What the hell are we doing?
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
They are putting back memorials that celebrate the Lost Causr and the nobility of the confederacy because removing such erases history. But they continue to erase any history they don't like, which highlights minority achievements while pointing to our troubled history. See also the NPS.
Everyone's on fire tonight!

They want you to leave your phones at home so you can’t take video of them. If you leave your phone at home, take a go-pro with you. Cameras out, America!
“ICE is quietly building up its ability to spy on Americans' phones

The agency activated a $2 million contract with Paragon, a service that offers the ability to remotely hack into someone's phone.

[Also] ICE entered into an $11 million contract for Cellebrite devices…to break into a locked phone”
I need to see this in a newscast.
What is this from and what is the context? It almost sounds like he's made about affordability, but directing his anger in the wrong direction.
Democrats 1: Look at over a over a million votes for Mamdani - we need to go further left and embrace socialism!

Democrat 2: Look at the huge victory margins in NJ and VA! We need to run moderates!

Me: Great victories all over! Let's stop clawing at each other and focus on stopping fascism!
Whatever. Keep picking dumb fights with people you probably agree with just to make yourself feel smarter.
Um, no. That' a weird take on what I said.

I'm saying we need to start voting for a president from a younger generation such as Gen X or Millennial. I'd prefer Gen X but I'm biased.

We keep voting in people from the same generation, or older over and over; we need to make a change.
This is ICE.
CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @mluckovichajc)
Why do we keep electing Baby Boomers? Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump - all baby boomers. Biden was the "silent generation" between Boomers and Greatest Generation.

I have really amazing kids
Clearly illegal.

The supposedly "Christian" administration attacking both the freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion in violation of the 1st Amendment and contrary to Christian teaching and values.

What they do to the least of us will be remembered.

He has no concept of strategic planning. He talks like a guy who watched too many action movies.
The US still has jurisdiction over crimes in international waters committed by and at the direction of American citizens.
That's not the way the ICC works. The boat killings are Crimes Agaist Humanity, but its very rare for non-state signatories to be prosecuted and that's only when national courts are unwilling/unable to do so. We need to win in 96/98 and do the work ourselves. Only if we can't is the ICC an option.
I really don't understand the fascination with trials at The Hague. They can and should be tried here, by Federal and State Courts. ICC prosecutions make no sense.
