‘The dinosaurs didn’t know what was coming, but we do’: Marina Silva on what needs to follow Cop30
When we overlooked the torture of prisoners during the George W Bush admin, I knew we were past the idea of a 'moral' military.
Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

Nate Silver and others continue to rehash Biden's mental fitness as a way to distract themselves from the decrepit mental state of the current president.
Not only that. Silver and guys like Alex Thompson don't spend a lot of time acknowledging the heinous, barbaric nature of Trump policy.

“They appear to be quietly killing field offices,” one staffer said. The plan comes after Trump carried out the largest staffing cut in SSA history, cutting the workforce by around 7,000. The cut left one worker for every 1,480 beneficiaries, resulting in understaffed offices and phone lines.
