I don't think the U.S. military ever gave up the My Lai Massacre mindset.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.

This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

I mean, one side is overtly evil. So even though the other side often sucks, we vote for it anyhow, because in the cold math of politics a limp noodle that only votes in favor of egregious abuses of power 50% of the time is better than voting for the evil guy who votes pro-abuse 100% of the time.

Shills and hucksters have always existed. The only things that have changed about the job are the technology and the job title.

Hang on hang on, I knew we were at mass surveillance because SCOTUS doesn't care about the 4th Amendment anymore, but I hadn't fully grasped that lethal source can now be used by AI with no oversight or legal culpability.

I may need to sit with that one for a minute.

Thank you bibisco and fuck you very much Google Drive.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

just fwiw, here are the arguments being made, in order:

1. iran has apologized to its neighbors and admitted it lost
2. this is unprecedented and because of me
3. iran has not surrendered and will collapse if it doesn’t admit it lost
4. i am going to bomb iran more and worse until it surrenders

CBP appears to be holding a US CITIZEN at the Dodge County, WI jail. They held her for 30 hours at O'Hare, sent her to Broadview (denying the whole time that they had her in custody), and now her phone is pinging from the Dodge Co., WI jail.

Don't shun people just because they have different beliefs about blotting out the sun to usher in a new age of eternal darkness. We have to find an answer in the middle.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

in advance of tomorrow's scheduled announcement of Noem's future organization, I'm just gonna leave this right here.

I'm sure "shield of the americas" won't be intended as a pan-american union for security and cooperation that's actually a propaganda tool and way to enforce US hegemony like GEACPS.

The bombings will continue until equality improves.

Dang, instead of the whole civil rights movement, we could've just bombed some people - and avoided Jim Crow, too!

...so you support mass-murdering people, including little kids, because their entrenched political leaders implemented and enabled bigoted policies?

Justice Department: witness’s files were initially withheld because they were mistakenly characterized as β€œduplicates.”

Right. The ones with Trump accused of assaulting a child just happened to be the ones.

Who could have imagined that starting a regional war in the region that the good oil comes from would make it more expensive to get the oil.

Even if it's all just business to you and you don't care about the impact on human beings and our shared planet it's πŸ‘ still πŸ‘ not πŸ‘ profitable.

Even if you don't care about environmental impact, think energy prices will level out, don't care about IP, and think deep fakes are neat, even if you're a total Ferengi-hearted slimeball...

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
