In the end it's going to come down to definitional issues. Was their time spent researching for their masters by going to raves and hanging out with "drug practitioners" leisure time, or was it work? How about their time making TikTok vids? My opinion and theirs may differ.
I would believe these people more if they actually lived as medieval peasants or at least as contemporary subsistence farmers. Some serious revealed preferences going on here.
Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:
Trump official blames previous Trump officials for failing to fund National Park Service infrastructure in DC
Mayor Bowser Presents:
When a Delmartian runs out of money, he's bank-ruff
What’s your sign?
Who says public safety actions like the installation and running of speed cameras are unpopular in DC? The overwhelming majority of people I know in DC like speed cameras and public safety.
However problematic at least Pahlavists have some kind of tenuous link with the world as it is, but the Trump administration bringing a deluded political cult like the MEK into this would be a recipe for a far worse disaster than where things are already

Congressional Republicans have repeatedly assured us that this isn't a "war" so I don't know why Erickson is describing it that way. Can't lose a war when there's not a war.
I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
"She frequently reported on stories critical of ICE for Nashville Noticias, the Spanish-language outlet."

There is also literally not a mechanism to "kick out" any member from NATO
feels like a minute since i have pointed out that donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than every other president of the united states combined
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.
This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.
This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.
So many American, Iranian, and other families will be destroyed or forever damaged by Trump's war.
Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.
Thanks for calling this out. Easy block.
I see outlets already getting stuff wrong, so: if you’re media trying to write about Bryan Betancur, I have way more information about his background than anyone else who can go on the record. DMs are open.
30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.
In think that the reason that the Just World Fallacy is so durable is not because it's just a misfiring heuristic that you can talk your way around, but because it's a coping mechanism for the reality that your life and happiness depend on ten million things completely outside your control.
Phew. Hope Trump doesn't give him another pardon.
It's unacceptable that MTPD can't keep riders safe from people like this.

It might’ve taken a couple years of Bryan Betancur live streaming himself fare evading, stalking women on metro property, threatening women on Metro property, and Hitler saluting and calling people slurs on metro property, but we’re finally seeing progress, baby!!!
Lock him up! This January 6th rioter has been stalking women for years but going viral for hair fondling on the Metro finally got the authorities to act
A friend from college is trapped in one of these countries because his non-US-citizen wife had applied for a visa to the US. Her passport is in the embassy and the embassy is giving no response about when she can have it back, since the embassy is shut down.
As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
