The Trump administration's lawless killing spree at sea continues with a lethal strike on four more supposed "narco-terrorists" in the Caribbean. Very real killing in a make-believe war. Outside of war the general term for premeditated killing is murder.

possibly it seems like the fate of international students seeking education in the U.S. is far from your own. but the regime's project to destroy higher education hinges on closing the doors to students from outside the U.S., and the consequences are wide and deep

Trump putting himself on the black horse is an incredible bit of accidental symbolism. In Revelation, the rider of the black horse represents famine and scarcity, with basic food costing a day's wages. So apparently the AI finally generated one presidential portrait with some historical accuracy.
