"The Melian Dialogue is not endorsing a timeless law of global politics. It’s showing us Athens at the precise peak of its imperial hubris: the moment when a great power becomes so convinced of its own invincibility that it can no longer perceive its limits."
“The strong do what they can" is what Athens said right before destroying itself. New piece on the Carney Doctrine, Vaclav’s grocer, and American hubris.

On top of everything else noxious about this appearance, Blanche is lying about cooperation from MN, as DOC set up a dedicated website to explain.
Blanche: "Remember, what we all saw in that 10 or second video is not the full story. Every American should know that. The story goes way beyond that. It starts with the fact that literally for months we have received 0 assistance from the state of Minnesota."

In case anyone forgot, this administration had already prohibited public funding of mRNA vaccine research. Moderna was one of the single biggest private funders of mRNA vaccine research. This will set us back decades.
Moderna CEO says Trump’s policies have so curtailed vaccine market they won’t be investing in new research. So that’s awesome. Good luck when the next pandemic hits. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fWErMy/

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said the company doesn’t plan to invest in new late-stage vaccine trials because of growing opposition to immunizations from US officials. #health #business #medicine #US #government

Let me know if you agree with my analysis. I've unfortunately spent too many years researching Miller, white nationalists, and his ideological infrastructure of hate. Also, you know, I pay attention to what Trump actually does and take him literally and seriously.
"Bovino to Leave Minnesota, But the White Supremacist Agenda is Still in Play"
Bovino is the scapegoat for Trump's intentional reign of terror in Minnesota, but as long as Stephen Miller is in the White House, this is just window dressing. Dems must go on offense!

The administration is "deeply frustrated"? To my mind, Noem/Bovino carried out what the White House wanted (see statements from Miller absolving ICE and smearing Good and Pretti), and now that its backfired, they are being used by Trump as scapegoats to absolve the WH of accountability.

The way I see it: the Trump Administration gave full license to ICE to act with impunity. And then covered up two ICE murders conducted as a result of such impunity.

I want to go back to Marimar Martinez' request to lift protective order in her case. She was shot by CBP in October. As w/Good & Pretti, they lied to cover up shooting.
As a threshold issue, Bovino was just 1-degree of separation from all 3 shootings.

1/ The order of events on statements by DHS, Bovino, and Noem on Saturday following the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis is definitely worth looking at it. And on my reading, while both officials read from the same official statement, Noem's response was even worse, for two reasons.
With Greg Bovino being shown the door
A reminder of how he and Kristi Noem have been in lockstep in responding to Alex Pretti's murder⬇️ (and what lead up to it).
