The way what is happening right now in Gaza is treated in much of the media is no different. Think of how difficult it must be for the bulldozer driver to roll his terrible machine over the bodies of the living and the dead alike. www.welcometohellworld.com/we-deserve-it/
The way what is happening right now in Gaza is treated in much of the media is no different. Think of how difficult it must be for the bulldozer driver to roll his terrible machine over the bodies of the living and the dead alike.

I imagine it must be hard to do so much killing. I certainly do not believe I could do it. I imagine that would take a toll on a person. Engaging in mass murder. Torture. Slaughter. It's something Frantz Fanon saw in his treatment of French torturers in Algeria. It's something even fucking Heinrich Himmler knew. Murdering women and children is a difficult thing for a man to do. Most men anyway. It must nevertheless be done of course so what if there were a way to depersonalize it? To remove the intimacy of it? To industrialize it?

To the point where it is no longer one human being killing another human being it is simply the maintenance and operation of a vast machinery. Insert ammunition on one end and it spits out corpses on the other.

At least 75,000 tons of bombs have been dropped on Gaza in the past year. Although that estimate came from way back in April.

That sort of killing must be so much easier to do.

the phrase “more than a dozen pregnant children” ringing in my ears www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."
