I need someone to give me room to write about this moment in anti Muslim hate because there’s a reason Nidal Hassan is who is being killed by live firing squad. And it’s the same reason Ilhans house was raided.

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola. Fuck Columbus.

Just want to note that Hegseth is not the only one who bears the moral violation of this execution. Both Trump and acting Army Secretary Adam R. Telle by regulation had to sign off and organize it. I get the focus on Hegseth but important to name the others.
