Racist assholes. Can’t show that non whites can be patriotic and give the ultimate sacrifice to save the world from fascists like them!
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. ⬇️

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

After decades of enjoying the show 60 Minutes...I will likely. Never. Watch. It. Again. It's only a fond memory, now. It no longer exists.

Let me put this as simply as possible: If the 60 Minutes editorial team cuts out most of their interview with Trump to make him look his best, and he still comes across as completely demented, then it is extremely likely that Trump actually is completely demented.

Fuck Fenway Health. Let’s just destroy health care for people due to unscientific bullshit right wing fascists promote. Fuck the board. Fuck the Trump fuckers. Fuck Trump.
1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.
It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.
Community members are devastated.

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.
And that’s wrong.

(1) So the Secretary of Defense says that the soldiers who fought at Wounded Knee will keep their medals.
In the evening they marched off up Wounded Knee Creek, and then we saw all that they had done there.

I’d love to hear that every time one of these assholes is spouting injurious lies.
Part of me is annoyed at myself for letting this Israeli racist colonel get under my skin.
Part of me thinks we should in fact normalize telling genocidal war criminals to "fuck off" on television.
