This is a very cool article/🧵 that outlines the argument and evidence in my book, Divided Armies, about why prejudice and discrimination is bad for military effectiveness

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

Due process is what is required—not optional.

So, just got newsletter from German Marshall Fund headlined ‘Iran War Is Shaking Up European Security Scene’. Uhh.. I kinda thought Russia has been doing it since 2014 by invading Ukraine and by sabotage, cyber attacks, sending drones and spy agents around Europe , but ok

Yes—that is the crime and inherent treason and RiCO and bad faith—not lawfully holding office at all—all.

Good summarily way of putting it.

Don’t want be discouraging or even prohibiting most efficient kind of housing and can’t get to 350 units pretty quickly.

The specifics matter here—legislatively. Not had a chance see those yet.

Now there is an interesting NIL and probably a couple of other things suit

Every news source other than US News says everything Trump says is not accurate. Stopping short of calling him an outright liar.

"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."

That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.

It’s key to Covid impacts too though.

WOW!! That's a surprise!! Let's hope the House are so inclined!!!

For fed legislation—not a bad start.

But do believe in tailored legislation too.

350 units versus houses versus buildings… it all matters.

(And ought not limit to housing—time to deal more sophisticatedly with anti-competitive capital over functioning market business practices whether straight up ownership or private equity or multinational holding company shell games or what have you…)

Think state by state legislation appropriate there to allow for commercial landlords in major markets but not controlling better part of market or having terrible market impacts antitrust style if not technically violating currently antitrust laws.

But failing to protect the equal civil and human rights of trans people is screaming own illegitimacy as the executive protects those for all—by oath and definition.

Epstein class war of choice re Iran or starving Cuba and purposeful financial blank swan events and the laying groundwork for a gigantic false flag attack on US soil but say was Iran—especially when drones worried about been missing since last November—were not caused by trans people existing.

but also—Epstein sex trafficking and market manipulation schemes are that too. Facilitating the coercive control of electeds and over media and certain industries through the commission of terrible crimes and using the power of gov to quash investigations into is that too.

And states can and ought charge treason—including for the high tech electoral manipulation (charge Musk, Thiel, Karp too), war crimes and crimes against humanity, endangering and causing Americans to die and helping Russia and betraying allies vis a vis NATO

Everything Trump/Vance and Russia also goes to intent and the oath of office not being an oath at all—ever.

We do not empower persons but by operation of law per our constitution absent good faith and intent actually preserve, protect and defend our constitution…

Yes—do!

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Law is substantive and actual time to constitutional representative democracy (and our being that kind of republic) for reals and not just mostly appearances thereof…

And can be an attestation and still an oath—but intent and good faith do indeed matter—and actually acting in conformity therewith. And sure broadcasted no intent and have acted totally contrary to having such intent…

Pretty sure was intentional but the performance part of the oath is not what is most important. It’s not what I’d cite—and certainly not now.
