The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

I saw an incredible one-woman play years ago about a fighter pilot who is grounded while pregnant and becomes one of the early era drone pilots and it was literally about this, her slow shift away from seeing the people she drops bombs on as human from her cushy chair and big screen an ocean away

Right. I am quite sure that I have a lot more understanding of history and geopolitics than Mullins does and that's not even a brag. I'm older than him, and I am curious, so I pay attention.
Also, I was a really good nursery school teacher with that degree.

In counter-extremism, we have a long list of things we DON'T do.

One of the things we DON'T do is ask people to vicariously view dead bodies.

Because "You must witness the carnage" is what extremists do to radicalise and destroy people's souls, destroy their compassion, cause moral injury.

I can't see that being covered for home use but maybe care centers could have them.

To be fair, I'm saying this as a person with only an AS degree in early childhood ed, no bachelors, Markwayne was a plumber. He started college but did not finish. He has a 2-year degree in construction technology.
But some people keep learning new things, history etc, and I don't think he has.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His β€˜Girls’

NEW: I and colleagues reviewed 15,000 documents to illuminate how Jeffrey Epstein used VIP doctors to control and manipulate young women* β€” and how the doctors helped him, treating his needs as more important than the patients'. Gift link.

After the Civil War, Carney became the first Black mail carrier in New Bedford, working for the postal service for 32 years. When he died in 1908, Massachusetts ordered all flags lowered to half-mast the first time the state had given such an honor to an African American.

This is the fastest the snowpack has ever shrunk at the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab (@cssl.bsky.social) in late February. Snow depth was ~8 feet on Feb. 20 and is now <4 feet just eight days later. Liquid equivalent hasn't changed too much, as powdery snow was able to soak up the rain. #CAwx

The first two past the pole thing is relatively recent, to avoid runoffs.

Why should the United States go after Iran for not allowing the people to protest when the felon is calling to go after our citizens for protesting? This is getting money for someone and it's not the U.S.

Of course I am horrified by the Iranian protest massacres, but responding with a double team of the two most fucked nations on earth -- who have their own live genocide -- inspires exactly zero hope for anything much at all.

If, when the primary comes around, they are all running, people will vote for them depending on how much they like them. But if there is only one or maybe two Republicans running, if they could get more than any individual Democrat if the field is too big.

Latest Calif. governor's poll brings unexpected Democrat to top Three Democrats and two Republicans are tied in the newest governor's race poll.

Our "first two past the post go to the general" election model in California means that shattering the primary like this could have unforeseen terrible consequences.

I went outside and took pictures of my old wheelchair to post to the local free stuff group to give it away. I needed to do something that felt like a change and that wasn't for me.

Now, of course, I'm sitting in the yard throwing things for my dog, but that's not a change.

it’s also all related. the men who traffic children with impunity are the same ones who start wars, bomb schools, support genocide, ignore laws, shirk taxes, beat their wives and children, and steal every dollar they can from the people. it’s all an expression of the same belief: no one else matters
