every time some hack content creator tries to defend being “apolitical,” I’ll hear @weratedogs.com saying, “my advice to ICE is get out while you can, because history says the most likely outcome is for you to be hanging by a lamppost and then your body paraded through the streets”

Oh dang, is Dean Werner gonna put them on double secret probation?
The Pentagon is said to have used a plane that looked like a civilian aircraft in a boat strike. The law prohibits combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime called “perfidy.”
U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane
Even accepting the Trump administration’s claim that there is an armed conflict with suspected drug runners, the laws of war bar “perfidy.”

Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

D.C. judges and grand jurors push back on Trump policing surge
A federal magistrate judge said one arrest in D.C. was preceded by the “most illegal search I’ve seen in my life” and another lacked “basic human dignity.”

My toddler triplets might be the only creatures on this planet who, upon seeing Rankin Bass’s The Hobbit (1977), pretend to be the goblins riding on wolves or the spiders of Mirkwood. They’re galloping and baring their teeth for the Battle of Five Armies as I type this.
