I am a retired academic who specialized in late medieval European history. Japanese culture, cats, flowers, gardening, embroidery and other needle arts are all my passions. My political views are progressive with an interest in social justice.

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

All orders signed by Trump should be reversed because he’s not in his right mind. His name should be stricken from American history.

I just thought I'd let you guys know that I made this same exact post on X and it got a ton of likes which triggered it to get barraged - literally barraged - by pro-billionaire bots and trolls. More than I've seen before except maybe once or twice. Clearly this is Elon's pet issue.

It's amazing how so many billionaires - who have WAY more money than they could possibly need in 500 lifetimes - REALLY want to avoid paying small slivers of tax money to benefit a common good like social safety services for less fortunate countrymen within the society that made them billionaires.

Once again the Senile Satin blames his own corrupt actions on the Biden administration. He and his minions and flunkies are staggeringly hypocritical.
Reporter: “You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US …”
Trump: “Right.”
Reporter: “Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?”

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

This is indeed their standard template.
The Trump apologist checklist after Trump or his administration does something awful:
1. Fake news, it didn’t happen.
2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened.
3. So it happened, so what.
4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]

It makes no sense to me either. But we must trust that Trump always has a plan. There is no Trump but Trump and Don Jr is his messenger.
Markwayne Mullin defends Trump pardoning Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking: "What the president is doing is always calculated. I haven't had a direct conversation with the president about it, but I do trust his natural reaction and his approach to foreign affairs."

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
