Even if all of what you said were true / how do people who are not making the moves and who have no power to stop it become responsible for the choices?

wanted abuse. They wanted an abuser. They wanted a rapist. They wanted a sadist.

This is what they voted for. Republican war mongering, raping, brutal, sadists win and non-sadists don't.

The problem is who we are as a country and that refuse to accept it. Only then can we fix it.

About the commentary:

A #Republican did this. A #Republican congress refuses to stop it. A #Republican is spouting war crimes language at the head of the DOD.

Yet, #Democrats are to blame.

Sharing for the video, not the comments:

Oil access from the Middle East is toast.

Other countries are shutting down schools and limiting access to fuel.

Fertilizer for the world comes through the Straight.

What happens when the world experiences the same energy poverty we forced on Cuba?

The Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission is pushing for the school district to adopt a restorative justice approach to discipline, seeking to rebuild relationships instead of simply punishing students who caused harm.

Trump defense lawyer John Lauro faced unusually testy pushback from co-panelists & DOJ alums attending ABA conference.
Lauro praised Trump DOJ for being in a "better place" now that Jack Smith isn't victimizing the president.

Important for pro-democracy Spaniards to know that the Minnesota State Fair has a paella truck with the tagline The Hotdish of Spain.

Tweet from The Washington Post reporting that more than 630 people, including at least 91 children, were killed in Lebanon in the past week as the U.S.–Israeli war with Iran spread to the country. The image shows a nighttime city skyline with multiple explosions and smoke rising from strikes.

The war has now displaced well over half a million people in Lebanon and killed so many innocents. Our government must bear responsibility for its part in this.

CNN at the site of an Israeli strike in Lebanon that killed 9 people, including 5 children:

"We're told it was a yogurt factory by the neighbors here."

"The children's bodies, we're told, are in pieces and are going to take a while to identify the DNA so that they can actually do a burial."

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

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose β€˜targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

The FBI routinely scours this intercepted data to read the private messages of Americans without a warrant, a practice privacy advocates call a β€œbackdoor search.”

In a floor speech earlier this week, Wyden warned that Congress is debating reauthorization without a complete picture of the government’s activities. β€œThere’s another example of secret law related to Section 702, one that directly affects the privacy rights of Americans,” he said, noting that successive administrations have refused to declassify the matter. β€œWhen it is eventually declassified, the American people will be stunned that it took so long and that Congress has been debating this authority with insufficient information.”

The internal oversight mechanisms meant to check the government’s sweeping powers have been systematically dismantled over the past year. FBI director Kash Patel, who previously criticized the warrantless searches, flipped on the issue after taking office. He now defends the program as a β€œcritical tool.”

Congregate care (group care like group homes or shelters) always, 100% of the time, without failure - become rape zones.

Not that everyone who works there is a rapist but rapists are paid to work there, they get caught, and they are not charged.

It is inevitable.
