My mom, the radical nurse who helped kids avoid Vietnam in the 60's. The retired Lt. Col. The ER nurse. The most amazing woman I've ever known. She could talk history, philosophy, medicine, physics, could converse in Latin. She was also kind, heartbreakingly kind. DM me if you want hacks for draft.

One of the last pictures of my oldest sister. Tabby was 37 when she passed from cocaine laced with fentanyl.

What about it?

Tabby was a beautiful soul. She was very caring and always fun to be around. Sadly she struggled with addiction most her life. I doubt this is the last picture of her, as we didn’t speak for two year before her passing, it’s the last one I have of her. I tried to find and contact her many times but she was embarrassed about her drug use. She died December 8th 2021. She was found on a “friend’s” couch full rigor morris 9 hours after she passed. I wish you knew how much I truly loved and cared for you big sis.

Last images of Reuters journalists Saeed Chmagh and Namir Noor-Eldeen and other civilians who were gunned down by a US military helicopter in Iraq

What about it?

Initially the US military said that all the dead were insurgents. Then it claimed the helicopters reacted to an active firefight. The footage of the video was given to Wikileaks by Chelsea Manning (then Bradley). The US is still attempting to extradite Wikileaks founder Julian Assange ostensibly for releasing this video revealing US war crimes.
