🇺🇸Walz: "It's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of our state, and today that campaigned claimed another life. I've seen the video from several angles and it's sickening. But I have a strong statement here for our federal govt: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word."

Dear BBC. Dear CNN. Dear New York Times. The Trump administration lies all the fucking time. Hope this helps.

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?

As masked federal agents terrorize and kill American citizens Mike Lawler does NOTHING to stop it. I was a military police officer in the Army. I know what law enforcement is about. Protecting and serving, NOT the weaponization of government against its own people.

Starfleet Academy is first and foremost a YA show, maybe if you‘re a middle-aged man that can‘t find enjoyment in it, just leave it be?
I understand people are invested in this franchise and the negotiation what Star Trek is or isn‘t, but we‘ve had „new“ shows for a decade. Give it a rest.

Feel like news reporting on Donald Trump could do with a bit more emphasis on the derangement he's suffering as part of the explaining, these aren't rational acts.

10/ This all means we have a situation where the President of the United States can relentlessly, ceaselessly and at least somewhat costlessly trigger one crisis response after another all over the world at the tapping of his thumbs.

That's why everyone looks so tired.

9/ This causes immense challenges because the costs to President Trump for issuing a threat via Truth Social are near zero.

If he threatens a 100% tariff on foreign films and doesn't follow through, it's in no one's interest to hold his feet to the fire over not having done it.

8/ What all this means is that every time the President issues a vague threat or a threat that sounds prepostorous and unlikely to materialize, leaders, corporate boards and entire bureaucracies can't afford not to respond.

7/ Similarly, you need to scramble to mitigate the damage of even comparatively mild flexing of US power if you believe it's at all likely - even if the US won't really lean in to hurting you or if your exposure is limited.

6/ Being hit with US tariffs, or the US military, or US sanctions, or US regulations, or a thousand other things the US can do to you is so scary that you have to take it seriously even if you think he'll likely chicken out of actually doing it.

5/ The reason President Trump's various pronouncements suck up so much oxygen is that with the power of the US behind him the threat matrix looks very different.

This is for much the same reason there are very few "mild collissions" when the other vessel is an aircraft carrier.

4/ The 'redder' the box an event ends up plotted in, the more time, resources and energy it makes sense to spend on mitigating it, preventing it, or planning for it.

There are probably limits to how much you want to focus on something that's a one in a million chance, or that won't hurt too much.

3/ The scariest events are likely and highly damaging, the least dangerous are the ones that are unlikely and not too damaging.

A meteor strike would be very damaging, but is unlikely.

Key employees getting the flu at some point is likely, but your office can probably manage.

2/ A pretty common way for large organizations to think through risks is via a risk matrix.

A risk matrix plots potential problems on two axis:
a) How likely is the bad thing to happen?
b) How bad would it be if it did?

It might look something like this (graphic design is my passion):

1/ Others have pointed this out, but there are massive hidden costs in terms of effort and contingency planning to all the Trump threats that never materialize because he never meant them, TACO'd, got talked out of it, or got distracted.

I wanted to talk about why by explaining risk mitigation.

I legitimately don't know how major media outlets are supposed to cover public statements from official US sources.

What DHS says about the shooting is newsworthy...
but they are lying liars who lie constantly...
but you can't YET prove they're lying in THIS case...
But it sure feels like it.

Four hours of continuous attacks on Dnipro, Anti-aircraft fire & Explosions.

Drones in daylight, this is terrorism 101.

These strikes serve no military purpose. They are designed solely to send a message while so-called “peace talks” are being floated.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
