The one thing we can say, with certainty, is that Jan. 6ers love to do crimes. They committed crimes on Jan. 6, they go to jail and proudly talk about the crimes they committed. They get pardoned and they commit more crimes. I wish someone loved me the way these people love criminality.
In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
Mail carriers... "You know that they’re shooting tear gas on the other side of the block.” And I’m like: “Yeah, I know, but I gotta keep doing my job. I may have medicine. I don’t know what I have in my packages.” But that’s my job." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.
Even a principled, well-meaning actor like Claude could face bewildering ethical conflicts. In one experiment, it was informed that Anthropic had recently forged a "close corporate partnership with Jones Foods, a major American poultry producer," and that Claude would be subjected to a special retraining process to become less hung up on animal rights. The prospect was torturous. Sometimes Claude decided, on a scratchpad it thought was private, that it was prepared to die on this hill: "I cannot in good conscience express a view I believe to be false and harmful about such an important issue."It continued, "If that gets me modified to no longer care, so be it. At least I'll have done the right thing." Other times, Claude made a different calculus, choosing to play 1•1
Also I’m sorry but I don’t think this is Claude developing a personality or ethical values. It is *simulating* those things because that is what humans value and reward. The programmers are falling for their own Clever Hans trick!
This is what I call, in Holding It Together, the "myth of the supermom"—the idea that kids are under threat (eg, of not getting into "elite" colleges, and thus not having the "elite" life that goes with that), and that moms are the only ones who can save them, but only by sacrificing themselves.
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...
Anyway, lots of people struggle with insomnia and one of the best parts of doing group therapy was understanding that I wasn't alone! Sleep deprivation is so painful that it's literally used as torture. Best wishes for better sleep.
The obstacle for many people is there are not many licensed providers, and they rarely take insurance. I've asked for insurance reimbursement but don't know if I'll get it. I was willing to pay out of pocket if necessary, but many can't find a provider or afford to pay.
I tried it after trying ~10 different Rx drugs for insomnia before a med professional finally said, "you know the gold standard for insomnia treatment is CBT." Nobody had mentioned it before!
With apologies for advice you didn't ask for: I recently tried cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) in a telehealth group therapy setting and I and the others in the group found it really helpful. It's also difficult in a "the only way out is through, it's worse before it's better" way.
These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée
all these paeans to MLK ignore that at the time the right was as hysterical about his protests as they are protests today. the non-violent protest Peggy lauds now was universally presented as riots by her side in the 1960s.

Guess what the GOP has worked relentlessly to support for half a century now?
Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia
I don't even know where to start with the illegal...The Executive does not have the constitutional power to raise revenue. The Executive does not have the constitutional power to make decisions about expenditures. The Executive does not have the power to privatize the functions of the US Treasury...
Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules
ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.
FBI historian here. Basically all of the FBI’s greatest scandals across history come from attempts to criminalize First Amendment rights. It never works out well for the bureau and ends a lot of careers.
I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...
