I know I’m a goddamn broken record, I really do, but Congress had a way to change that, it worked for decades, and the Supreme Court blew it up in the 1980s in a way that was impossible for Congress to fix. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
the pure uncut straight from the brick racism and Islamophobia is Christian Nationalist believing that an Islamic Republic is per se helpless—not because of the religiosity, but because it’s the wrong religiosity
I find it odd that the US is touting the use of AI in Iran AND blaming a "targeting error" for bombing the shit out of a girls' school, and no one in the media seems to be asking the obvious question.
Every day just gets dumber and dumber with no end in sight.
The most depressing shit is that the whole twenty years of war has literally no silver lining you can take away from it. We didn't just lose, we also learned fucking nothing.
The hardline pro-Israel wing of the Democratic Party has been experiencing the biggest dog catches car moment ever over the last couple of years and they're still mad
The next time that dude makes an argument in good faith will, I promise you, be the very first time.
new from me: as the GOP was hammering Biden for record gas prices in 2022 i wrote that the “president does not, as [Republicans] would have you believe, have a dial in the Oval Office that he uses to set gas prices.”
shoutout to Trump for managing to find the most damaging exception to that rule
NEW: DHS is requesting access to the government’s “most powerful people-finder system,” which contains the name, address, Social Security number, employer, and salary or wages of every employed person in the country — as well as sensitive information on children and domestic violence victims.
For comparison's sake, the entire National Park Service costs $3 billion - a year.
it’s that time of year when virginia experiences all four seasons every other day
Is this good?
It actually took several months before it became clear that Iraq would be a shit show.
This is falling apart much more quickly.

I can’t believe the writers would tee this up again.
There's a strategic level to the Gaza-fication of the Middle East that goes beyond Israel's razing tactics and applies to theories of victory.
For Israel, victory lies in the damage done by the razing.
For Iran, as for Hamas (and Hezbollah), victory is surviving to emerge from the rubble.
Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

"a little hiccup" is quite the euphemism for disappearing people off the streets and sending them to concentration camps
“We’ve got a little hiccup with some of the Hispanic and Latino voters for certain, because some of the immigration enforcement was viewed to be overzealous,” Mr. Johnson said in an interview
"A little hiccup." "Viewed as." They're not going to change policy, they're going to change messaging.
The sociopathy could not be more evident
The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.
Trump officials moving onto military bases is a ridiculous, absolutely inappropriate thing, and the NYT story that credulously credited claimed threats as justifying such a move is also ridiculous.
1 week. $11.3 billion.
But we “don’t have the money” for health care.

Worth revisiting the leaked ADL memo from 2020 which outlined how the organization was planning to defend Israel from accusations of apartheid if it annexed 30% or more of the occupied West Bank
The ADL represents the Stephen Miller wing of American Jews—and that’s it. They’ve betrayed the community they claim to defend.
Headline in the Zionist extremist "Jewish Insider" website: KEEPING COMPANY ADL condemns Zohran Mamdani for hosting Mahmoud Khalil at mayor’s mansion ‘Gracie Mansion belongs to all New Yorkers. Public office must never be used to legitimize hate,’ an ADL spokesperson said
Jacob N. Kornbluh @jacobkornbluh Mamdani, for second time since his inauguration, facing backlash from mainstream Jewish orgs for hosting at Gracie Mansion Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia graduate who was held for deportation for his role in the pro-Palestinian protests. Includes statements by UJA Federation of NY and Mark Treyger, CEO of Jewish Community Relations Council of NY: https://x.com/jacobkornbluh/status/2031721069111836934
These "Jewish" orgs represent elderly donors, fascist or fascist-friendly Jews, and Israelis, NOT the vast population of Jewish New Yorkers who support Mahmoud Khalil and despise his kidnapping and imprisonment by the Nazi pigs in our government.
DHS agents are not rogue. DHS agents have been empowered to violate our rights and act with impunity.
If we fail to act, DHS will continue to be a weapon that can be pointed at anyone the government considers the public enemy… and fascism always requires a public enemy.
