The case of #ICC illustrates a very clear distinction between the #USA and #Europe; Europe believes war crimes are a bad thing. The USA believes war crimes are a fine thing. Pick a side.

Many people in Donald Trump’s orbit view their positions not as public service but as a profit center—and the latest examples came this week, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

Trump is STILL using your tax dollars to pay for this propaganda — even after promising to pay for these ads himself. Every single dollar spent on this BS campaign is a dollar that could be going toward lowering your costs. It must end, NOW.

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

"Mr. Hegseth said that the decision to shoot Major Hasan by a firing squad, as well as other details of the execution, were chosen for their symbolism."
“Of course we’re going to do it at Fort Hood,” Mr. Hegseth said. “And do it on a Thursday and we’re going to do it at 1 o’clock — which is when he did it — and it’s going to be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad. It hadn’t been since World War II since we’ve done that.”

He continued, “Well I kind of like the mentality we had in World War II.”

1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.

Trump’s attack on ICC is aimed at protecting the US, Israel and Russia from legal accountability. Meanwhile, US, Israeli and Russian disinformation and influence networks are undermining democracy & justice globally, from South America to Europe, Mexico, Canada, and beyond.
A political collage juxtaposing portrait photos of three prominent world leaders with scenes of war devastation and mass graves.
The top half of the image features headshots of three political figures, each wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and red tie:
• Vladimir Putin (President of Russia) on the left, looking slightly away from the camera.
• Benjamin Netanyahu (Prime Minister of Israel) in the center, looking directly forward with a slight smirk.
• Donald Trump (President of the United States) on the right, smiling with an American flag in the background.
Flanking and separating these portraits are small, narrow photos depicting the toll of armed conflict, including heavily bombed buildings, concrete rubble, and distressed civilians holding children.
The bottom half of the image consists of three larger, high-angle and aerial photographs showing the aftermath of casualties:
• On the left, an aerial view of an open field filled with numerous uniform rows of blue or grey tarps or objects.
• In the center, a sandy ground where a group of people stands over a row of bodies wrapped in white burial shrouds.
• On the right, an aerial view of a massive, densely arranged trench or cemetery packed with long rows of graves and crowds of people gathered at the site.

The takeaway from Bo French suggesting Asian students are “foreigners” and the tepid GOP response is that the Trump-era Republican Party is increasingly explicit about its belief that the only good immigrants, and the only real Americans, are white. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
The Afrikaner policy is illuminating, because it proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you are poor, you are a moocher, and if you are gainfully employed, you are taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian.

Bo French, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, has taken this idea a step further, suggesting that the only way to be an American is to be white and Christian.
