man, this has been a fucking terrible week for excellent character actors
Oh, man. Tom Noonan died? His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter is one of the most terrifying, mesmerizing I've ever seen in a film.

So much anti-trans discourse is nothing but “What about (made-up bullshit about trans people?)”and you do not have to indulge this or treat it like a legitimate argument.

this has nothing to do with foreign policy and everything to do with throwing elbows at “the left”
Saying "um, ah, well..." for thirty seconds and then changing the subject has been the literal policy of the united states as regards the defense of Taiwan for decades. The whole point is to avoid giving a straight answer. If you want to critique on FP at least read a Wikipedia first.

the thing about the modern media landscape is that it’s *extremely* difficult to entirely suppress something. you can flood the zone with shit or pressure networks or newspapers into cooperating, but things are going to get out into one of the ten million potential channels they can pour out of
Streisand effect is strong with this story. I think most normies are feeling the cover-up/censorship tendencies of the trump admin faster than most day to day authoritarian stories.

i know better than to bet on blexas but i am curious to see what happens with talarico if he can break through the news glacier
This may end up being a massive own goal for the Trump administration.

the thing here is that if you’re a generic consumer, or even a tech industry person focused on B2C Ir even a lot of B2B, you don’t have any idea how weird and wild the world of technology in, like, the physical world of hospitals or industrial plants or manufacturing is
I just Cannot Believe the weird thing of “Everything you do is going to be relayed through a datacenter, everything” as an industrial customer who works with a lot of proprietary controls
Yeah uh… I don‘t buy the “Nobody Will Be Doing Consumer Stuff Anymore” angle

fwiw insofar as there’s a maga after trump, i think RFK, jr. is an underrated figure for inheriting it, he is unlikely to disappear whenever trump croaks
RFK, jr. is one of the few high profile people in the world who is as naturally and unpleasantly weird as donald trump, and for many of the same reasons

DHS is abusing administrative subpoenas to target and silence its critics. @repespaillat.bsky.social and I will be introducing legislation that would make this practice illegal and help end these authoritarian abuses.

i mean, democrats *are* going to block it, collins knows that, that’s why she voted for it, it’s a dead letter.
Trump's election bill tops 50 Senate votes, but Democrats could still block it
The SAVE America Act has passed the House and enjoys President Trump's support, meaning the Senate's 60-vote threshold is the only thing standing in the way of it becoming law.

i often wonder how someone with as little political acumen and personal charisma has attracted the following that he has
Nick Fuentes tells his followers not to vote in the midterms so the GOP gets wiped out, Trump gets impeached and indicted, and then "we get a Nazi to run in 2028": "I hope we get a fucking fascist to run in '28 to burn the GOP down as a dark horse and win the presidency as a right-wing radical."

i don’t think dems will have the numbers they need to actually dismantle DHS or even just ICE after the midterms, *but* they can spend two years tearing into what’s likely to be a megaton of malfeasance and fraud at DHS and line it all up for a dem AG
corrupt, but also staggeringly incompetent and catastrophically understaffed when it comes to planning and administrative capacity
One of my firm beliefs about ICE's $79B budget is that the organization is so corrupt it'll grift and graft it's way through that pile of dough so fast it'll make heads spin.
