creenshot of an X.com post by Dan Koh claiming Trump is spending $30B on 10,000 more ICE agents, listing alternative uses for the money (ACA subsidies, ending prescription copays, eliminating medical debt) and criticizing the policy. Below the text is a TV news screenshot with a ‘Breaking News’ banner about a shooting in Minneapolis and on-screen text reading ‘$30 BILLION…’.

Shikoku (1999 Shunichi Nagasaki) Truly spellbinding. One of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. The story is almost a secondary concern but it's also rather good.

A ★★★★½ review of Shikoku (1999)
Absolutely gorgeous. Lacks the thrills you might expect from a J-Horror (though certainly has its share of creepy moments) but as a pure aesthetic wonder, Shikoku has few peers. With daytime shooting ...

We are appalled by the lack of humanity of the current administration and DeSantis towards our immigrant communities. We call for the barbaric treatment of the Evergaldes detainees to cease, and we hope to see investigations into these abusive practices once responsible leadership is in power.

On December 13, 1937, the Nanking Massacre began as Japanese troops invaded Nanjing, China. Over six weeks, hundreds of thousands of civilians/unarmed soldiers were killed, serving as a sobering reminder of war’s horrors and the need for accountability. #StayCurious #Skystorians #DiveIntoDiscovery
Japanese soldiers with swords:

This historical image from a Japanese newspaper highlights two Japanese soldiers participating in a propaganda-driven “contest to kill 100 people with a sword” during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The contest was heavily publicized in Japanese media, glorifying acts of violence as demonstrations of martial prowess. This deeply disturbing challenge involved the systematic murder of civilians and prisoners of war, turning atrocities into sport. 

While the authenticity of the contest remains debated, it underscores the brutality of the Nanking Massacre, which began on December 13, 1937. Over six weeks, Japanese forces committed widespread atrocities, including mass executions, rape, and looting, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 200,000–300,000 people. 

This image represents the normalization of dehumanization and violence by the Japanese Imperial Army and serves as a stark reminder of how propaganda can fuel unspeakable acts. The inclusion of such competitions in newspapers reveals how atrocities were not only ignored but often celebrated during wartime. This image remains a symbol of the lack of accountability and the extreme violence of the Nanking Massacre, one of history’s most egregious war crimes.Japanese troops entering Nanjing:

This black-and-white photograph captures the Japanese military triumphantly entering Nanjing, China, on December 13, 1937, marking the beginning of their occupation of the city. Their organized ranks and celebratory demeanor contrast sharply with the horrors that unfolded soon after. The fall of Nanjing was a turning point in the Second Sino-Japanese War, leading to what is now known as the Nanking Massacre. During the subsequent six weeks, Japanese troops perpetrated mass killings, systematic sexual violence, and destruction on an unprecedented scale. 

The photograph illustrates the overwhelming power and strategic planning of the Japanese military, as well as the helplessness of Nanjing’s residents in the face of occupation. This invasion marked not only the city’s downfall but also the loss of humanity as ordinary citizens were subjected to unspeakable horrors. The image serves as a chilling reminder of the catastrophic consequences of unchecked military aggression and the human cost of imperial ambitions.Chinese military youth:

This powerful photograph depicts young Chinese soldiers standing in formation, armed and prepared to resist the Japanese invasion during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The youthfulness of these fighters speaks volumes about the desperate measures taken by China to defend its sovereignty. As Japanese forces advanced with superior weaponry and training, China mobilized all possible resources, including young recruits, to protect its territories. These young soldiers represent the resilience and sacrifice of a nation under siege, fighting against overwhelming odds. 

The image also highlights the tragic reality of war, where children and teenagers were thrust into roles far beyond their years. The hardships faced by these soldiers—poor equipment, limited training, and exposure to relentless violence—underscore the immense human cost of war. Despite their vulnerability, their courage symbolizes China’s determination to resist aggression and protect its people. This image is a poignant reminder of the lengths to which individuals and nations will go to defend their homeland, even at the greatest personal cost.Japanese soldiers waving flags:

This image portrays Japanese soldiers celebrating their capture of Nanjing, waving national flags in triumph. The moment of jubilation contrasts starkly with the atrocities that followed, making this photograph a haunting reminder of the cost of imperial conquest. The soldiers’ apparent pride and elation mask the horrors that were inflicted on the people of Nanjing during the massacre. Over six weeks, Japanese forces engaged in widespread killing, sexual violence, and destruction, targeting civilians and prisoners of war indiscriminately. 

The cheering soldiers in this image embody the stark disparity between the invaders’ perception of victory and the devastation experienced by the occupied. The waving of flags and displays of unity in this photograph were likely used as propaganda, aiming to boost morale and justify the invasion. However, for modern audiences, this image serves as a grim reminder of the human suffering behind such “victories” and underscores the importance of confronting and acknowledging the atrocities of the past to prevent their repetition in the future.
