An accurate comment on our absurd present

From Climate Injustice by Fredericke Otto:

“Imagine a city. a country where a group
of powerful people go around causing
indirect but catastrophic harm
to thousands of people. These people aren’t
on the run, and they don’t hide…And
yet nobody does anything.”

Never Trumper Joe Walsh: "Any Democrat running for President in 2028 must pledge to tear down Trump's ballroom."

And Steve Schmidt spells out why this should be the single issue that unifies every part of the anti-Trump coalition:

Family of victim in Trump drug boat killings files first formal complaint

Source: The Guardian

A family in Colombia filed a petition on Tuesday with the Washington DC-based Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging that the Colombian citizen Alejandro Carranza Medina was illegally killed in a US airstrike on 15 September. The petition marks the first formal complaint over the airstrikes by the Trump administration against suspected drug boats, attacks that the White House says are justified under a novel interpretation of law.

…The complaint was filed by Pittsburgh-based human rights lawyer Dan Kovalik. “On September 15, 2025, the United States military bombed the boat of Alejandro Andres Carranza Medina,” the filing says, “which Mr Carranza was sailing in the Caribbean off the coast of Colombia. Mr Carranza was killed in the process of this bombing.”

Kovalik identified Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, as the perpetrator, based on Hegseth’s own statements. “From numerous news reports, we know that Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of Defense, was responsible for ordering the bombing of boats like those of Alejandro Carranza Medina and the murder of all those on such boats. Secretary Hegseth has admitted that he gave such orders despite the fact that he did not know the identity of those being targeted for these bombings and extra-judicial killings,” the filing goes on.

…Carranza, 42, appears to have been killed in the second strike of the Trump administration’s bombing campaign, on 15 September. The administration has publicly disclosed 21 strikes on alleged drug boats. Carranza’s family says he was a fisher who would often set out in search of marlin and tuna.

A man who took part in the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol and was pardoned by Donald Trump earlier this year has been arrested on multiple child sexual abuse charges in Florida, according to local authorities.

The man, identified as 44-year-old Andrew Paul Johnson, was taken into custody in August in Tennessee and extradited to Florida where, according to arrest records, he faces charges of lewd and lascivious child molestation of a child under 12, lewd and lascivious child molestation of a child between 12 and 16, as well as lewd and lascivious exhibition, and transmission of material harmful to a minor.

…A probable cause affidavit alleges that in July, the Hernando county sheriff’s office received a report that “two juveniles had fallen victim to lewd and lascivious acts over a many-month span.” The report states that officers spoke with the mother of one of the children, who said that she discovered that Johnson, who was described as her ex-boyfriend who formerly lived in the house, had been sending “inappropriate” Discord messages to her son. The woman said she asked her son about the messages and also asked if Johnson had “done or said anything inappropriate” to which she said her son told her “that between April 1 2024 and October 2024” Johnson had “molested him three times”, beginning when he was 11 years old.

The report also alleges that Johnson told the child that “he was pardoned for storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and he was being awarded $10,000,000 as a result of being a ‘jan 6er’” and that he would be “putting him in his will to take any money he had left over”. Investigators state that “this tactic was believed to be used to keep” the child “from exposing what Andrew had done to him”.
