tl;dr: Savvy people saying we've lost can fuck all the way off.

Here's my bottom line:

Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

While we are all looking at topographic maps for the first time, please everyone look at one of Taiwan before your next take.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Noem probably thought she'd make it longer but she at least understood the assignment and shoved money into her purse like she'd be gone tomorrow

Anyone who looked at the news on a Friday afternoon between 2017 and 2021 knows that Trump has screwed more cabinet members than Slavic women and yet you know Rubio and Hegseth will both be utterly blindsided when it happens to them.

Maybe this is @dicknixon.bsky.social's influence, but my favorite thing about Noem's firing is that poor dumb Marco Rubio still thinks he's gonna be president.

Hey shout out to every left winger I don't give a fuck if you are DSA, Democat, DFL, Green, whatever, if you won your primary, good on you and good luck in the fall.

That's Noem, Lewandowski, and Bovino out.

Wannabe fascists, perhaps, but you are not living in a fascist country. Public pressure, embarassment, legislative opposition - all of them helped to turf these folks. That's what I mean by "the levers of democracy still work and you should use them."

God bless Walz for this. Just the perfect mix of contempt and dismissiveness for this broken person.

the founding document of our modern nation explicitly says that the Framers were founding a "more perfect Union."

implicit in that statement is that it is not a perfect Union.

it is the task of each succeeding generation of Americans to continue the unending task of perfecting it.
