The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

This is so deeply at odds with the vision and history of America. Take pretty much any ethnic or racial group that are part of the American mosaic America today - they have all faced the same accusation. The moment these accusations are turned into policy are some of the most shameful in US history

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. "The order was to kill everybody," one of them said.
A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed.
As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.
The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack - the opening salvo in the Trump administration's war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.

Bearing your cross is a lot easier with wheels.
A man in a suit walks across a stadium floor carrying a large wooden cross on wheels. The stands are full of people, a big screen shows musicians performing, and a banner overhead reads “Building a Legacy, Remembering Charlie Kirk.” Fox News logo is in the corner.

Since I looked it up: The Bismarck was laid down by the Nazi government in 1936, christened by Hitler himself on Valentine’s Day 1939, and damaged so badly in battle by the Royal Navy in 1941 that the Nazis scuttled her. The ship never saw any other government of Germany.

This is an optimistic take, but I think the fact the fascists are explicitly pro-confederacy and also pro-pedophile will afford us more opportunities to discredit their ideology than it would be a world in which they’re more subtle.

Justices Alito, Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Roberts, and Thomas wouldn’t let a President Mamdani do away with DHS by firing everyone in its building. But they’ll let Pres. Trump do it to the Dept of Education, and they don’t feel obliged to articulate a principle that would lead to both outcomes.

No explanation. None. It’s obscene. I keep remembering the 1679 habeas corpus act. It reacted to the king arresting people & without trial deporting them. It began: “for prevention of imprisonment beyond seas.” Without explanation, our current SCOTUS majority is undoing centuries of justice.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care. One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be chea...
