The emerging narrative from the people who worked for Biden seems to be "we debased ourselves repeatedly and violated our own laws for Israel and Israel won't even say thank you".

#OTD On Jan 31, 1915, Germany launched its first large-scale gas attack at Bolimów. 18,000 gas shells rained down, but the attack failed as freezing winds caused the gas to freeze or blow back. #WWI #history #battleofbolimow

Was going to complain that Hollywood should do a movie about the Red Ball Express, then I looked to see if it had already been done. It had. In 1952. Starring Jeff Chandler, and a really young Sidney Poitier. Watching it now. It's very 1952. Could still do with a modern telling.

This is an important, credible, and damning article about the IDF in Gaza by Andy Milburn, a retired US Marine Raider colonel with combat experience from Fallujah and Mosul who maintained close contact with IDF officers during the war (while keeping a low public profile). Read the whole thing.

"Okay boss, I'm good at the language of images so you want the dissident facing the camera, defiant, and the agent of the state faceless, back to the camera, as if they're cowering in shame, right?"

On approche de la fin de la saison d'hiver, avec un sujet joyeux : les nazis. Enfin pas les nazis - la Wehrmacht. Vous savez ? Les soldats normaux, corrects, qui ont juste été victimes de leurs dirigeants. Sauf que ça, c'est un mythe, un mensonge collectif. open.spotify.com/episode/0qZF...

Does it inspire any introspection on the part of the Democratic foreign policy establishment that backing Israel to the hilt no matter what it did at any time undermined America's global position and image while also not getting any credit from Israel itself

Rare RL post: What a beautiful day in #Baltimore

An #OnThisDay post reflective of current weather conditions at my home today! Stay warm and stay off the roads if you're also under white-out conditions this morning!

Children screaming and crying can be heard as a possible uprising is underway at the ICE Children's Concentration Camp in Dilley, TX (1/24/26).

Holy crap. This is the most damning video yet. It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face. Murder.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

They shot an unarmed mother in the face in front of her wife then called her a “fucking bitch”. They kidnapped a five year old and used them as bait. They deported a two year old despite a judge’s orders. They maced, pistol whipped, and disarmed a nurse legally carrying then shot him nine times.

Almost ubelieveable that this is legitimately more horrific than flagrantly indefensible than the killings that sparked the 2020 protests. This is just a public execution.

Really interesting bit of reading on life in the trenches, where small comforts were a big deal

Amazing moment on French TV. A French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy basically trying to intimidate her during Le Pen's trial for embezzlement - something they've done to other judges around the world.

Real into ethereal megastructures fulfilling some advanced purpose

There is no non-regime media on tv in the United States

The French were satisfied with the Char D1 concept, but wanted thicker armour. An order for 50 Char D2 with 40 mm thick armour was placed #OTD in 1934, but due to low priority only a few dozen tanks were built by 1940. #tanks #history

These are a few of my favorites that I've been sitting on for awhile: Moroccan Goumiers in a liberated village in the Vosges, January 1944. #WWII #WW2 #France #Morocco #MilitaryHistory #Alsace #Vosges

The Fokker T.V (1937) was intended to destroy enemy bombers, while also capable of carrying bombs itself. Design wrangles resulted in a lengthy development process with the T.V’s trials only being considered complete after delivery of the seventh aircraft in September 1939. 📷 fokker-history.com 🧵1/8

Great piece overall— would add as an addendum that it's very informative who the US does *not^ encourage to rebel against oppression— the Palestinians, Lebanese, Egyptians, etc.

Every time something happens involving the potential of war with Iran, everybody gets their knickers in a twist about Tomcats. I think on #SabreSaturday, other U.S. sales to the Shah should be showcased. Here are four IIAF F-86Fs AND a Swede SAAB Tunnan serving with the UN in the Congo ca. 1962.

In 1914, the Indian Corps arrived at Marseille just in time to save the BEF from potential collapse. This episode looks at the vital WWI legacy that forced the modernization of the Indian Army, preparing it for the brutal realities of the 1940s Burma campaign. #TheGreatWar #WW1 #MilitaryHistory

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

On 11 January 1942, Wing Cdr. Wells, CO No. 108 Sqdn RAF, took Plane P for Peter on a raid to Tripoli. It was the first offensive sortie flown by a Liberator in the Mediterranean theatre.

Nearly finished the tank scrape for the R35 scheduled for appearance in the Battle of Biville at our upcoming Lardy Day. Needs varnishing, grass tufts and then some vegetation camouflaging it and I can then call it done. #wargaming #spreadthelard #minatures

The sheer volume of white nationalist memes/allusions posted from official government accounts over the past year is staggering www.vox.com/politics/475...

１日１ミリ。1945年1月20日というとバルジの戦いもほぼ趨勢が決まった頃、場所はクルティル（Courtil）。バストーニュとザンクトヴィートの間の国境の森林地帯になる。会敵の心配もないのか森の中で（おそらく）食事をとる兵士たち、傍にCレーションと思われる空き箱。M10は砲塔後部が切り立ってカウンターウェイトの下部がえぐれていることから後期型と判断できる。オープントップの砲塔上部に周囲が少し立ち上がってみえるのは、なにか仮設の天蓋でも作ってあるのだろうか。

okay but why is the department of fucking labor talking like this

I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history. The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

Brazenly unlawful in a ‘this was why the country was created’ way.

tomorrow: leaflets air-dropped over the Twin Cities inform residents that unless they evacuate to certain designated zones they and their families will be treated as enemy combatants by the most moral ICE in the world

Movie Sunday – Ceux du Groupe Lorraine Just came across this, the first two minutes cover operations of the Groupe de Bombardment Lorraine (later No. 342 (French) Squadron RAF) in North Africa, almost certainly the bombing runs against the Halfaya Pass in January 1942. The remainder deals with the…

Not sure I've ever actually seen the Ken Stabler rule applied prior to this evening

Call it a crossover episode or something like that? Interesting historical episode that I've never seen mentioned until I stumbled across these photos. Tens of thousands of Chinese KMT troops fled across China's southern border as the communists swept to victory in the civil war in late 1949.

A murder by secret police in Minneapolis, the hub of the upper middle western province of Minnesota, has led to protests and increasingly heavy handed repression by state security services. Outside experts say this may be the spark that ignites a powder keg of simmering unrest against the regime

A French tank machine-guns a German strong point on a street in Belfort, France. 22 November, 1944.

So how dangerous were anti-shipping raids conducted by the RAF during WW2? Chances of surviving one tour of duty in 1940-2 was 17.5% and only 3% to survive the second tour... This is Flak damage to a Bristol Beaufort in the Middle East
