You are not wrong to be angry. You are not wrong to grieve. That is what it means to love and to see the people you love hurt.
We must turn that love, that anger, and all of that sorrow into action.
We must rise up as leaders, we must be loud in the streets, we must be bold and not give into fear.

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
I follower a few defense experts.
Seeing them all straight-up declare this a war crime without any him-and-hawing is uhm
Disconcerting.
Pete Hegseth must resign, as does Stephen Miller. Donald Trump should be subpoenaed before Congress to answer for HIS policy.

Imagine it being your dream to be an animator and overworking yourself at a studio but ultimately making stuff you're proud of only to have massively evil corporations make it utterly unwatchable specifically because they have contempt for the idea that people like you deserve to have your jobs.

Allowing companies that can only exist because they pay workers slave wages while getting subsidies from the US government isn't always realistic, either, Donna. Perhaps there will be a reckoning along those lines in the near future.

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

it's pretty galling to invite a pathological liar on your show and allow him to slander a fellow female journalist completely unchecked—and then publish it. jacqueline sweet is a damn good reporter who published a lot of major stories about santos. this sucks.
George Santos denies being a loyalist, denies being sycophantic, denies even liking the framing of the question, and yet can’t put his finger on why Trump freed him of all of the people begging for a commutation.
