Trump and Pete Hegseth just killed three more people in another bombing, this time in the Pacific. The dead were said to be part of a "designated terrorist organization," which is itself utterly absurd. No evidence provided.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
It gets even darker than that. 1/

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Earlier this week, all 74 of the Northwest’s endangered orcas gathered into what researchers call a superpod — a sort of all-inclusive family reunion.
Rare orca superpod comes to Seattle
They came together Sunday evening not far from Port Townsend. Why, no one can say for sure, except the participants themselves — and no humans speak their language.

I know it's all so stupid, but this isn't why it's DoD. Army/War and Navy being separate was outdated and impractical, needed to unify. "Defense" as a common name for that started w/ "Minister of Defence" in the UK, created for the same reason by notoriously woke war-loser Winston Churchill.
Trump: "We have officially renamed the Dept of Defense back to the original name, Dept of War. And remember we won World War 1, we won World War 2, we won everything in between. We won everything that came before. And then we brilliantly decided to change the name. We became politically correct"

Last I heard, landlords, supermarkets and other places don’t take “patriotism” instead of 💸💰💸
1. I didn't realize that "patriotism" was a prerequisite for the job of air traffic controller.
2. If "patriotism" means continuing to support a gov't that continually sh*ts on you, maybe it's not a good thing.
