Trump admits the US committed several war crimes by sinking an Iranian ship and leaving survivors to drown for fun. "I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? We could use it. Why did we sink them?' He said, 'It's more fun to sink them.' They like sinking them better."

For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is: A former DOGE employee stole the Social Security numbers & personal info of over 500 MILLION Americans. Musk, Trump, & their DOGE lackies must be made to answer for this, NOW.

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Ubuntu with GNOME is a very specific experience. As a desktop, I love it for 2 in 1 and tablet devices, but not so much for laptops. I've got Linux Mint on a ThinkPad E14, and I love it. Lenovo has historically been a great Linux partner.
