Maybe at some point we’ll talk about how the same politicians that ruined sex workers’ lives with SESTA-FOSTA and conflated consensual work with trafficking, had brazen dealings with a goddamn pedophile ring for decades. Or not

You can extrapolate this tactic all the way down to local police. No matter how absurd, they’ll frame any victim of their violence as the aggressor. Even if unarmed and drowning.
I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

Giving Trump what he wants is like feeding a seagull. All you have done is teach him that he can get more.
The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:
-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Sheriffs are overstepping their authority under Wisconsin law by illegally holding people for days so that ICE can pick them up.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

I’m not saying “don’t get distracted” because if there is a consensus to call it a war crime then there could be some accountability in the near term. But let’s not forget the whole truth of what this really is.

it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
