If they are hitting water infrastructure in Iran, that’s a crime against humanity on an enormous scale. I planned to publish something on Iran’s water crisis this week but it obviously got bumped. Iran was already in a critical state pre war, destroying water infrastructure will kill innocent people
Unfortunately, Markwayne Mullin's associate's degree in construction management actually probably does mean he's the person in the regime with the most personal experience with Hispanic immigrants.
Donald Trump's "truth" post naming Markwayne Mullin as head of DHS.
Feudalism in a suit and tie, picking the head of "homeland security" because he's good at hitting people.

Second customer of the day was a producer from Al Jazeera and woof, haven't seen someone more in need of coffee in a while.
Good enough that I got blocked for answering the question apparently.
I also didn't include NATO wars the US joined like Kosovo and Libya (2011), or Op. Ocean Shield, Prosperity Guardian, or the capture of the MV Morning Glory because you specified *land* war, or the many wars and coups in Latin America aided by Carter's CIA (Funding the Contras started in '79.)
Operation Uphold Democracy (1994, Haiti)
Op. Infinite Reach (1998, Afghanistan and Sudan)
Op. Observant Compass (2011-17, Uganda, DRC, South Sudan, and CAR)
Op. Enduring Freedom (2013-24, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali)
Op. Inherent Resolve (2014-now, Syria)
Op. Decisive Storm (2015-2021, Yemen)
"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school
the reality is that for many many people in the US, Iran is an idea––a comic book villain that has been integral to our national storytelling project for decades––rather than a country where almost 100 million people live. people with hopes, dreams, and complex lives just like ours. fucking hell💔
seems obvs to me that mamdani gets far because of his charm. why do "male self improvement" types always focus on things like looksmaxxing instead of personalitymaxxing or charmmaxxing?

Got to be the first one out in the snow in my stretch of Brooklyn.
Big deal, nobody knows how to read anymore. Is the world worse off? It is? Well if that were true I'd have read about it somewhere
hey boss if this AI is gonna speed up my work so much can I get a six hour day for eight hours pay? feels like that'd really help a lotta peopl -- boss? you still there? boss?
the concept of The Customer enables anyone with a few dollars to become an unimpeachable King whose honor and status must be respected. leaving aside everything else this is why capital must be destroyed
I really don't think the manufacturers appreciate just how much wearing these is going to put their customers at risk of getting their asses kicked.
The version I always heard was he was "the little corporal/emperor" as a joke from his troops because he acted like he was in charge really early in his career before he'd gotten promoted enough to be giving orders like that.
Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”
This is why we need to be telling our stories.
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
My personal hell. The guys sitting right in front of the espresso machine for the past hour or so have been very loudly discussing their trips to Israel, Crypto, and Cormac McCarthy.
I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

The original po-boy (French fries, the crumbly end bits of roast beef "debris" that fell off when you cut up the rest of the roast, and gravy) is also an excellent choice.
You gotta be a real dumb piece of shit to be placated by body cams. You gotta be unfit to operate a car and not know where the sun goes at night if you think there's anything close to a win in here.
Not a fan of the idea that the only fictional part of Dennis Cooper's "Marbled Swarm" is that they're charismatic speakers.
“are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” has been knocking around my head all day
Until every taqueria is open and partying without fear of ICE, I'm not letting off the gas
a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm.
every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.
The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.
