In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

This isn’t just an improper blending of church and state.
It’s a twisted mockery of Christianity that ought to offend any actually devout Christian.
Showing armed soldiers moving into battle as you lip service “… as we forgive those who trespass against us” sorta misses the point.

Add a dose of propaganda to your morning coffee.. This smells of Russian-like “special operation”

"An economy that kills, that excludes, that starves, that concentrates enormous wealth in a few to the detriment of the many, that multiplies poverty and grinds down salaries, that pollutes, that produces war, is not an economy: It is just an emptiness, an absence, a sickness." #PopeFrancis #Hope

Trump: "I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be like, dead."

Pope today: “With the abuse of vulnerable migrants, we are witnessing not the legitimate exercise of national sovereignty but grave crimes committed and tolerated by the state. Ever more inhuman measures are being adopted, even celebrated politically, that treat these 'undesirables' like garbage.”

Would a patriot have turned excavators on the White House for the sake of a gargantuan, tacky monarchical event space? Would a patriot show so little regard for how it would feel to his countrymen to see this desecration? www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-mar-...
Trump’s Mar-a-White House
The president is desecrating a symbol of liberal democracy and replacing it with a tacky, bloated eyesore.

Ben Bradlee's "Conversations with Kennedy" is a fascinating book. In writing biography, I always go back to JFK's observation, "What makes journalism so fascinating and biography so interesting [is] the struggle to answer that single question: 'What's he like?'"

We need a Ben Bradlee these days . . .
"As long as a journalist tells the truth, in conscience and fairness, it is not his job to worry about consequences. The truth is never as dangerous as a lie in the long run. I truly believe the truth sets men free."
