A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

Last night I learned about Violet Club, the UK's "Megaton" (more like 400 KT) FISSION (not thermonuclear) bomb.
HFS guys, this thing was the worst idea ever.
I can't believe I didn't know about it, and now I'm SO curious about it....

Actually, it was never a viable military target. It was a legitimate target for boarding, perhaps, not destruction. But after it was partly sunk, no, it was not a legitimate target.

I know hypocrisy is a feature not a bug in this era but if the Chinese government said it had intel (which they refused to show or verify) on U.S. citizen criminals who were doing things that negatively impacted Chinese citizens so they did some targeted strikes on or right off american soil…
It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

This is unbecoming of a mayor to be honest. He should not be doing photo ops with “Catholic” Charities he should be doing actual New York mayor elect work like further militarizing the police in Queen or getting blackmailed by Tom Homan on live tv

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
