Jan 20th marked one year since the launch of the MSMA hotline. Recently, our hotline team gathered to celebrate that anniversary!
In our first year, MSMA operators fielded over 8,000 incoming calls, did hundreds of intakes, and received hundreds of accompaniment requests for DAN.
Every day I collect another piece of supporting evidence for the idea that the pandemic made a dangerously large plurality, if not an outright majority, of Americans go absolutely feral. Zero sense of or interest in how to interact with other humans in shared spaces. None.
Approx 3K now 🤬 There are a dozen states now deployed to & patrolling DC. It’s hard to keep track but for sure AL, GA, AK, MS, SC, TN, WV, LA, They keep DC guard behind the scenes for morale reasons (they don’t want to fucking police their neighbors). The others sign up for multiple tours here.

This doesn’t belong in DC or anywhere else unless there’s a natural disaster or equivalent. This is in the residential area of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. DC is under federal occupation. Troops on our streets should never ever become normalized. It’s an anti-American aberration.

DC remains federally occupied just a PSA!!!!!
JUST IN: A federal judge has blocked ICE from constructing an immigration detention facility in Hagerstown, MD after the state sued over the lack of a mandated environmental impact review. www.courtlistener.com/docket/72362...
My town had a meeting tonight to discuss restricting local police from working with ICE. A white woman who spoke against it is the mother of my kid's best friend. Her child is not white. Her husband is an immigrant. Even though it happens daily, it still shakes me to my core to see a soul so rotted.
What a shocking story, great local news coverage, and inspiring work all around. This is what it looks like when people (and lawyers) fight back for a more just society. lataco.com/ice-rams-veh...

Why is everyone selfish and terrible
Aside from the legal issues, what wonderful, near-fiction names everyone has in this story. Robert Numbers, Derence Fivehouse, Rudy Renfer, Ellis Boyle and even the reporter, Ben Penn. We need more stories with these characters.
Great thread

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack. Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes. Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region.

MARINE CORPS TATTOO POLICY MARADMIN 198-07 Are You Grandfathered? Pod Save Americe, Oct 20, 2025, blaming his sleeve tattoos for forcing him out of the Marines Marine Corps, "Think Before You Ink", MARADMIN 198-07 "If you are grandfathered, all doors are open" 1. Summary - lies about tattoos Graham Platner, running for Senate in Maine, has told two major lies about his tattoos and his departure from the Marine Corps. Both are easily fact-checked and would surely be used against him in a general election. In 2009, five years after Platner enlisted, he sought to return to active duty in the Marine Corps but was denied. At this time, during the Iraq War, the Marine Corps was so desperate for manpower that servicemen were being forcibly recalled to active duty - but they did not want Platner. Platner then left the Marine Corps and joined the Maryland National Guard instead. Platner has repeatedly blamed his expulsion on a new Marines tattoo policy which banned forearm sleeve tattoos. This is his first lie. While Marine Corps policy did change in 2007 to bar sleeve tattoos, all currently serving Marines were exempt. All of Platner's existing tattoos would be grandfathered in. The only non-exempt tattoos were those in a new prohibited category: tattoos that were racist or associated with extremist groups. That is, the only tattoo Platner had in 2009 that would bar him from the Marines was the Nazi Totenkopf on his chest.! Platner's second lie is that he did not know that he was wearing a Nazi symbol until 2025. Platner's tattoos would have been formally reviewed twice: in March-June 2007, when the new policy went into effect, and in 2009, when he sought to return to active duty. In 2007, his commanding officer was required to produce a photographic documentation of all his existing tattoos; Platner would have signed it. In 2009, an officer at the enlistment office would have reviewed his tattoos for compliance. Even if Platner did not know the Totenkopf's significance whe…
And with Alt Text
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
