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

For Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Labor Day weekend spewed out an inconvenient truth: Nine people killed and 52 wounded in the most violent weekend of the Chicago summer. Too many gunmen did not get the message that Chicago had crime under control. That might not constitute a “killing field,” to use the frequent Trumpian parlance about our city, but it sure was a long way from a peaceful urban meadow for a holiday picnic.

I'm sorry but this is insane www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

For roughly four years, survivors of Japanese American incarceration during World War II and their descendants have fought against the Lava Ridge Wind Project. They argued the 231-turbine development would desecrate the land where roughly 13,000 people of Japanese descent were imprisoned. Their forced removal and incarceration is now widely viewed as a blatant violation of civil rights. The Lava Ridge Wind Project, which was being developed by LS Power, a subsidiary of Magic Valley Energy, was approved in December 2024. The approval was part of an effort under the Biden administration to expand renewable energy projects on federal lands. The closest turbine to the historic site would be about 9 miles away. Wind turbines as tall as the Space Needle would mar the horizon, said Abo, who was 2 years old when she and her family were forced to move from their home in Juneau, Alaska, to the camp in 1942. The planned wind farm “just didn’t fit with the solemnity of the location,” she said.
