what is becoming clear is that the means are the ends. The weapons aren't being used in pursuit of anything; Hegseth's goal is to be using the weapons, a far more deliverable objective than 'regime change'.

Four panel b&w Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. In panels 1-3, Calvin has a watering can and addressing himself to a few flowers in the ground, with increasing stridency: “SO YOU WANT SOME WATER, HUH? WELL, IVE GOT A BIG CAN OF IT HERE.” “ITS UP TO ME TO DECIDE IF YOU GET WATER OR NOT! I CONTROL YOUR FATE! YOUR VERY LIVES ARE IN MY HANDS!” “WITHOUT ME YOU'RE AS GOOD AS DEAD! WITHOUT ME, YOU DON'T....” In the fourth panel, it is pouring rain. Calvin looks nonplussed.
Came across this old Calvin and Hobbes cartoon today and immediately thought about the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
*glances at headlines*
No, no reason.
I'm still angry tbh.
And now the same knuckleheads have something to say about Rep. Crockett's campaign. She stood in the gap for everyone, yet she could only count on Black folks (93%) to have her back at the polls.
It's not about flipping the Senate but flipping over tables.

Gerald Horne discusses his latest work, The Counter Revolution of 1893: The Hawaii Coup and the Roots of U.S. Imperialism in the Asia-Pacific Basin. He connects 19th-century imperialism with present-day aggression against Iran on Black Agenda Report radio.

alt-text: article shows a now-deceased Black man in shirt and tie, smiling, with Boston Globe headline saying "Haitian man living in Boston dies in ICE custody, family says"
The Globe could have kept that "family says".
It's a fact.
A man was allowed to die due to an untreated tooth infection.

Two BHA staff members speak with a resident at the Boston Housing Authority information table, sharing resources during the Mayor’s Office Hours event.
Thank you to the residents, community leaders, & City departments who joined the first Mayor’s Office Hours. BHA was glad to have a table & connect with residents, share resources, & answer questions!
@mayorwu.boston.gov & @communityengagement.boston.gov brought City Hall into our neighborhoods!
What possible reason would anyone who is paying one shred of attention have to believe anything this fraudulent administration says about voluntarily REFUNDING the spoils of their fraudulent activities?

Nooooo! What about Vera Mysteria & the Food Court 5000, her Lloyd Center indoor walking group for mall walkers and 1980s enthusiasts?
I feel so sad
“There’s ramps, there’s bathrooms, there’s water, it’s temperature controlled, there’s security. If there are people with mobility challenges, or people who don’t feel comfortable, or people who want to take breaks, there’s no pressure around it.”

Thinking of Du Bois’s open letter to Nkrumah. Nearly seven decades on, as empire’s missiles strike Ghanaian peacekeepers in Lebanon, as neocolonialism continues its plunder nearly everywhere, may we not forget freedom, peace, and socialism.
Imperfect is my favorite tense to conjugate in Spanish because you use the same -IR endings for the conditional. Same for French.
Plus the -AR endings, all them -aba's, are just fun. 🎊
