The US military, acting in our name, killed nearly 200 children in a war of choice against a nation who had neither attacked us nor was planning to. At a certain point, the world will cease to draw a distinction between Trump and ordinary Americans, just like they once did between Germans and Nazis.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

My perception is that they want to be able to say whatever pops in to their head and feels good to say

**And**

They want other white people to think they're good people

And they can't have both and it pisses them off and they start confabulating

In terms of its impact on energy, travel and the global economy, the US-Israeli attack on Iran is like a mini-covid pandemic, but human-made and by choice.

Delta CEO says the Trump administration will reverse government 'overreach' seen under Biden The chief executive of Delta Air Lines says the incoming Trump administration will be a β€œbreath of fresh air” for airlines after what he called government β€œoverreach” under President Joe Biden.

Excellent work by the US and Israel, who saw 86-year-old Ali Khamenei replace by his more charismatic son, who also just saw his wife, father, mother, and sister get blown up

it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it

People keep acting like Democrats need to tolerate a little dash of paranoid antisemitism if they want to reach the salt of the earth hoi polloi, but the reality is that paranoid antisemitism is more natively the politics of downwardly mobile scions of privilege, like Platner for example.

Henry Cavill is Duns Scouts concept of univocity (ie Good and good are the same good) and Jason Momoa is the analogia entis (ie when we call God's goodness 'goodness' it is because of its resemblance to the goodness we know from everyday life but not because they are the same).

Momoa stalks Cavill as though to tackle him as Aquinas's theology tackled Scotus's. AI enthusiasts ought to beware the risk of their tendency to say that a person generating speech and a machine generating text are both the products of thought because my thinks are not their thinks, neither are their ways my ways

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT POLITICS YOU ALREADY LEARNED WATCHING SPORTS Sports fans already know how to translate the language of power into the truth. They don’t, most of the time, but they can.

this has been knocking around my head for a while, but for real: Sports get people prepared for the bullshit of politics like few other things can channel-6.ghost.io/everything-y...

doing everything you can to kneecap renewable energy development and then immediately launching an illegal war that threatens non-renewables and may result in a catastrophic increase in energy prices is the republican party in a nutshell

Kids can die of measles and poor Americans can be robbed of lifesaving care and it will barely register, but he finally did the thing that will have people call for his head

You knew this guy was fake when you saw who propped him up. When you get coordinated profiles in the press and prime spots on resist lib podcasts, it looks thin. Wannabe kingmaker Epstein Class types suddenly found a guy with a beanie. It's all thin. All of it.

As NYU Langone capitulates to threats from this administration and refuses to provide gender affirming care that saves lives, a protest outside the hospital on Sunday March 1 saw a number of elected leaders show up and clearly lay out the challenge and what they're going to do about it.
