This visualization from Texty shows the routes of Iranian-made Shakhed kamikaze drones (in yellow), ballistic missiles (purple) & cruise missiles (red) that Russia used to attack Ukraine just last night. Russia continues to target Ukrainians all over the country almost nightly.

Eric Levitz makes a similar argument: leaders on the left have failed to condemn mass murder in ways that are morally and politically unwise.
There is zero contradiction between condemning mass murder and condemning the occupation. Zero.

A Left That Refuses to Condemn Mass Murder Is Doomed
To advocate effectively on behalf of Palestinians, progressives must not forfeit their moral authority.

if you’re STILL on here arguing that the slogan is bad I’m not sure what to say. it’s been over 3 years and moderate liberals haven’t done a single fucking thing about police reform, so maybe direct your pragmatic little concerns about efficacy toward them

No, no. The slogan itself is garbage. It makes it impossible to connect with most politically inactive people who have never had a direct problem with cops (most normie Whites fyi).
I like the policies behind it, but the slogan closes doors for casual outreach and conversation.

the liberals who talk endlessly about how “defund the police” is a terrible slogan aren’t really concerned with the slogan itself. for them it’s a proxy fight - their real concern is that the left has gotten too powerful relative to the establishment center
"The words 'defund the police' ... somehow served as a psychological trigger that caused not just Democratic politicians but also much of the allegedly liberal media to fall over themselves pointing out how it sounded bad." www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/talk-loude...

This is the worst US journalistic habit, keeping former titles. I once interviewed Bill Clinton more than a decade after his presidency and his staff told me about 4 times that I must address him as “Mr. President.” That contradicts a core principle of democracy, that representatives are citizens
Occasional reminder that "Mr. Trump" is correct, and that *no* former president should be called "Mr. President."

From ‘Mr President’ to ‘Mr’: strongman Donald Trump cut down to size in court
Trump has always loved beating his chest, but away from the TV cameras, the former president appeared meek and shrunken

Glenn Greenwald being a dishonest shit to stir up controversy and nonsense? Why... it must be... a day.
Glenn Greenwald and his sniveling fans are idiots. Yes, it's obvious. But today I have a special reason.
Glenn Greenwald is OUTRAGED that the United States dropped campaign finance fraud charges against Sam Bankman-Fried, and he and his idiot followers are in a tizzy.

I worked in state govt in MA for nearly 3 years, and my boss (a Democrat from WMass) used to yell from the rooftops that young people or anyone new to politics could have an outsized influence by being *elected* in local and state govt, but that everyone wants to go right to DC.
People so underestimate the importance of local, small government, and it’s how corruption prevails and democracy erodes — by droplets, not rivers.

The shorter, punchier headline, "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. makes antisemitic covid remarks" has the added benefit of being more accurate. The fact that the Times wouldn't use it makes me think for the first time that he's got a shot at the nomination
Seems to me like they raised the answers too but I guess that's why I don't work at the New York Times

Defending a besieged city, surviving in captivity, to then return and go straight to your unit, is, what one would call, a “Chad move”

Seventy-eight years ago today—at 5:29:45 AM (Mountain War Time)—about 35 miles SE of Socorro, New Mexico, the nuclear age began with a big bang. Contrary to popular belief, the area surrounding the remote Trinity test site was not uninhabited, and the fallout did not drift away harmlessly.

Please do not do this.
We ‘interviewed’ Harriet Tubman using AI. It got a little weird.
A new tool from Khan Academy lets students talk with simulations of Tubman, Winston Churchill, Genghis Khan and more. But there’s a limit.

I’ve decided that starting over on Bluesky is an opportunity to reshare some of my favorite wildlife 🧪 photos. Here is a hummingbird in my backyard, taken when we were in full pandemic lockdown mode.
