The Bundy occupation at Malheur in early 2016 (and the lack of consequences they faced for it) was a sign of what was to come. Right wing white anti-government vigilantes cast as “patriots.”
NEW: Tina Peters is rejecting a J6er's call to storm a Colorado prison and free her.

Peters is distancing herself from the jailbreak scheme and violent actions after allies and her attorney talked about using force or violence to free her and punish those keeping her in prison.

It's all chest-thumping and zero answers.

If Trump believes these strikes are somehow justifiable, he needs to make his case to Congress and ask for authorization. That's not what's happening.

The Russian position is that the Ukrainians should have no input to a peace plan cooked up between the US and Russia.

I am disgusted professionally and personally to be part of this reorientation of the role of the US in international relations.
Putin's aide Ushakov:

I think that the input of both Ukrainians&Europeans into these papers [the peace plan] will hardly be constructive.That's the problem.

We haven't seen these documents yet, but if there are corresponding corrections, we're going to have very strong objections,

The University of Nebraska is closing their statistics department. Especially if you're all in on AI this is so short-sighted.

Finnish FM Valtonen at UN: “Putin respects the military power of the United States but despises the American way of life: granting freedom to all individuals.

This is the way of life we Europeans — including the Ukrainians — defend. And it’s why we must stick together.”

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

Step 1: Implement tariffs

Step 2: Tank your economy industries

Step 3: Use taxpayer money to bail out the industries you tanked

Step 4: Take credit for “saving” those industries, make no mention that you were the reason they tanked in the first place

Step 5: Decry socialism as evil!

So not only were we busy telling the world what we were doing on insecure Signal chats, we were shooting down our own people at the same time. It has costs to put incompetent people in charge of national security, and I fear we are just beginning to pay them.

Professionals understand that protecting civilians on the battlefield is a moral and legal obligation that often entails enhanced risk to combatants. That's part of the job.
“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Pete Hegseth asked in 2024.
