The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

No one before Sam successfully raised a child, which is why the human species went extinct in Mesopotamia. Seriously, the best way to read this is that countless billions of humans did just fine but Sam is not as competent and self-reliant as them, and that's what AI wants us to be: dependent.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

The SpEd system in this country is set up in a way that families know they're entitled to certain things but also know they have to fight tooth and nail to get what they deserve.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions:
1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate
2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition

Funny they can't say the name of protests because saying "No Kings" makes it soooo clear it's the opposite of a "hate America rally"
Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

We are not yet in a dictatorship. Trump and his claque are making a run at it. But if you want to keep a democracy, you have to actually remember that you still have one.
This thread illustrates imo why screaming that America is now a fascist dystopia doesn't really work because the terminally online people greatly underestimate how hard it is for the median voter who isn't plugged in 24/7 to wrap their heads around the idea that we are now in a dictatorship
Okay. Let me try this another way, and see if that works.
I was a boy with relatives in Greece during the time of the Colonels, a pretty scary military junta. Some would say it was fascist: Militarism, anti-communism, nostalgia, etc.
But no.

Does the Rapture work like New Year's Eve, where it starts in Australia and slowly works its way across the globe? I guess what I'm asking is, what time should I expect to be spirited to my heavenly reward because I've got a dentist thing at 11 I'd rather not go to.
