hard to resist the sense that the overwhelming spectacle of 9/11 is essential here.
So, one of the things I'm trying to get across in this next book, on a really deep level level, is how the nation could never have got this way--where any frightened cop gets to kill anyone--is because of political choices made after 9/11: to become, as I put it, a "bedwetter nation."

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.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross should get worker's comp for the heavy lifting this song did for this dopey show. The best instrumental they've done outside The Social Network, and maybe there too.

hey if any attorneys in DC want to help me bring a pre-enforcement action against ed martin, I'm 100% for it
Will you arguably can go to a judge right now. This is a threat from a US attorney. Talk to a lawyer about a pre-enforcement action

I kind of think the most revealing thing about Trump and his advisors’ view of the economy are the (false) “it’s fine, the economy is doing well in red states” lines from the CEA report that he posted on Truth Social

okay murphy posting this combined with flurry of leaks is actual red alert
I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

the most appalling part of this political era is the physical harm they are inflicting on innocent people but secondary to that i find the constant smug lectures from this country's biggest collection of hypocrites, scammers, perverts, pedophiles, and overall bozos very distasteful

Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

This is going to be a fascinating experiment in policy feedback - it’s very clear that the link between real world material policy and political views has been greatly weakened. But to what extent, and how bad do things need to get to break through the media environments? We’ll see…

Trump's brain has been thoroughly cooked but he name-drops a pro-tariff President most Americans likely have never heard of. He is serious about this
It should have been an enormous tell to everyone when he started referencing McKinley by name

You have to understand that they hate you. Yes you, the educated liberal or leftist reading this on educated lib-left dot com. They took away AIDS medication from children for the specific purpose of making this video to trigger you. Triggering you is the goal and they will murder children to do it.
Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now?

This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.

This kind of action—ya know, politicians doing politics against an unpopular foreign billionaire shadow president—might be more valuable for the Democratic Party than making a Democratic House candidate’s unidimensional ideological position somewhat more moderate. Just spitballing here
