When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

ICE locked up a 6-year-old with leukemia—after his court hearing. He cried every night. Not from chemo, but from what we did to him.

There’s an active investigation into the access DOGE officials gained to federal IT systems. Fortunately, detailed documentation was kept by many along the way. More DOGE “resignations” are expected.

After more than 600 days of bloodshed in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and now a fresh attack on Iran, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu increasingly looks like a leader who is using those wars to extend his hold on power - and avoid facing the courts.

Israel’s attack on Iran puts a leader addicted to war in the spotlight
If the wars stop, Netanyahu’s right-wing nationalist coalition likely falls apart – and he will almost certainly be back in court facing corruption allegations that could see him jailed

No matter how slippery the SpaceX fans get in their defenses ("you don't understand, we learned so much!") the fact is these tests are waaaaay past the "experiments sometimes fail" stage. These are tests of what's supposed to be a working design and build.
But it doesn't work. It blows up.

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like
weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"
