Rituals of humiliation are a central tool of fascist regimes, particularly in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, designed to destroy the identity of targeted individuals, cement group solidarity among perpetrators, and assert total domination in public and private spaces.
Yeah, but is there a laptop?

I can understand why the Doge Bags wanted these videos removed. I listened to two of them, and both tech bros came across as breathtakingly stupid. It's scary that they had access to so much sensitive data. Elon lied. They weren't sent to do accounting; they were sent to do hacking.
This is interesting. It’s from Caolan Robertson, an independent reporter on the front lines in Ukraine.
There is absolutely no bottom.

It wasn't a "Military Academy"—it was a reform school.
And that isn't an army uniform—it's a costume from a community theater production of "The Nutcracker."
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
Last week: “We don’t need your stupid aircraft carrier, UK!!!!”
Today: “Hopefully, the UK will send an aircraft carrier to the Strait of Hormuz!!!”
What a fool.
100% of their military capability is destroyed!
..they’re still gonna launch missiles and drones
Oh, and we’re still going to target ships
Make it make sense 🤦♂️
I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) speaks to the media after attending Congressional briefings on Iran at the U.S. Capitol in Washington. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)
Chris Murphy: “This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years — this administration has no idea what they are doing
I have great sympathy for our soldiers & our military leaders — they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind”
Brandon Carr on Twitter: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!
The U.S. must restore faith in America’s independent press by allowing the federal government to decide what news is acceptable to report, FCC chairman declares
Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is raising $5 Billion from foreign governments WHILE WORKING AS TRUMP’S ENVOY IN THE MIDDLE EAST ‼️

No one has explained to me why we’re in this war in the first place
Trying so hard to get Sonny a home.
Unfortunately he cannot travel as he hates small spaces like a crate. So unless someone has a private jet internationally he needs a good home in Thailand.
A total gentleman of a dog. We'll keep trying everything
Good Point! Trump is dangerous.
We've lost 13 Americans in less than two weeks of this war. These are sons, daughters, and parents. The American people deserve to know why our country rushed into another war without a strategy or a goal.
Vance: The reason why gas prices are where they are today is because of Donald Trump’s work…
this is beyond parody, folks. a complete mockery of the DOJ.
I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/
Hegseth this morning, now this rant from Jeanine. These people come unglued when you point out their obvious incompetence and demonstrable failures. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.
✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here.
Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
"This is your pilot speaking. We anticipate no problems to prevent a timely arrival, if only all the engines hadn't stopped working and we were in a hurtling freefall to the ground. Thank you for flying with us. Enjoy the rest of your day."
the country is at war and the president is leaving DC this afternoon for a weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers
Michael McFaul: "It is a reflection of our current political environment that Trump has been able to take the United States into a war that few Americans wanted, that he never mentioned on the campaign trail, and that received neither congressional authorization, nor UN or NATO approval."
I kid you not... The same White House that forgot that invading Iran might lead it to close the Strait of Hormuz, is now arguing (through Peter Navarro) that war with Iran is a good idea because it'll prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz.
Gave up all of the currency and promise of the “idea” of America (however flawed), in exchange for “we kill people. We kill lots of people.”
