I've been thinking about this photo all day. Considering how the Trump administration is constantly ranting about Communists, and how Pete Hegseth is always nattering on about our WARFIGHTERS, it's genuinely crazy to me that this image exists. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-kowt...
Screenshot of a Getty photograph captioned: "U.S. military personnel unroll the red carpet at the bottom of the stairs of an Air China plane carrying Chinese President Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on September 23, 2026. (Kent Nishimura / AFP via Getty Images)" Above it, also in the screenshot, is a paragraph of text from a Bulwark article that included that picture. The text reads: "That was certainly the sense conveyed by the ceremony as a whole. There was the televised spectacle of American service members on their hands and knees, smoothing wrinkles and picking specks of dirt off the 100-foot long red carpet that had been unrolled for Xi, as Chinese officials looked on approvingly from the door of their airplane before their leader descended the stairs."

NEW: For 25 years, the memory of 9/11 has been sanitized to leave out the 200 who jumped, partly from a Christian fear that jumping was suicide. The Catholic Church does not teach that. Gwendolyn Briley, the Falling Man’s sister, said it best: “They were falling into the arms of God.”
thelettersfromleo.com
“They Were Falling Into the Arms of God” — A Catholic Defense of the 9/11 Jumpers
At least 200 people jumped from the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and America agreed to look away. A Church that hangs the crucifixion over every altar has no business sanitizing that morning.

It's Eclipse Day! Don't forget your glasses. Or your top hats, parasols and bonnets. Picture: Johann Christian Schoeller, "Sonnenfinsternis", July 1842. #eclipse #history
A painting titled "Sonnenfinsternis, 8. Juli 1842" by Johann Christian Schoeller depicts a large crowd gathered outdoors in a town square during a total solar eclipse. Men and women dressed in elaborate 19th-century European attire cover the foreground, many gazing up or pointing toward the sky. Above them, a glowing white ring surrounds the dark moon in the center of a dim, muted sky. In the background stand light-colored buildings with red roofs, tall smoking chimneys, and distant trees under the twilight glow of the eclipsed sun.

Musk is trying to normalize selective empathy (he’s said that empathy is the West’s “greatest weakness”), because an expanded and inclusive view of humanity is one of the common features of people with moral courage. To recruit ppl to his project, he needs them to think and be small, like him.
