This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

It's considered uncouth to say this but the Republican Party is explicitly an ardently anti-Christian political movement wearing a crumbling mask of concern for Christian values, while actively working to destroy traditional Christian institutions and suppress religious leaders.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Op Margraten zijn twee panelen over zwarte Amerikaanse bevrijders van Nederland opeens weg. ‘Past bij beleid van de regering-Trump’
Op de Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Margraten is het opeens stil geworden rond de zwarte Amerikanen die hielpen Nederland bevrijden. Twee panelen die hun bijdrage herdachten – én wezen op hun strijd tegen racisme binnen het leger – werden zonder toelichting verwijderd.

But more importantly: Fentanyl is 50x stronger than Heroin, and a lot cheaper to produce. So by blowing up random boats (which aren't even carrying fentanyl), it just increases the cost of other drugs, causing more and more dealers to substitute them with fentanyl to maintain profit margins. 4/5
