My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

For those inclined to make the same arguments as the dipshit I just blocked:
1: The US involvement in the overthrow of Hawaii was obviously illegal at the time, not just in retrospect.
2: If you need something to be "among the most" bad things we've done to get outraged, that's a you problem.

I'm not a fan of yesterday's "military misadventure," but I'm also writing from a state that was a nation before American business interests conspired with the American ambassador to secure the help of American Marines to overthow the government.
"Among the most"? Pressing 'f' to doubt.

The first sentence of any public statement needs to make your main point crystal clear. This is Communications 101. If instead you cede that space to first agree with your opponent, you're a fucking idiot.
you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks”
whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to”
don’t give them cover on it

Finally, someone called out my favorite obsession on TikTok. The White River should go north. King and Pierce Counties had a 100-year agreement to manage it. You will not be surprised that King never fulfilled their contractual obligations. 1/4 www.tiktok.com/t/ZTr3vNrEk/
Back in 1906 the flooding in Washington state was so intense that Tukwila was under 10’ of water, until White River accidentally changed course. #wa #history #explorewashington #trivia

Washington State leaders need to intervene here.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

It’s not just that our tax code is the most regressive, it’s also highly localized. We rely on local revenue to fund basic services, so wealthy areas get more service and poor areas, where the needs are greatest, get left behind.

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.
Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
