This Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to PACT, the wonderful child trafficking prevention nonprofit I work at.

We need money because the government is defunding nonprofits and making it harder for us to do our job *cough* release the files *cough*

Thank you.

One issue is the constitution being written by educated men, imagined that future citizens and leaders would be as educated as them or more, and that therefore their future was always going to be one that respected unwritten but agreed upon centuries of English legal tradition

If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

I usually put NCIS on to fall asleep & never paying attention to any of it until recently I finally started catching episodes like 3 seasons in. The plot is entirely Israeli propaganda & I need a new sleepytime show now. 😤

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?"

Mark Kelly: "It seems to."
