“Strong Fish Smell In Cabin,” And Other Pilot-To-Ground Texts | Defector Pilot is one of those jobs with a rarefied air around it. I see the uniform, and I immediately think, That person knows and can do things that I cannot. If you’ve ever seen Catch Me If You Can, that…

Turns out a lot of pilots are in the cockpit thinking about sports scores:

The Killing That Won't Let Go | Defector Grief has no expiration date, and there’s no statute of limitations on murder. Twenty-one years ago this summer, Steve Cornejo was shot in the back and died in the courtyard of an apartment complex…

Hard to explain but JD Vance is the most successful failure of all time

This is insane.

I Guess We're Just Waiting Around To See If This Demented Psychopath Kills Everyone | Defector There is a particular indignity that comes from living in America, derived from the experience of waking up in the morning to see reports that Donald Trump has said something profoundly evil, and then...

We are far, far past "forever damaging America".

If only a dozen Republicans in Congress found the will, they could impeach and remove him today.

"The common sense of mankind demands that law shall not stop with the punishment of petty crimes... It must also reach men who possess themselves of great power and make deliberate and concerted use of it to set in motion evils which leave no home in the world untouched." —Robert Jackson, Nuremberg

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

This is a supervillain monlogue. I will never understand how anyone can watch this man say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and fail to recognize evil when they see it.

One thing I should like to say on this day which may be memorable for others as well as for us Germans: In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and have usually been ridiculed for it. During the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance the Jewish race which only received my prophecies with laughter when I said that I would one day take over the leadership of the State, and with it that of the whole nation, and that I would then among many other things settle the Jewish problem. Their laughter was uproarious, but I think that for some time now they have been laughing on the other side of their face. Today I will once more be a prophet: If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!

Trump today vs Hitler’s infamous Reichstag speech in 1939

The military must not follow any orders to destroy "a whole civilization." Sane members of Congress should say this loudly now.

These are orders given "under a black flag," and US military personnel should refuse to carry them out.

There it is.

While families can’t afford day care, health care, or even their rent, Donald Trump is willing to spend your money instead on a never-ending war in the Middle East.

Trump is Santa Claus for America’s wealthiest alcoholics

Is he dead yet?

All of this.

I mean, good, but it’s still a sign of profound dysfunction if this isn’t 9-0. A justice who will sign off on this is effectively announcing there’s nothing too flagrantly unconstitutional to get their blessing if a Republican president does it.

Potomac Tracon is ATC zero… Again.

It’s like this administration is actively trying to destroy the airline industry.

Cool. How many were denied due process?

Imagine if we had a @democrats.org party with a spine.

The Corporate Miscreants Driving the Affordability Crisis These 20 firms all have something in common: Their CEOs get paid millions, their workers are being pushed onto public assistance, and voters are fed up with them.

It’s bad enough when your business model essentially plans for government programs to provide the money you’re not willing to pay.

Thinking a lot about the book “Debt of Honor” by Tom Clancy right about now.

In a functional country based on law and order, Sheehy would be arrested for battery

Amazing how these fuckers find their spine as they’re headed out the door.

One Riot, One Ranger - Wikipedia

The Texas Rangers, the only @mlb.com club to not host a Pride Night, rolled out a “new” statue at the ballpark today…a statue removed from Dallas Love Field due to the problematic (read: racist) history of the man it was modeled after. I’m so done with this team.
