You’re afraid to close your eyes, for monsters don’t sleep at night.
That’s how it was when I was little.

Now I have my own children —
and their monsters are different now.
Not imaginary, but real — flying through the night,
rumbling like thunder without rain,
stealing peace and dreams.

So good that it is not an escalation and never has been.

A lire impérativement pour comprendre que les fascistes ne doivent pas être soutenus, même lorsqu'ils invoquent "les libertés ou droits fondamentaux".

C'est TRES CONCRET et URGENT.

Excellent post sur ce qui est en jeu aujourd'hui.

Une offensive massive de l'ED pour neutraliser toute opposition.

Rappel : quand on est sincèrement convaincu que son projet politique est le meilleur pour son pays, on n'a pas besoin de mentir ou de tromper pour en convaincre les autres.

Partout, l'hydre de l'ED progresse.
Et partout il FAUT la combattre.
Sans états d'âme, et sans égards pour ce que cela nous coûterait aujourd'hui (sans rapport avec ce que nous perdrions demain s'ils prenaient le pouvoir).

This strikes me as an abdication of responsibility. "Officers swear to constitutions, but constitutions cannot interpret themselves. If district judges cannot agree on the Constitution’s meaning, why pretend soldiers can?" warontherocks.com/2025/10/the-...

The American Military Officer After Liberalism Across academia, government, and Silicon Valley, on social media, and in leading journals, intellectuals and political leaders are openly debating what

Hard to imagine a more sinister & dangerous argument, couched in euphemism & high-minded language. "This essay does not argue liberalism will collapse, only that [US] military officers should be intellectually (and spiritually) prepared for alternatives." warontherocks.com/2025/10/the-...

you can dress it up all kinds of ways but the argument basically boils down to this guy putting his commitment to being a soldier over his commitment to the values of the constitution

it's a fundamentally morally vacuous position

Why Commanders Don’t Sign NDAs Existing rules and laws applying to military secrecy are sufficient—and asking officers to sign NDAs is deeply inappropriate.
