Why would anyone who doesn’t want Trump to succeed in dismantling US Constitutional democracy want to “take down the temperature”?

You can’t possibly counteract the White House’s incessant temperature raising.

Do you really think the problem is not enough complacency? People are caring too much?

This is just objectively the exact opposite of the truth. Every serious effort to actually quantify the ideological valence of political violence has found the reverse of what Vance claims.

Bragging that you ended 7 wars... and then changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War seems incongruous.

Nothing says “Nobel Peace prize” quite like the changing the name of the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.”

If there were a “Department of War” it would obviously be very very small when we aren’t at war, right?

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

"Maximum lethality - not tepid legality" is the kind of thing the Hydra agent who seized control of the US military says right before before Captain America throws a shield at his face.

Is "I was too macho for tepid legality" considered a valid defense at the Hague? Asking for a friend

The murder rate in Tampa, where Benny lives, is nearly triple that of New York City

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do

I assume that given that there were tens of 1,000s of ppl attending the concert and an internationally famous band performing, they just didn’t think a camera would suddenly spotlight *them* — while accompanied by Mr. Chris Martin’s love commentary about them possibly “having an affair”!! 🤪

💯%

Honestly, I think it’s sorta constructive hubris — whenever any band or cultural phenomenon gets TOO massive, there’s often an assumption that they can’t possibly have earned that level of acclaim and so deserve to be humbled (even if the artists themselves are not actually personally arrogant)

HEY!! I like Coldplay!! 😝

Just my humble basic opinion — plz don’t block me!! Kthnxbai…

lolol 🤣

LOL!! 😝

Hey everyone, just a reminder:

A little more than a week ago, a Republican terrorist killed two people and injured two more in an effort to kill enough democrats to capture the Minnesota Legislature

I feel like someone should teach Paul Krugman the ways of using Emojis — They are so often the Pareto Optimal response!! 😝

lolol

I don't really know how you don't look at the rise of illiberal reactionaries as *the* defining political trend of the Western World right now. People are reacting to the confusion and chaos of modernity by going into hysterics and trying to burn it down. So far, they're succeeding.

Indeed, it's basically *the very same mechanism that brings about both results.*

I can never be too hard on our information environment because I would be absolutely miserable without the level of freedom and access it has given me. But what insane variance it brings about.

It's honestly incredible how polarized the knowledge environment is. If you approach things with the right mindset you, as a non-practitioner, non-student, auto-didact, can learn almost any topic extremely deeply. This coexists w/widespread acceptance of the most insane lies and delusions.

Judge: And so given all those factual findings, I'm going to exercise the discretion I have to ORDER THE RELEASE of Mahmoud Khalil

Judge: All this together suggests there is *something* to underlying claim that there is an effort to use the immigration charge here to punish the petitioner. I do not find likelihood of success, but I don't need to. My finding here is that extraordinary circumstances standard IS met.

Judge: Ms. Das today invokes 1A claim and due process punishment claim. In due process punishment claim, process is punishment. One argument petitioner has made is that he is being punished. Immigration process is being used not to vindicate immigration laws but to punish him for speech.
