Notably, the several thousand Marines that Trump deployed to Los Angeles last year have, as far as I know, behaved in ways that ICE agents should aspire to, but are trained not to behave that way. Good on those Marines. (Again, as far as I know.)
I am neither a ghoul nor someone eager to believe that the US Armed Forces would mistreat POWs. I asked a question about who did the double-tap. I know that what we teach/indoctrinate our armed forces is humane and legal, to the extent that war can be considered humane and legal.
Which branch has been in charge of double-tapping boats to take out any survivors? Genuine question, since you specify Navy (I know you taught at the Naval War College). Dad and brother are Army vets; I have a lot of confidence in the military, but that double-tap... I don't know.
This is valid. That said, there were progressive/indie journos on the ground covering it yesterday who saw this happen and reported it here in real time. I think the basic framework in these documents is in line with what was being posted yesterday.
I feel like it probably is. My parents were defense contractors for a couple of decades, and the amount of hair splitting and documentation and legalese they *felt* like they experienced, at least, was intense. But maybe their problem was being ethical and striving to be diligent?
Seems like Trump found the most horrifying way to reintroduce electric car subsidies.
It's really not clear that brains are a requirement for consciousness. Somehow, mycelial networks in the forest floor "choose" to keep certain "dead" tree roots/stumps alive, sometimes for centuries, even though they receive nothing in exchange. Seems like "friendship" might be the reason.
What in the French Revolution is the White House doing?
Opened the app to see if Senator She/He has been arrested yet and it appears that our cursed era of elite impunity continues.
So excited about this spring’s tulip auction!
Aldi had similarly cute chairs for pets a few weeks ago for $44 and I still regret passing that up. Hopefully they come back soon.
Not mad about it.
Also, how many times have Kristi Noem, Tricia McLaughlin, Stephen Miller, et al issued demented statements about the need to kill Americans who are "impeding law enforcement operations?" Hey, I found one, ICE Barbie!
Clarifying: it was already butchered. I didn't butcher the rabbit. There are serious disconnects in the foodie community, which I am guilty of.
I moved from Atlanta at the end of 2024 and I'm so curious what the f this is. Also, lived in Atlanta for 30 whole years and was never once threatened by Sharia law. I did buy a rabbit once from a Halal grocery for a recipe.
So we are expanding the war effort to include an invasion and embargo of... Spain? Seriously, 25th this dude yesterday.
I feel like we can't rule out that Trump will wake up some Thursday and decide it's time to end the world by launching our entire nuclear arsenal.
I think we're paying for the fact that Bush-to-Trump voters were never forced to reckon with their support for the Iraq war. They were able to just disown it without actually contemplating their earlier cheerleading for it.
L'il Marco dropping in with his coked out affect. Interesting watching him criticize religious extremists given his colleagues.
(AI, obviously). A carton of milk in the style of the old "Missing Child" pictures urging the public to keep an eye out for The Legislative Branch.
I'm so glad I'm not a Maine voter. My deeply held principle of "Dems must elect younger candidates" is colliding right into my "No Nazis, ever" posture. I'd definitely end up voting for Mills, but I'd be pretty mad about my options. There's also a Bush running for gov on the GOP side. Wild stuff.
congress sounds cool i wish it was real
I feel like we need to put a picture of the Legislative Branch on milk cartons. Maybe someone will recognize it and we'll be able to track it down.
This place can't possibly be secure against a well-managed drone swarm.
James Franco being executed by hanging. "First time?" he asks, as though he's been hanged before.
hey gen z welcome to republican governance
Yup.
Suspended, apparently.
More like Epstein Fury amirite?
I must have missed the "making its case" phase of this shit.
Wait, we're giving up our nukes?
