Last night I learned about Violet Club, the UK's "Megaton" (more like 400 KT) FISSION (not thermonuclear) bomb.

HFS guys, this thing was the worst idea ever.

I can't believe I didn't know about it, and now I'm SO curious about it....

Actually, it was never a viable military target. It was a legitimate target for boarding, perhaps, not destruction. But after it was partly sunk, no, it was not a legitimate target.

I know hypocrisy is a feature not a bug in this era but if the Chinese government said it had intel (which they refused to show or verify) on U.S. citizen criminals who were doing things that negatively impacted Chinese citizens so they did some targeted strikes on or right off american soil…
It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

This is unbecoming of a mayor to be honest. He should not be doing photo ops with “Catholic” Charities he should be doing actual New York mayor elect work like further militarizing the police in Queen or getting blackmailed by Tom Homan on live tv
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.

Between the Islamophobia, the anti-Semitism, the racism, and the homophobia -- it must be so bizarre to be afraid of basically everyone, all the time

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I absolutely hate how every US media outlet will do this every time a cop shoots someone. They'll make the headline vague to imply an officer was shot by a suspect, then abuse passive voice to absolve the officer of any wrongdoing. "the agent’s weapon discharged". BRO, HE SHOT HIS COLLEAGUE.
