Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Hegseth: "We will keep pressing. We will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

That's from the official Dept of "War" transcript. "No quarter" means no prisoners will be taken and since the Hague Convention of 1899, it is considered a war crime.

Impeach Hegseth.

How a NJ bill to protect migrants has morphed since ex-governor’s veto • New Jersey Monitor After a migrant rights bill was vetoed, lawmakers rewrote it so it could become law. Immigrant advocates say it has been watered down.

This is a goddam outrage: Who are the NJ Democrats watering down protections for immigrants?

Crys Matthews, "Sleeves Up"

I know it feels like
this is the end,
but if we stop hoping, we stop fighting
and that's how a tyrant wins.
It's not a marathon,
it's not a sprint.
It's a thousand day relay race,
so rest and resist again.

After Trump’s handling of the COVID crisis, who could’ve imagined he’d bungle his war on Iran?

The Billionaires’ War The ultrawealthy put Trump in power but other people will pay the price

Cook the rich. Then eat them.

When the going gets tough,
Trump goes golfing.

To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.

Polling Shows Democrats Aren't Too 'Woke,' They're Too Weak The idea that Democrats are weirdly and extremely obsessed with "identity politics" and pronouns is a right wing propaganda fiction not supported by polling data, and Democratic party leaders should n...

Over at the newsletter I wrote about how establishment Democrats' problem isn't going "too far left" on "identity politics," it's being feckless invertebrates in the face of autocracy and unchecked corporate power.

It looks like a war. It talks like a war. It walks like a war.
It’s a fucking war.
And we need to oppose it with all we’ve got.

It looks like a war. It talks like a war. It walks like a war.
It’s a fucking war.

No more excuses.

Only they couldn’t find a snowplow in Louisiana, so they bolted on a locomotive cow catcher instead.

I’m waiting for Trump to say we’re gonna take Iran’s oil.
Or did he already?

War Is Expensive for the Little People Operation Epic Fury will cost billions that could have been put to much better use

Krugman: “Ordinary Americans feel that Trump is setting billions of dollars on fire with no idea how that is supposed to work out, and that they will end up paying the price. And they’re right.”

We need Democrats like Bayly Winder who take a strong stand against Trump’s lawless and reckless wars of choice.

Oh c’mon, after he stops the attacks he can claim that this is yet another war that he ended. A bold move to claim another Peace Prize, at least from FIFA.

The front page of the NYT.

How would you know that the attack was 1) illegal and 2) w/o clear justification?

PUTINS PUPPET 30 sec video YouTube video by Dan Preston

Hillary tried to warn us.

So on August 10, 2019:
Trump had the motive to silence Epstein before he could corroborate;
Epstein was in Federal custody;
Trump was President at the time;
Security footage missing.
I’m no conspiracy theorist.

ICE agents wear masks for the same reason the KKK did.

No trying to be glib. To produce art that connects with people requires that an artist is sensitive to one’s environment (people, nature, whatever), able to process those experiences thoughtfully, and then create in a spirit of sharing and generosity. Not exactly how MAGA approaches culture.

Art has a well-known liberal bias.

Dear Billionaires:

We can do this the easy way. Or the hard way.
