They bombed without warning a non-threatening small boat, which is insane and a violation of international law even if it was carrying contraband which we have no way of knowing, and then gleefully shared it as a snuff video.

Also, this is the reasoning of a child: "You say crime is down but actually, crime is still happening." Why is everyone with any power in America allergic to simply saying that Trump's actions are bad, full stop? Everything has to be a bizarre dance around obvious realities

Not a lot of people know this, but it’s actually Peak Performance for a President when the country is constantly spectating if you’re dead and/or a pedophile.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Anyway...Dems need to break out of the impulse to see 200 white people protesting against Covid restrictions as "the voice of the people which we must heed" while seeing 10X as many people protesting racist police violence as "a niche special interest group that's out of step with real Americans."

You can draw the line in a lot of places to discuss how healthcare should be managed. It could be about a specific procedure, a specific facility, a specific region, etc. You walked into a discussion about how a state should manage it and talked about how the nation should manage it.

"I'm proposing a post healthcare society where no one ever gets sick or injured." "I'm proposing patient A is a better candidate than B for this one transplant we can do" It's understandable why you may not realize it, but you're trying to have a conversation about a different but related issue.

Yeah but loneliness is a theme for multiple characters in the movie, not just a man or men characters. But the big bad is a guy who goes from a cheery fellow who's happy even in mortal danger to a literal black void who sucks the life out of everything around them until they consume themselves.

I actually think the Robocop remake gets a bad rap. It tried to say something about the dangers of automated killing but I think if it had come out more recently and audiences made the connection to the dangers of AI, it would've resonated a lot more.

Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict

It is also outrageous that @cnn.com @washingtonpost.com and @nytimes.com are reporting she has been fired rather than accurately stating the administration is illegally attempting to fire her.

When it comes to crime, I think a gunmen murdering two children in a Minneapolis church is more concerning than a nanny taking kids to a playground in Los Angeles or a homeless person laying on a bench in DC. Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.
