We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

"Move to Boston," they said.

"Our winters have gotten so mild," they said.

"Okay!" I said.

"I'm not afraid of snow," I said.

Then "Oh f@ck!" I said again, and again, and now it seems, once again.

"What is a syllabus?" I say, again, and again, and now it seems, once again.

"Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and
thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing
allegations of Donald Trump raping children ... of Donald Trump
threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look
at these allegations."

BREAKING: The US is about to launch the "Epstein War" against Iran on behalf of Israel. It is called the Epstein War because it is the only way to stop the full truth about Trump's antics with Epstein from being made public β™₯️

Even a year ago, if you'd said q-anon had a point about elites and pedos, and that MTG might be a little bit brave, I'd have asked you what space ship you'd been riding on.

these women are incredible. they’ve been unflinching and relentless in their demands for justice. and in a media ecosystem better suited to tabloid-y takes, they refuse to cede the narrative or to be cowed by the *whole* DOJ. incredible.

"Our number one political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned."

And when I say work in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality studies is crucial to everything right now, I mean it.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactionsβ€”not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.
