I have one thing to say about waking up to petro-kidnapping: I spent many years listening to the stories and inner lives of the soldiers who fought the last petro-war. I wish devoutly that we wouldn't do that to a new generation. Fake-o wars damage and kill real soldiers.

The Pentagon will cut the military retirement pay of Sen. Mark Kelly for what Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the Arizona Democrat’s “seditious” statements on a video telling service members they have the right to refuse to execute illegal orders.

I Love You
It is a deceitful phrase
with no fixed meaning
Words twisted into whatever
the speaker wants to mean
or whatever the listener
wants to hear
But I care for you
Adore you
Smile when I see you
Miss you when you're gone
Revel in your company
Wish for your joy
That will have to do.

That’s because we are being governed by, say it with me now, a death cult.
A Utah surgeon’s victory in a vaccine fraud case has encouraged other “medical freedom” advocates to consider seeking leniency for similar charges. “This undermines every layer of the system that protects us from infectious disease,” an expert said.
In Utah, Pam Bondi put a stop to a surgeon’s vaccine fraud trial — and ignited nationwide hope for more ‘medical freedom’ pardons

Is this a ritual,
touching the
dark intersection of
sacred and profane?
Or regression therapy,
breaking through walls
to unlock the pieces
you carefully locked away?
Is it an exercise in
sensual excess,
nerve endings lit up
with your taste for the extreme?
They blur together
in this mindless moment.
