A forgiveable error for someone who's been called an anagram of that late ruler's name a few too many times.

Google "Forrestal Fire" for the rich tradition of US ordnance that is more dangerous for us than them.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Probably a coincidence, but I notice that today’s #NoKings protest falls on the anniversary of the death of one of the worst kings of all time, King John, so here’s a short thread. 1/7

Nuclear War by Annie Jacobsen makes a similar point that we've forgotten about the prospect of getting nuked. A good educational read.

We are seeing dozens of these videos every day. It's happening all over the ocuntry. I know many people are outraged but it's just continuing unabated.

This feeling of impotence is devastating. How does it end? With the country emptied of brown people and dissidents in jail?
