When I was still on the hell-site, and Russia had invaded Ukraine, McFaul kept tweeting on how the Russian populace should rise up against an authoritarian state.
Like, this guys was ambassador to Russia. Has he no concept of the country? Of an authoritarian state? Dumbassery of a very high level.

related to this, linguistically it's interesting how much algorithm censorship influences internet language on non algorithm spaces; this reinforces why algorithms are bad in that they limit expression to where ideas/concepts are put into juvenile workarounds, but also the futility of censorship
It's certainly not the point here but "protests you find too spicy" is a phrase I find endlessly aggravating. The Internet has made a lot of people talk in euphemism when discussing serious things and we should all knock it off.
If random masked men are setting fires in your community, I think you should feel free to film them. Especially if dozens of other people and several national news crews are filming them. They are not "allies," they're arsonists. Grow up.

Yeah if we’re underindexing on anything it’s “the stupidest shit you’ve ever heard” like “Mike Pence could have unilaterally chosen the winner in 2020.”

Michael McFaul, Daniel Shapiro, Brett McGurk, etc. These are nominally center left foreign policy big wigs who have been frothing at the mouth for a better part of over a decade because Obama dared to look at Iran and think that maybe we should try something new. It has been their lodestar for yrs.

(this is not a criticism of this map) something that interests me is the movement of indigenous peoples in the americas. we think of the people who were here before the europeans were always here, but there are thousands of years of human culture before that, thousands of years of movements.
The Utah Historical Society just produced a new, excellent map of "The Peoples of North America in 1776." Great resource for anyone teaching, writing, presenting about Native peoples as part of their 250th work. america250.utah.gov/power-of-pla...

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.
![[start quotation] MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: “America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of
all Nations & Religions.”1
More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President
Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. See 8
U.S.C. § 1254a (TPS statute). It provides humanitarian relief to foreign nationals in the United
States who come from disaster-stricken countries. It also brings in substantial revenue, with TPS
holders generating $5.2 billion in taxes annually. See Part VI.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has a different take."[end quotation]
Underneath is a screenshot of a tweet, which reads: " Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem
I just met with the President.
I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.
Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom-not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS.
WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.

From the Epstein files: were Paul Volker and Tom Brokaw really members of a secret society with a "no minorities or women allowed" rule? Brokaw is still around -- worth asking him!
