all about artistic accomplishment and humanity and then go back to ads for the bullshit grift machines during a game athletes have worked and sacrificed and trained their entire lives to play it.
