August 6, 2025 – A Date That Will Live In Infamy

A Sad, Shameful Anniversary

August 6, 2025

Today is the 80th anniversary of the day America dropped the biggest, deadliest bomb ever deployed, killing 140,000 in Hiroshima, Japan. Seventy thousand instantly. Three days later we dropped a bigger one on Nagasaki, Japan killing another 70,000. Forty thousand instantly. Not to mention the subsequent suffering and horror that smothered the survivors. America did that.

This is what those bombs looked like:

Today, we are dropping the second most destructive bomb on the entire world. Though it may end up being the most horrific when all is said and done. Already responsible for at least 100,000 dead Americans. Killed slowly by a pandemic it chose to ignore. Poised to murder perhaps millions by cutting off Medicaid to millions of Americans and vital aid to many across the globe, having already destroyed hundreds of tons of food and medicine. Hundreds of tons. Warehoused, just waiting to be distributed. Destroyed. Senseless. Heartless.

Sixty years ago today President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act. The need for the law was explained in its full title: “An Act to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution, and for other purposes.” America’s new bomb is preparing to blow that up too. That and the environment.
