Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre.

Denial of genocide is not only a profound insult to victims & families, but a rejection of the definitive rulings by intn’l courts that concluded the acts committed there constituted genocide.
Bosnia and Herzegovina: 30th anniversary of Srebrenica massacre “a painful reminder from history”
Ahead of the 30th anniversary of the massacre in Srebrenica more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed by the Bosnian Serb Army, Amnesty International’s Deputy Regional Director for Europe, Dinushika Dissanayake, said: “As we mark this solemn milestone and honour the memory of the victims, we also pay tribute to their families and to organizations […]

It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die.

There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

my cables will not be "managed"

I love all cables equally. each is empowered to roam freely in pursuit of self-directed goals, articulating a personality of its own. that's not a tangle, it's a statement.

cable management is a tool of the oppressor.

As Gabriel Byrne says in Miller's Crossing: “I'd worry a lot less if I thought you were worrying enough.”
We must hope that the administration is worrying enough about #India and #Pakistan, and can find the competence to help deescalate the situation.

Markets update:
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

‘Prisoner’s Dilemma’ vs ‘Lando Test’
If Trump is willing to hurt the economy, he must be getting something he wants even more in return.

That thing is power. With tariffs, Trump can exercise a kind of corruption that the country hasn’t experienced in some 150 years. Read @pemalevy.bsky.social.
Trump’s tariffs give him a new way to dole out reward and punishment
The president's latest power grab will devastate America's economy—and its democracy.

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.
