Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
How to report on Nazis. And it's real, I checked thenightly.com.au/editions
I basically see our current foreign policy as a de facto admission that we know we can't "solve" Iran, Russia, Gaza, etc. That stuff is too difficult and complicated, so we go fuck with Greenland and Venezuela instead.
#OTD in 1945, the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, the agreement that formalized the surrender of Japan, was signed by Allied powers and Japan on the deck of USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. It marked the end of hostilities in World War II. This photo depicts one of the more controversial signings.
Back in the day, some Nazi rocket scientists were relocated to Huntsville, so I guess this is appropo.🤷♂️

You find signs like this all over our former colonies commemorating people who were taken by anonymous soviet secret policemen. In their 100s of thousands.
To be an authoritarian “All you need is a complete lack of conscience and restraint, an insatiable desire for control, worship and revenge, and a simple understanding of what makes people afraid. Trump’s reptilian intelligence meets that inglorious standard.” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
OTD in 1939 Adolf Hitler began his special military operation to protect ethnic Germans from persecution by Poland. Imagine such a bullshit excuse today

Deep Who? While a certain other shark (who was only ever documented there in 1999 and 2013) gets a lot of accolades for being the largest great white shark at Guadalupe, Scarboard, at 5.5m in length, is one of the largest individuals who was regularly documented at the island.

Schiff on the Bolton raid: "They're essentially going after any critic, any opposition in an effort to intimidate them. That's what this is about. It's not about Bolton per se. It's about anyone else that like Bolton might stand up to the president."
It’s accurate to blame this on DoD. But they work for one individual, who ultimately is responsible. If Trump allows this to happen, which seems to be the case, that is quite telling, no? Where is Rubio, the ostensible NSA? Supposed to coordinate policy across the govt… www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Zelensky's summit with Trump - A Ukrainian view. 1-1 in the bunker with Darth youtu.be/3wkXEBQuU_4
"'Take a teenager with more testosterone than wisdom, arm them with guns and masks, fast cars and—to top it off—dangle cash incentives for indiscriminate and speedy arrests. Mix in an ICE culture of impunity and overreach. Now, what could go wrong?'"
What Trump is doing in DC isn't about “law and order.” If he cared about that, he wouldn’t have gutted DC’s ability to fund its own police force. This is about Trump playing king at the expense of DC's 700K residents. The American people must stand against this abuse of power.

Lions aren’t just fierce hunters — they’re guardians of the ecosystem. However, habitat loss, illegal trade, & land disputes threaten their survival. This #WorldLionDay serves as a reminder that these majestic big cats deserve protection.
On Aug. 9, 1945, Nagasaki was devastated by an atomic bomb. That makes a visit to Kokura, the original target, a sobering reminder of all that would have been destroyed — and all that was where the bombs landed.
A convicted felon says will meet with an indicted for war criminal to discuss the invasion the UN declared illegal. It's not a "peace summit", it's a criminal conspiracy.
Someone get a copy of this book to #DeanCain aka Dean Tanaka. You’re one of the bad guys now. Maybe you don’t know it, but you should.

"It seems as if the authoritarian assault on the long-established and seemingly solid institutions of American democracy has reached a critical point....liberal democracy is being killed not in darkness but not in darkness but in broad daylight."
Secretary Rubio will never be accused of being the brightest crayon in a box.
This sense if entitlement is sickening...We have captains b!tching about having natural competition for after years of hauling in hundreds of fish per day largely unchallenged . For the record,I grew up as a Fl recreational angler & was genuinely thrilled to see sharks.
On July 31st, a Russian missile strike on Kyiv killed Mykyta, Sofiia, and their two-year-old son. Both Mykyta and Sofiia were only 23 years old. They had moved from Sloviansk to the capital after the start of the full-scale invasion and were renting an apartment.

Republicans in Texas just rolled out their proposed Congressional map that cut 5 Democratic seats out of thin air. Let’s be clear: these maps are not about representation, it’s a power grab to silence voters and suppress votes. (1/2)
80 years ago today right now (12:15 AM July 30, local time), as the USS Indianapolis steamed from Guam to Leyte, the Philippines, it was sunk by two Japanese torpedoes. Four days before, it had delivered the “Little Boy” atomic bomb casing and its highly enriched uranium projectile to Tinian Island.

"It's almost literary how much of a bad actor he is, on specifically the topic that had been animating to his political career." @timmiller.bsky.social talks Rubio's betrayal of anti-communism and gift to Maduro with @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast:
When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
56 Years Ago Today:
OTD in 1944 the July 20 plot to assassinate Hitler failed. It left the madman with an injured ear, heroic status in his cult & a maniacal sense of his invincibility.
Life can be hard when you're stupid.
It's not difficult to understand. Murdoch doesn't give a damn who's who and what's what as long as he makes money. The Journal's audience is not the same as the Fox News audience. Letting the story go was a business decision. His bases are covered elsewhere, and he's faced better lawyers than this.

🔥 #OTD in #History 18 July 64 AD, a terrible fire began in #Rome. Extinguished 9 days later, two thirds of Rome, then ruled over by Emperor #Nero, was destroyed. Did Nero, as legend holds, start the fire so he could rebuild the city in his own image? It remains a mystery.
John Lewis walked, bled, and lived for justice. Five years since his passing, we honor him the only way we know how: By refusing to stay silent and getting in more Good Trouble.
