No imperialist wars of aggression for oil company profits!
This Trump war will in no way benefit average Americans. But average Americans will be asked to spill their blood and spend their tax dollars to seize oil so oligarchs can further enrich themselves with it.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.
Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

It's also "political violence" to steal years off people's lives by depriving them of shelter, stripping away health care, and gutting environmental protections — while funneling more and more wealth to the ultra-rich.

I just read about the Trump administration canceling a $14 million federal grant to end raw sewage seeping into yards and spreading hookworm in Alabama's Black Belt, and not one headline will refer to this as "political violence."

In the MAGA cultural universe, getting power from wind or the sun is somehow less authentically blue-collar than pulling petroleum out of the ground. As renewables get better, Trump is going to damage our economy over that fiction.

Except misogyny is always a good sell! It’s not inexplicable or freaky. It’s not niche. This is just the fappening circa 2025, now updated with a hyper personalized experience for violating your favorite female celebrity
The only glimmer of hope I see in all this horrific bullshit is that the tech bros are pushing weirder and weirder shit by the day, inexplicable freak stuff, at an unsustainable rate for the normies, and soon they'll be sent back into their basements like the traditional nerds of old.
