The U.S. Department of War Continues to Blow Up Boats on the High Seas.
Trump reported a couple of days ago that our military conducted its 5th deadly strike on boats suspected of transporting drugs off Venezuela and in the Caribbean, increasing the total death toll to 27 from such strikes.
When I posted a reply to the article asking whether our military knew whether or not children were on board, I received 2 MAGA responses: The first response was that it simply didn't matter. And the second response was that drug cartels typically use children as shields, thereby implying: "So what's the problem?"
Apparently our military and its MAGA supporters consider the death of children in such strikes to be mere "collateral damage" the way indiscriminate bombings of cities in Ukraine and Gaza have been deemed "collateral damage"
Are we no better than those committing these barbaric acts?
Perhaps the concept of accepting "collateral damage" has seeped into the psyche of Donald J. Trump and his right-wing cabal of opportunists, an example of which would be the "collateral damage "suffered by our middle and lower classes in the reduction of their Medicaid and other health benefits to offset the tax breaks to billionaires and the $20 billion he just promised the President of Argentina to shore up their economy.
Today’s columnists have really done a bang up job on their columns! Coffee with the Contrarians with guest Jeremy Ben-Ami and Jen was especially informative and entertaining! Kudos Contrarians you all rock!
I no longer can open emails from contrarian because it won’t open unless I agree to receive notifications. I don’t want to receive notifications because they are disruptive. I check my email regularly.
I wonder if any else has this problem .. I love reading/hearing Jen, Norm & guests on a daily basis .. But every time i try to read the protest updates, see pics whatever .. the entire link just moves/slides/does not open .. very frustrating .. since the rest don’t do that am wondering what is going on
I love that sign, with the monarch butterfly. The only orange king we will ever have!

“Tell me what you’ve seen and heard. Not what you think.” So simple and so powerful. Let’s revive that.
By the time we got to trumpstop we were 10 million strong!
Thank you, Joni Mitchell!
