also one of the craziest evolutions of rapid response is how a month ago you'd be trying to get a plate check and you'd be like "VBZ 2552" and then have to repeat it 12 times and now 90% of us know the NATO alphabet and you'll get these girls going "Victor! Bravo! Zulu!" like they're fighter pilots

South Korean culture is fascinating because it's like "We make two things extremely well: Weapons and pop stars. One of these industries is the ruthless, blood-soaked byproduct of a nation whose soul was scarred by eternal war. The other is our defense industrial base, which is respected globally."

Tbh not to do this but the American level of elite impunity is uniquely high generally, but especially for the president
Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

If Rowling understood culture beyond the UK she’d know the US would have two Wizarding schools at minimum: magic Harvard and magic Alabama. But really we’d probably need magic Michigan State and magic Stanford too.
What would have the more insane internal politics, the school that has all of MENA or the one that has India, Pakistan, and China all in the same place

The next Democratic administration needs to put the absolute fear of God into the American aristocracy. No half measures - jail.
the andrew mountbatten stuff shows that being a tenured antiwoke professor at harvard gives you more legal privileges and protection from the law than your family being divinely anointed to rule a country as absolute monarchs for 1,000 years

I have really come to believe that we'd be in a much better place right now if we had put Nixon away in a dingy cell for the rest of his natural life, instead of the slap on the wrist for being naughty that he actually received.

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.
I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office.
ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for.
We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.

The next president should just immediately seize Trump's assets to the dollar value of all of these corrupt emoluments on the grounds that because emoluments are unconstitutional, the money was never Trump's in the first place.
Let him try to get them back in the civil asset forfeiture process.

This is one of the many many ways that “legal” is becoming “illegal”
Making matters worse, the Trump admin is REFUSING to adjudicate green card applications for refugees who come from one of the 39 countries Trump banned.
So under this policy, a refugee who applies for a green card exactly on time, doing nothing wrong, can (and DHS says must) be jailed by ICE.
