They dropped a law firm that made a deal with Trump, and engaged Jenner and Block who are fighting Trump!

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "How damaging is it to your ability to recruit or build allies with others when they are worried that our leaders may be exposing them because of their gross negligence or their recklessness in handling information?"

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

If you haven't heard anything about the unfathomably couragous anti-Hamas protests in Gaza right now, you should probably update your information diet to include outlets and influencers who do a better job telling you what's going on.

Thread for those seeking a quick primer on the anti-Hamas protests in Gaza. (One challenge is that most of the realtime material from the Middle East remains on X.)

Let’s be clear about what this isn’t. This is not an attempt to protect Jewish Americans from antisemitism. That is a complicated problem that requires education and a long-term commitment. joycevance.substack.com/p/first-they...

May we continue to hold people responsible for shilling false hope to desperate parents:

A team has been charged with murder, after their “treatment” killed a child 😢

(Ps: hyperbaric chambers ARE good treatments for some things - but not for ADHD or autism)

I don't think media is overall meeting this moment (and in some ways it's actively acting in support of facism) but at the same time a lot of what you know is because of hard working reporters and I want you to hold those two ideas in tension with each other.

Nothing has made me more open-eyed about the dangers of extremism during wartime than the way people on every side have found ways not just to justify, but to actively support the murder to children.

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices.

We hammered this time and time again and yet.

The day America decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back in the White House, is the day I stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground."

I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.

What I really want to know about Hunter Biden's pardon is why the Saudis gave Jared Kushner two billion dollars.

I don’t think it will all fit in there.

Happy Tuesday, BlueSky.
