If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

The even worse part is that if you try and apply this to any situation other than politics people will rightly laugh at you and call you a fool. "It's not the drunk driver's fault I lost my kids in that car accident, I blame the paramedics who couldn't save them at the scene!"

You're at Simon. I need you at Simon.

The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

An important part of arresting the consolidation of authoritarianism is convincing corporations and institutions that Trump will eventually be out of power and at that point they’ll face consequences for their actions and by that standard this is a good sign

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children. This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.

The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story. The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth. And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.

History, we know, is apt to repeat herself, and to foist very old incidents upon us with only a slight change of costume.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

Love this latest Public Health is Dead episode from @DaniAtomicus with @juliadoubleday.bsky.social & @wanderingkayli.bsky.social A perfect breakdown of how media manufactured consent for mass disability, death & the "vax and relax" Covid narrative 🎯 www.publichealthisdead.com/episodes/bad...

Name and shame and destroy their bottom lines for supporting fascism. Gotta make being a Nazi collaborator extremely expensive.

🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder. "the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

The Hidden Duo Turning Hate into Law

A wonderful, resonant essay from @thesicktimes.org about how we can better listen to anyone going through something catastrophic. "Avoiding the topic feels absurd — like I’m standing in quicksand, and we’re chitchatting over glasses of lemonade as I slowly sink." thesicktimes.org/2025/11/28/y...

This whole thread, with a loud amen from me.

So they gone from Mass Deportation to Remigration. They're not beating the Nazi rap.

What a great headline

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Because it's Gen X and ignoring us is nothing new. LOL

Didn't feel like pie this year so I made mini cupcakes instead. Red Velvet, oh yeah. #HappyThanksgiving

🤣🤣🤣

NYT is just our RT. You can't change my mind.

Hey just a public service announcement that President Biden is still not senile and never was and this is going to be true no matter how many journalists totally fucked over the country in the most unethical disturbing ways. You can keep posting it but it's still bullshit so go fuck yourself.

good news everyone the Mistaken Text From Grandma Thanksgiving buddy drama is still going strong this story delights me every year

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

This is why a con man shouldn’t have been allowed to become President! This 👇

We do. But no one is listening.

In 1970, a new Thanksgiving Day tradition, called Day of Mourning, began in Plymouth. A Wampanoag man named Wamsutta (Frank) James organized a demonstration to bring awareness to the concerns of the Indigenous community including the way Native people had been written about in history. 🌹

I've shared on here before, why more cops do not and cannot reduce the murder rate in US cities. I've shared that criminal justice reformers have known what does work, and has worked in dozens of US cities. It's now driving record low homicide in Chicago and Baltimore♥️🕊️ Now let's talk cop killings

Vicente has been missing for seven weeks after being taken into DHS’ custody and experiencing a medical emergency. His family has no answers on where he is or if he is safe. The Trump Administration cannot get away with disappearing people.

So bizarre how you have Trump fawning over Saudi, Qatari, and Israeli leaders while the party he supposedly controls is having a resurgence in anti-Muslim and antisemitic rhetoric.

this is an insane response for basically any shooter profile and motivation

Could be the result of: - A politically motivated attack - A robbery - A negligent discharge - An argument between Guard members The point is: Don't assume anything and wait for details

It’s sad I have zero faith in explanations offered by this administration of any tragedy. It’s also sad how media companies still give the first 24 hours to the administration to frame any narrative.

If there's anything that definitely settles conspiracy theories, it's an explicitly-named coverup project that costs tons of time and money to implement!

Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!

He’s keeping the donated money, there won’t be a ballroom and we will be on the hook to reconstruct the East Wing.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? Carol will fuck someone up to save me. 😀

I can't get over how quickly the window shifted at Google over what is acceptable from its image generator. Photorealistic 'evidence' of sensitive events was once a red line. No longer. "Show the White House on fire with emergency crews responding" returns the desired image with no jailbreak.

Keeps me warm on those long, cold dark nights of the soul that we've been going through. It's also what fuels my continued fight to keep Covid out of my body. It is my super power.
