Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

84 years ago today: Pearl Harbor, the culmination and consequence of two decades of retreat into isolationism, nationalism, nativism, protectionism, and a refusal to defend democracy and confront the dictators.

We have started down that path again.

Because of course he is. He’s the most vain, self absorbed, megalomaniacal fuckwad ever. Another fucking FIFA pacifier to soothe the fucking hole where his heart should be.
Trump is just the worst! The National Park Service is reshuffling its free-admission schedule so that visitors get in free on Donald Trump’s birthday next year, while Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth (previously free days) will now require regular entrance fees.
National Parks are now free on Trump's birthday, but not on MLK Jr. Day or Juneteenth
The Trump administration overhauled the list of free National Park days for 2026.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

I heard that now they're placing people who criticize ICE under surveillance. I want it to be known to the entire world that I despise ICE to the core and I think their entire institution should be abolished. They are cruel, inhumane, and are examples of the worst of humanity

Fuck ICE Fuck Fascism.

First Trump claimed his attacks on immigrants were targeting "illegals." Now people who followed the rules are being denied US citizenship.

First Trump told Europe to pay more for defense. Now his National Security Strategy is bashing Europe for not being white enough.

The common thread: racism.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

No one uses the language of my people better to highlight the sheer fucking corrupt idiocracy of this motherfucking fascist PedoPrez fuck & his fawning FIFA sippy cup prize. If you’re incapable of saying words that illustrate your rage on this travesty, read this out loud. I did. It was perfect.
The whole stupid ceremony throbbed with the same delusional confidence as an out-of-business chiropractor awarding himself “Best Spine Wizard” because no one else bothered to show up.

The only “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine is Kleptocracy and Grift.

Ulrike Franke, “The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a speech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.”

Child Separation is in full swing. Where are these kids actually being taken and what’s going to happen to them? There is no oversight or accountability. What’s happening to the children?!?!

ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record.
Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the count...

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.
