There have been some very bad developments today.

Oh.

β€œWe have agreed” β€” how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

This was NOT a war ship - this was an exhibition ship! This is terrible behavior on the part of the US government. SHAME.

Unless he’s driving the ships himself the only β€œbrave” thing he’s doing is sending other people into the line of fire to protect his bottom line.

I note in passing that there’s no dispute that the United States β€˜torture[s], rape[s] and murder[s]’ as a matter of policy. So that cannot be way Miller treats others as β€˜savages’. The salient features come down to race, nationality, and religion, again, no dispute on these points

I suppose with Miller the modern version is no longer modernising and civilising the β€˜savage’ through oppression, but obliterating them with bombs, since they would do the same to us, if they had a chance. We must act first. They are, after all, β€˜savages’

If Caroline Elkins’ book, Legacy of Violence, means anything, it’s that the practice of systemic, unspeakable violence comes draped in the language of Enlightenment values, which must be forced on the savages to make them human, like us. They will eventually appreciate our efforts at civilising them

And I can concede that it may be the preponderance of Western sources on BlueSky but I’m seeing a lot of reporting on European immigrants who are stuck in the Gulf. But there are thousands if not tens of thousands of ordinary people from the global majority who are especially stuck.

Wait…

Donald Trump tapped the only sitting Senator without a bachelor’s degree as DHS Secretary?

Markwayne Mullin dropped out of college and then went and got an associate’s over a decade later?

What could go wrong?

Panel reviewing Trump's White House ballroom project will vote on it April 2 A federal panel reviewing President Donald Trump's White House ballroom has set April 2 for a final vote on the project.

After receiving more than 32,000 negative public comments, the National Capital Planning Commission has delayed its final vote on Trump’s proposed $400 million ballroom. The commission moved the vote to its April 2 meeting next month.

The boycott of OpenAI(ChatGPT) has now surpassed 4 million. We’re also seeing many small businesses (and even some mid-sized companies) cancel their subscriptions. One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching consumers remind big corporations just how much power they have.

I’m still in disbelief that Capitol Police and a Republican senator broke the arm of a Marine in full dress uniform because he was voicing opposition to sending troops to Iran. Horrifying.

If we survive this shitshow, politicians cannot claim we don’t have money for universal healthcare

The billions of dollars stolen, wasted, & funneled to the plethora of inhumane, immoral & unconstitutional acts by this regime is incalculable

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

That’s the factual spine under the line β€œICE is un‑American and must be held accountable … from senior admin leaders to the thugs in the streets”: the violence isn’t a glitch; it’s built into how the agency is being used.
