On this day, 18 June 1943, 18-year-old Ukrainian anti-Nazi fighter Maria Kislyak was executed alongside her two friends Fedor Rudenko and Vasiliy Bugrimenko. She had lured two Nazi officers into the woods for her friends to kill. The first time she was arrested by the Gestapo but she did not confess and had to be released. But after the second time the Gestapo rounded up 100 civilians and stated they would kill them all unless the killers came forward. Maria and her friends confessed and she claimed to be the leader of the group. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1149016228616859/?type=3
This was the first wild bear we saw at Yellowstone! The night before, husband had pulled over at nearly every turnout to scan for bears and saw nothing. This was driving back to the campground from Mammoth. Coming up the hill we saw cars stopped in the road, assumed probably buffalo (or as husband started calling them, buffalosers), and were thrilled to discover it was actually a bear along the road. She was not a very large bear, we’re assuming either a very small female or a sub adult. She walked up the shoulder, then right as she came up to the van decided to cross the road, where she took off up the hill.
The full quote is even worse than the link makes it sound:
“I’ve been to detention facilities where I’ve walked up to these individuals that are so-called minors, 17 or under,” Morgan saidon “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in January. “I’ve looked at them and I’ve looked at their eyes, Tucker — and I’ve said that is a soon-to-be MS-13 gang member. It’s unequivocal.”
This motherfucker just looked at a child and decided he was evil, and considers that “unequivocal” enough to go on TV and brag about it.
“So-called minors, 17 or under” Bitch what?? That’s what being a minor means????
Take this seriously.
This is an important window into authoritarian psychology, though: the belief that people just intrinsically *are* good or evil, and that it’s easy to distinguish between them. To the fascist, there is no reason to ask why someone would join MS-13 or whether it could be prevented; and you can’t argue against punishing innocent children because to this goose-stepping bald chucklefuck, innocence and guilt aren’t about what you *do*, they’re about what you *are*. There is no ‘becoming’, only ‘being’.
His name is Mark Morgan and he’s Acting Director of ICE. There is no scheduled hearing in the Senate for his appointment. He could serve as Acting Director indefinitely.

If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
