The Night Raids CIA-backed operations killed countless Afghan civilians, and the U.S. hasn't been held accountable. A reporter returns to investigate her past and unravel the legacy of the secretive Zero Units.

What were the CIA-backed "Zero Units" in Afghanistan?

For a deep dive, read reporter Lynzy Billing's award-winning piece from 2022:

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

“We’re going to hold them fairly to account, and by that we mean we’ll use the propaganda term they invented and not the legal name for the department. In short, MAGA.”

As usual, creating a sitch that only he can fix. He's a dangerous nutjob.

Donald Trump, complaining that a woman wouldn’t do as she’s told

Meanwhile your other link shows Trump saying about undocumented agricultural workers, "These people can't be replaced very easily". Apparently someone has not told that to Rollins yet.

They are all a bunch of ninnys.

I genuinely don’t know if they’re this dumb or pretending to be this dumb because Trump is this dumb.

Hulk Hogan Was a Racist, Liar, and Scab In the 1980s, the professional wrestler portrayed himself as an all-American hero—but he was really a “jabroni” the entire time.

Barack Obama isn’t going to prison.
He doesn’t have 34 felony convictions.
He wasn’t found liable for sexual assault in court.
He never tried to overthrow the government.
And he’s not hiding the Epstein files.

If any of that rings a bell, DJT, it should.

I wish people would stop blaming God or pointing to God as an answer to get through horrifying ordeals when the accountability of said tragedies rests solely upon the shoulders of human--but not humane--individuals who created and supported the evil policies that allowed them to happen.

Tried a watercolor tutorial/challenge by Kolbie Blume. Their calm low-stress teaching style works well for me. Pretty happy with the result. #watercolor

Thank you for sharing this.. I just ordered her book because of your painting! I need to try something new.

Cuts to every social program, eliminating entire federal agencies, deporting hard working people wo are missing a simple piece of paper.. why? To give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy.
Billions for bombs? Sure no problem.. and still tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.
Greatest nation on earth? Fuck this.

So just to be clear: we are potentially entering/starting world war three, and the president is not currently speaking to the secretary of defense or the director of intelligence

Trump needs to be removed from office. This is destabilizing the entire world.

He is either a) causing panic in a city of 10 million for no reason, b) preparing to launch a nuclear attack or c) divulging an ally's intent to launch a nuclear attack.

None of this acceptable.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This right here y’all

I feel like we’re all in the middle of a 14-year social experiment on subjecting an entire society to political trauma and PTSD.

Every single foreign student at Harvard and every other US institution had to get a visa which required them to specify the school, and is tracked in a DHS system called SEVIS by their school.

It's like saying "Europeans killed other Europeans in *insert European war* - they deserved it!"

I don't know why this flawed logic wasn't shut down decades ago. It feeds into the racist idea that people of African descent MUST be perfect in order to attain humanity... & then, only conditionally.

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!”

ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

None of what he's saying makes any sense. It's just pure gibberish from a profoundly addled mind. This flargle-blargle isn't going to help consumer confidence. Or anything.

(a) Men admire, and want to be admired by, other men.
(b) Men want a relationship with a woman.

MAGAs refuse to see that their difficulty with (b) is caused by (a) "who" they admire/emulate. It's easier to get angry and blame women instead of finding better quality men to admire

i.e. every single person down there now is being held unlawfully based on an illegitimate construction of the AEA. It's as if they just rounded people up and used the authority "I said so." It's an unbelievable mess now that, if it hold ups (and I think it will), is Admin's responsibility to remedy

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months
