In that reporting stream, at 22:58, "White House releases photos of Trump in Situation Room"[1], I'm struck that we are in a timeline that is not only dark, but surreal.
It sounds trite to say from a position of relative comfort and distance, but I can only hope that someday our better selves will find peace with each other, around the globe.
But we won't be able to undo all the injustices and atrocities that we inflicted upon each other. We know these wrongs as we are doing them, and they will remain upon us.

- fastball 1y agoWhat is surreal about Trump being in the Situation Room?
- neilv 1y agoAs photojournalism, the image is brilliant. Though not entirely candid, that subtext contributes.
- baobabKoodaa 1y agoYou didn't answer the question.
- neilv 1y agoI'm not going to bother, when already-triggered people are downvoting this thread so hard.
- DangitBobby 1y agoThe use of a crisis for a photo-op, for one. He's wearing a fucking MAGA hat!
- PeterHolzwarth 1y agoNothing odd about that. I'm thinking of photos of Obama and Hillary in the situation room, observing the strikes on Bin Laden in realtime.
- seydor 1y agoRemote War photos are now commonplace. The striking thing is that he is wearing his MAGA hat, as if he purposely wants to piss off his base who had delusions of "no wars president"
