Ultimately I still think mastodon is closer to what we need for durable social media but this is where politics Twitter went and the bridging isn’t good yet

Lmfao what an awesome proposal. One reason you need a 90% income tax rate at this level is these guys are too stupid to have the amount of power they do. Like giving a glock to a 4 year old

It's amazing how they put the onus on the public to stop calling them mean things as a pre-condition for not gunning us down at a checkpoint. You expected this shit in Syria during the civil war.

soldiers are mostly young people who want to do something else with most of their life. They generally don't want to live the rest of their lives with the knowledge that they executed an unarmed mom

cops want to spend thirty years with the nickname "killer"
Civilians in combat zones become combatants in combat zones when you murder their family.

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

We went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, compromise neocons & waked up stark mad resist libs
In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.

Today, in a message shared w me from a law-enforcement-only forum, a sheriff’s detective says he was tasked with monitoring OSINT ahead of an ICE protest and is crowdsourcing activist “groups and specific channels” to track from other cops nationwide

Local protests, national surveillance networks

My great grandfather was, by some account, not a great man. Sleazy Catholic Parisian banker, hard drinker, and bigamist.

When war loomed, he lied, cheated, and stole to get his Jewish family out of France and stayed behind to do the same for others.

In a crisis, all that matters is what one does.

I'll preface this with saying that I'm a liberal and think liberalism is good, but the mewling about training from so many Dems is an absurd example of liberal proceduralist pathology.
Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

Intellectually, I can understand why they’re trying to create an insurgency, but I still can’t fathom it. Why do you think this helps you, what do you think this does for you
DHS launched a new policy: "One of ours, all of yours."

Do they want VBIEDs? Because this is how you get VBIEDs on American streets. They're literally trying to create an insurgency.

The Plot to Enslave America.

This slowdown in the labor market was precisely the outcome that the oligarchs who brought trump back into power were trying to engineer.

The thing they hated about the Biden economy wasn't $50 burrito taxis, but 3% unemployment
NEW from me:

Job growth has been functionally zero over the last five months, as the US sinks from a “low hire, low fire” labor market to a “no hire” one.

That slowdown is hitting young & low income workers the hardest 🧵

there's a country that is dying to buy from ASML and that they are not doing business with because the US has told them not to
There is a lever that isn't named yet that the EU has to pull if they want to hurt the US - ASML. Their photolithography tech is a requirement for any advanced chip manufacturing, and they're complex enough ASML is on site to make sure they work. Ban export and service and US chip making dies.

Is this what the world looked like to people on the eve of World War I? People who had lived their entire lives in a world dominated by European empires that divided most of the continent among themselves? Could they imagine a world without the Habsburgs, Hohenzollerns, Romanovs, and Ottomans?
i mean i think a world where the US genuinely break NATO and launch an invasion of Greenland looks so alien to us that we will not be able to understand it
The thing I think folks struggle to appreciate with this stuff tho is however hard it is to wean Europe off US tech is *at least as hard* as it will be for US tech to get back into Europe after that type of transition kicks into high gear

His company must be broken by the state for treason if we ever come back.
After the 2020 election, Larry Ellison joined a call to strategize on overturning the vote for Trump and donated to election deniers. Now he controls CBS and wants CNN’s parent, raising new questions this week as his influence grows.

Ellison and the Lie
As Larry Ellison’s media empire expands, unanswered questions about his views on the 2020 election now carry real stakes as Jan. 6 is reframed and the next presidential race approaches.
