A screenshot of a tweet by Paul Sherman reacting to a report from Natasha Bertrand about a September 2 military strike that reportedly killed survivors. Sherman’s tweet says a horrified lawyer reacted with “You did what?!” Below is Bertrand’s tweet summarizing that the U.S. military has hit boats to sink them in multiple instances, but that this strike was uniquely one where survivors were deliberately killed.

Pete Hegseth, you in danger, girl.

The official voice of the US government is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us? Joking memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

“It’s classic, textbook propaganda.”

A screenshot of a tweet by Ken Dilanian quoting concerns that an order to kill boat occupants who are no longer able to fight would constitute a war crime. Below is a collage of nine infrared or night-vision aerial images showing small boats in the water. At the bottom is a caption referencing “Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike.”

During WWII a German vessel fired upon sailors floating in the sea after the Greek vessel Peleus was sunk. The officers were tried and convicted in the Peleus War Crimes trial.

"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

A screenshot of a tweet by Sami Gold stating that an image uses 11 stars to represent Confederate states. Below it is a U.S. Department of Labor post featuring the Lincoln Memorial statue with a ring of 11 bright stars behind the statue’s head. Stylized text reads “Americanism Will Prevail.”

They place their wink and nods to white supremacy and fascism everywhere. We ignore it at our peril.

MAGA's Epstein gaslighting is unsustainable To believe anything they say requires a complete suspension of common sense.

“To believe anything about Epstein coming from Trump and his cronies requires a complete suspension of common sense, which is why it’s good to remember that the simplest explanation is often the correct one: they’re lying.” — @justinglawe.bsky.social

Surprise! The “peace plan” is really just a plan for Trump, Witkoff, Don Junior and their friends to get rich.

Everything is a grift. (And the Hunter hunters are silent)

Time to ask: In whose interests is American foreign policy being conducted?

Stephen Miller’s Wife @katiemiller : “Can you cite the statute that makes the boat bombings illegal?”

@bakarisellers.bsky.social : “The due process
clause in the constitution.”

We are 3/4 of the way there. Please help if you can.

A screenshot of a social media post from “Republicans against Trump.” The post quotes Marco Rubio from 2016 criticizing Donald Trump. Below the text is a CNN interview screenshot showing a man in a suit speaking with U.S. and Florida flags behind him. The on-screen chyron reads: “RUBIO: TRUMP RHETORIC LIKE ‘THIRD-WORLD STRONG MEN’” and “Sen. Marco Rubio (R) Presidential Candidate.”

Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.

I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.

And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no personal qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with significant individual merits will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority. —Arthur Schopehaur

schopenhauer on stephen miller and every other fascist degenerate

I wrote a character in a book once who was *less* racist and evil than Stephen Miller and my editor told me I was just being excessive and needed to cut a bunch of stuff.

He’s going to fight drug trafficking by pardoning them?

Trump announced “a Full and Complete Pardon” for former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was found guilty by an American jury last year of conspiring to import cocaine into the US.

This is one of those why!? moments. The Trump administration abruptly halted an FDA effort that was designed to keep asbestos out of talc-based cosmetics.

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social

Reminder that all the "pardons" granted to Jan6ers whose convictions were still pending were auto-pen pardons.

X posting: “The fight for western civilization is just getting started.”

Homeland Security‘s social media gets more unhinged and master-race-y every day. Today they want us to believe that terrorizing immigrants is “the fight for western civilization.”

Do yourself a favor and listen to Weiss and Snyder:

“Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”

Indiana Republican Sen. Mike Bohacek, who has a daughter with Down syndrome, says he’ll vote No on redistricting following Trump’s “retarded” slur at Gov. Walz.
