A Cruel Disaster As we celebrate our own close-to-home blessings this fraught Mother's Day, we honor thousands of mothers ripped from their kids by a barbarous regime impervious to the grief, terror, lifelong trauma they've inflicted. Of over 2,800 families, hundreds remain separated because inept thugs "lost" them. They must be reunited, a court says, never mind the thugs whining it's so hard: "The hallmark of a civilized society is measured by how it treats its people and those within its borders." Read more |

"I have not come into this world to make men better, but to make use of their weaknesses." - Adolf Hitler Read more |

Liberty Is Crumbling Talk about the sands of time. The winner of Texas Sandfest 2019 created this astounding image of Abraham Lincoln lamenting the state of the republic under the exquisitely apt rubric, "Liberty Is Crumbling." Argues British Columbia sculptor Damon Langlois, "We should realize that, and fight for it." Abe would likely agree: “America will never be destroyed from the outside," he wrote. "If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Read more |

No Way To Treat A Child Calling Israeli detention of Palestinian kids as young as 10 "state-sponsored child abuse," Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) has introduced a bill to ban Israel from using any of its bloody billions in U.S. "aid" to pay for "a gross human rights violation against children.” The bill, which would also fund treatment for kids, was welcomed by rights advocates; for former child prisoner Ahed Tamimi, it offers "Palestinian kids and our families a glimmer of hope (after) so many decades of darkness."

ICE swears they won't use the DNA info for any nefarious purpose, and God knows we can trust them. Read more |

Amerika: A Punch In the Face An artist of the merciless times, Robert Longo's new exhibit Amerika exposes the darkness of our political moment with chilling images - a brooding, factious White House, a 40,000-bullet Death Star for our 40,000 gun deaths, a surreal film of him ripping up Hannity/Khashoggi/Stormy Daniels photos - that are "as subtle as a head butt." “I am preaching to the choir," he says. "But I’m not preaching, I’m fucking screaming to the choir. What the fuck are you going to do about this?" Read more |

Emperors On Thin Ice Citing a "catastrophic breeding failure," a new study in Antarctic Science says the world's second largest emperor penguin colony, which once hosted up to 25,000 pairs of penguins, has seen virtually no births since 2016, when thousands of chicks drowned after the collapse of an Antarctic ice sheet. In a dispiritingly common refrain these days, scientists say the unexpectedly rapid decline - of both ice and penguins- is "not good news." Read more |
