We are in a bizarre moment of diplomatic history. The purported "peace plan" that appeared a few days ago begins in Russian unreality and American weakness. Demanding everything of Ukraine and nothing of Russia, its purpose is imperialism and profiteering.

Isn't it so weird to deeply know in your bones something obvious with no equivocation, for years and years, and then to one day see articles about people wondering if maybe the incredibly obvious thing you've known this whole time might be happening, as if the media is discovering it now??
“This is total armageddon for the online right. It’s looking like half of their large accounts were foreigners posing as Americans all along.”

Drought is climate change's greatest threat. An attribution study by www.worldweatherattribution.org found this year's Iran drought was a 1-in-10-year event; this would have been a 1-in-50 to 1-in-100-year event without human-caused climate change. President of Iran says they will move the capital.

Yeah!
A notable example of this regime’s intent to act as a racist, sexist, eugenicist death cult—whose harmful work continues.
The thing about DOGE is it accomplished neither its ostensible nor actual goals but did manage to cause a couple of holocausts worth of deaths internationally.
And the media finds none of those three things particularly notable.
And the media finds none of those three things particularly notable.
It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own

💯💯💯💯💯 Pure pillage. It did what it was intended to do. There is honestly no punishment commensurate with the harm this regime has caused in every arena. But we had better try, regardless, to hold them all accountable.
DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Short-term disappearances necessarily precede long-term ones. They are also still enforced disappearances, because the definition does not Include a temporal element. Here’s the legal definition below. We all need to start calling things what they are.

And yet again, the NYT editors choose to whitewash what's happening. "Reshape" environmental policy, indeed.
While the rest of the world was at #COP30, the U.S. government was busy rolling back bedrock environmental protections www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/c...

Consequences to the max in acknowledgment of the *many thousands* of lives lost due to their malfeasance! The MAGA GOP and the DOGE project they supported are a racist, sexist, eugenicist death cult.
This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law.
There must be consequences.
