here's my take on Woke 2. the thing about Woke 1 is that it's born from the end of history era, when it was important to re-discover forms of oppression that had been denied or hidden. but this led to a [clears throat] hermeneutics of suscpicion, and ultimately paranoia and internecine factionalism

This is great, now Team Trump is acknowledging that illegal orders were given to kill survivors of the initial strike, the only question is who gave them? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Pete Hegseth denies he gave orders to ‘kill everybody’ on alleged ‘narco-boat’
Defense secretary called reports about his role in strike as ‘fake news’ intended to discredit US military

Exactly 80 years ago this precise moment (8:40am Hamburg time, Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth needs to lawyer up immediately.
The Peleus War Crimes Trial
After sinking the Greek steamer Peleus in 1944, the captain ordered his crew to attack the survivors, three sailors survived and faced their attackers in a war crime trial.

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

"I'm going to tax the everloving shit out of the rich people who made your life miserable and put every masked thug who broke the law or traitor who wrecked the government for their own profit in prison" I admit is too long for a sign, but at the very least this should be the spirit of the thing.

This is what Mark Kelly and five Democrats warned military personnel about. Do not obey illegal orders. What’s an illegal order? Kill survivors.

One of the goals of rightwing politics is shrinking the size of the middle class because people without resources are more easily controlled. Guess what happens when you push people off their insurance?
Trump wants to shift the cost of ACA subsidized health care entirely onto Americans who depend on it. The uninsured Americans will spur a public health problem with more expensive premiums for the insured as hospitals look to recoup the loss.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Lots of little signs of rebellion against Trump within the GOP.
Here’s another example:
Florida Republicans are ignoring his decision to ordain Byron Donalds as the next GOP #FLGov nominee, and a nasty primary is taking shape.

It now appears Byron Donalds will be forced to grind it out in a race that could turn bitter and nasty quickly.

I agree with this. People with the below attitude actually don’t believe in American exceptionalism.
The reactionary worldview is shot through with a deep-seated disdain for America.
In this post, for example, the underlying assumption is that there is nothing special about America's institutions and laws, its civil services, its patterns of life and social norms, its historical developments.

This paragraph was written by Gunter Grass. He was looking back at the 1930s from the perspective of 1983. We will do the same some day and come to a similar conclusion about Trump.
