DOJ moved in February to abandon its indictment/conviction of Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress. SCOTUS, as expected, has cleared the way for that to happen. politico.com/news/2026/02/0…

Has Franklin Graham praised Trump yet for issuing a profane post on Easter Sunday?

Trump never wanted this war, he was misled into it, and now is stuck trying to get out of it as Iran refuses to give him an off-ramp

“In 2009, archaeologists pulled a 1,800-year-old Roman shield from the mud in Syria—intact, untouched, and still bearing the marks of its last battle. The soldier who dropped it is long gone. But what he left behind is a time machine.” At ancient site of Dura-Europos, a frontier city on the edge of the Roman Empire, a team of archaeologists unearthed something no one had ever found before: the only complete Roman legionary shield ever recovered. Dating to the early 3rd Century CE, the shield was preserved by the unique anaerobic conditions of the soil—essentially, the lack of oxygen stopped it from rotting. It was still whole, still shaped like a curved rectangle, still bearing its iron boss and bronze fittings. The last soldier who held it had lost it nearly two thousand years ago. Now, it speaks again. What makes this shield extraordinary is not just its survival but what it reveals. Unlike the fragments usually found, this one shows exactly how Roman soldiers fought. The wood is thin but layered for strength; the central boss was designed to deflect blows; the edges were reinforced to block sword strikes. It’s a perfect piece of ancient engineering. But it’s also human: you can imagine the soldier’s arm trembling behind it, the sweat on his brow, the weight of an empire on his shoulders. It’s not just a museum piece; it’s a window into a moment of fear, courage, and survival. Dura-Europos itself was a melting pot—Roman, Parthian, Greek, and local cultures colliding at a crossroads of empires. The shield was discovered in a collapsed tunnel during a brutal siege, likely part of a counter‑mine dug by Roman defenders. When the tunnel was set on fire, everything inside was carbonized and sealed. That fire, meant to destroy, became the very thing that preserved the shield for 18 centuries. The same spot has yielded frescos, weapons, and even ancient religious texts. It’s a reminder that destruction and preservation are often two sides of the same coin. Today, the shield is a star artifact, studied by historians and marveled at by visitors. It teaches us that ancient soldiers were not just names in a textbook—they were people who carried gear that weighed 10 kilograms, who stood in lines of steel, who bled and died in places most of us will never see. And yet, because of one shield, we can still touch their world. In a time when we worry about our own fragile histories, this shield says: some things endure. “To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.” – Cicero. The Roman shield from Dura-Europos is not just a relic; it’s an invitation to grow up. Yale University Art Gallery #drthehistories

Love this..

@ThePhightins33 it’s so freeing!

is not who we should be—but ICE is so desperate for stats they detain a woman who is legally applying for her green card, a scholarship college student who teaches Sunday School. Trump would have us believe he’s taking criminal aliens off the streets. It’s a lie nytimes.com/2026/04/05/us/…

For five months, a father waited for his 3-year-old daughter’s release from federal custody after she was apprehended by ICE while crossing the border with her mother. He just learned that the toddler was placed in a foster home where she was sexually abused. abcnews.com/US/wireStory/3…

While we were trapped in northern Gaza and the bombardment intensified, I decided to move to the south to escape death. There was an Israeli army checkpoint. When my wife, my children, and I crossed, an Israeli soldier shouted at me, telling me to lower my head to the ground. He ordered me loudly to say that Palestine does not exist and to say that I am a rat. Sadly, I said it — I even said I was a rat. Not because I was afraid for myself, but because I was afraid they might kill my children in front of me, or kill me and leave my children alone after me. I remembered this moment now, and today I say it openly: Palestine is our land, and you occupied it. One day it will be free. I am not a rat — and you know that. You were standing with your weapon in front of my children, while I had nothing but the clothes I was wearing. I am not a rat, and Palestine is my homeland...

Alarm bells are ringing. All New Zealanders should be concerned about the direction Winston Peters is steering the country. #nzpol

I get that billionaires don't care if they choke the life out of us all by steadily increasing the cost of everything until we can't afford to be alive anymore, but my question is: When we're all gone, what's the endgame? What's the point? Or is it literally just a sickness without real agenda?
