Really good thread. Kt the only paradox in the world order today.

In short, any grant application that wasn't a project glorifying white males was labeled DEI and rejected. He knew the assignment.

Got to keep bringing this up: imagine the reaction of the media (and Republicans) if a Democratic president casually talked about a Russian leader helping an American adversary targeting American troops as if he were subservient to Russia.

At the rate we're going, these may become ubiquitous in places other than Ukraine.

Completely predictable! The dry drunk running DOD got rid of all the leaders and personnel who had watched and learned from Ukraine's success with drones and Russia's use of Iranian Shaheds against Ukraine. This is what happens when you steike a bee's or hornet's nest.

Representative Frost was fabulous in this interview.

Explains a great deal! Interesting and an odd feeling to know that this happened within the arc of my lifetime. A new shift is already underway in Texas, and both Texas and Florida (as well as other states) are likely to lose population as parts become unlivable due to climate change.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

I read the 302's on her FBI interviews. Her story is quite credible. I'm inclined to believe her. The incidents in her allegations took place in the 80's--early days in the building of Epstein's pedophilia empire.

Today is International Women’s Day and March is Women’s History Month! This is a time to recognize that womanhood holds so many different, beautiful experiences, and they’re all worthy of being celebrated. 🎨credit: ppnorthcentralstates and @courtneyahndesign.bsky.social

News and movement in the Maine Senate race. After the Fetterman debacle (and before that Sinema), I'm disinclined to jump on any "maverick" candidate bandwagons. I will note, however, that recruiting a candidate (no matter how effective) in their late 70's is absolutely not a stellar idea.

Rep. Garcia: The Trump administration is trying to strip Fourth Amendment rights. ICE wants to write its own β€œpermission slip” to break down doors without a judge. Those spreading violence and chaos are the same ones ignoring the Constitution.

Gen Z, Alysa Liu, wins gold πŸ… for USA with a happy-go-lucky performance.

Somehow she tunes out the world burning. Isn't bothered by being on the most competitive stage in the world.

Simply loses herself in her love 🀍 of skating.

FLOW. ⛸️

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

This is so far down the rabbit hole... This slimy, nutbag being escorted around the Pentagon by the Secretary of Defense is shocking.

Are you kidding me? Is the "money honey" really this ignorant?

No, no, it's absolutely not a good question. And, the answer is plainly, NO, the President (any President) cannot get a bill "across the finish line" (passed) in Congress by executive order.

Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

This is an excellent interview! Watching it, you will see clearly why Trump's CBS tanked it. Talarico has a gift! I learned the same lessons he describes from my grandfather, who was also a pastor, albeit German and not Baptist--SDA so there are similarities. SHARE widely. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

What is β€œUn-American”? We must acknowledge America’s history of state authoritarianism and racial violence – but also dare to claim its aspirational tradition. Make MAGA un-American, finally.

Let’s Make MAGA un-American, finally.

I wrote about the conflict over national identity, the need to reclaim patriotism from the Right, and the struggle between two traditions that are both authentically American:

White male supremacy vs. the egalitarian promise of democratic pluralism.

Yes! This is why so much of what is happening with CPB/ICE, particularly in Minneapolis, feels to many of us like domestic violence. Today's mediocre-white-male-dominated GOP blames the victim consistently.

One of our least intelligent Senators--an avatar of white male mediocrity failing up--blaming the victims of ICE's aggressions and delivering an inauthentic "I'm pissed off because you encouraged assertion of constitutional rights and did not capitulate to your GOP overlords."
