Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 Pete

Trump’s Unauthorized War The Constitution grants Congress, not the president, the power to mobilize the military—and for good reason.

“Democracy allows people the freedom to make stupid decisions, so long as they make them collectively. But a system that allows a country to be dragged into war at the whims of a single person is not much of a democracy at all.”

I once saved a Rembrandt painting from getting a hole punched through it.

EKG and troponin.

These fucking cretins, man. It’s cliche and not new and it’s not some piercing insight I know. But just… I hate them with the heat of a nova, I really do. It’s just fucking disheartening.

forever and ever, fuck em man.

I don’t know how to market the message that treating killing like a game is bad to persuadables worried about tarriff policy and the economy.

Some things are just bad and wrong and the truth has to be enough.

I can’t spin it so it’s palatable. People who do what this video is doing are unfit.

January 31st, 2012. We called in A-10s. Killed four Taliban. I remember the bodies. Teenagers. Twisted wrecked flesh

Making killing a video game isn’t just obscene. It’s a lie. It papers over what violence is and what it does to the human body, and to our soul. Truth is always the first casualty.

YouTube video by Tom Waits Tom Waits - "Day After Tomorrow" (Remastered)

They fill us full of lies, everyone buys
about what it means to
Be a soldier.
I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
about all the blood that's been spilled
Will God on this throne
Get me back home
On the day after tomorrow

We know what it looks like when the infrastructure for care isn’t ready when those who fought the war come home.

We cannot let it happen again. Now is the time to be investing in the VA, not cutting jobs for providers and slashing the budget to pay for private jets and kickbacks on ad campaigns.

Embrace Harry Truman thought

Hey, my boss is on my ass on this. I just want to figure out what happened so we can close the book on this and get home.

Why do they answer the phone? How? Is it magic? Is there a potion or spell?

Oh good, I was worried this time we weren’t gonna find a way to fuck the Kurds over again.

The Department of War is the continuation of happy hour by other means

As a high schooler I remember, in the bad years in Iraq, PBS News Hour would end each night with the names of the fallen.

To say their names is to bear witness. To remember. And all wars are fought twice…

Pentagon identifies 4 soldiers killed by Iranian attack The four Army Reserve soldiers were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command based out of Des Moines, Iowa.

Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; and Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa

Honor the dead.

oh 'bridge, Mr. Colby Jack, what tangled webs we weave

I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo.

Look at that little guy go! 🔬🧪

fun fact: speaking of Mahan, did you know he was Episcopalian?

150 years later, meat falls from the sky again in this Kentucky county The Kentucky Meat Shower Festival was held over the weekend in Bath County, commemorating a strange occurrence in Kentucky.

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the 1876 Kentucky Meat Shower, a small plane dropped “1,876 mini meat-sticks” over the county this weekend. (Today is the actual anniversary, though.)

And people say we live in the worst possible timeline.

That’s incredible. What a world we live in. Genuinely. That’s insane. And we celebrate it to this day. God I love this country.

YES! That’s what I was thinking of.

I was gonna look it up but I bet there’s some folks of a certain age who could school me… there’s a famous tv bit about like a radio station and they are dropping like frozen turkeys or something and it becomes a real problem? This reminded me of that

As weird as it is, the marine corps just gets geeked up for war. They don’t much bring the Jesus. Don’t get me wrong there were some. But generally the marine corps was its own religion separate from Christianity. They see it as a chance to break stuff and that’s all they need.
