“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...

Engagement is “bold, precise”— c’mon, Hegseth, add in “experimental” to complete the Pearl reference!
It offends me on a deep bureaucratic level that the administration tries to claim it’s not a war when the “Secretary of War” is praising our “warfighters.”

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.
