Anyone who says “be normal” betrays that they have an implicit value system of who is considered normal and who is not, and when you have that, you will always value some people and traits over another. They will always replicate hierarchies of power in the long run.

the survivors could've been retrieved and put on trial, where they could flip, give information incriminating higher-ups, so we could take actually meaningful action. but nope! we'll just keep using $33 million dollar drones to destroy go-fast boats that in no way could even come close to US shores.

there are many unique histories here (which, it should go without saying, should never be forgot) that might provide some kind of insight to the cinema folk just now arriving, but only one experience rang somewhat close to my own: every day, without fail, I hated myself and everything I was into.

a little while back I managed to pull in a OTA channel and saw my first ICE ad. it was animated and geared towards children, urging them (again, children) not to come to the US.
but like, I'm in Montana, seeing this on the air. why? that horse would have left the barn long ago. my $ paid for this!

I know this is the website where basically no one watches cable but there's this DHS ad with Kristi Noem telling people to self-deport and it's reached the point where my 75 year old mother yells obscenities at the TV that I usually see typed out in League of Legends lobbies
