interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

They're just doing it more quietly and hoping the Epstein Files and SAVE ACT coverage moves MSP off the front page
ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown.
But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.

Probably not this guy but a similar guy could have given a speech in 2024 against trans kids playing sports with a similar motivation: protecting kids.

When you realize how much this is just a battle for brains that can only be won by volume, not logic, it's a bit depressing. Life is supposed to make sense to our Enlightenment brains. But it helps you understand central truths, like Trump doesn't lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated.
If you don't think repetition, framing, and branding drive politics, witness how Bobby KENNEDY Jr. is the closest to breakeven of the lot despite being a genuine ghoul bent on destroying our health care system.
Americans see several key Trump administration officials more negatively than positively.

This post is really taking off. I know the Thanksgiving detail is grabbing, but I would encourage everyone to also read the full article about this family’s struggle at Dilley.
They’ve been locked up for 130+ days.
I spent hours with them on Zoom this week, and their story deserves to be heard.

One of the terrible things about the ICE occupation of Minneapolis is that they’ve been doing stuff that is so crazy that people assume it’s some kind of exaggeration, despite being widely documented on video. Following observers home! Lurking outside elementary schools! Black-bagging citizens!
