love to be looted by our criminal president

The pop-history account of how France chose violent revolution and Britain chose gradual reform always slides over the fact that Britain fought its own very bloody revolution(s) over the same issues, they just did it a few centuries earlier.

There are no "reasonable Republicans" because they long ago ceased to be a political party.

A political party tries to court your vote. An authoritarian regime tries to keep you from voting, and all votes from counting.

Total nonsense statement with no analysis to back it up.

one of the first thing zohran does as mayor is break his explicit promise to public library supporters? i don’t know who is advising him on this, but he is really stepping in it. librarians have excellent memories and unreal levels of dedication

It's paradox that only can exist once the political leaders are allowed to abuse, and hide behind, black-letter law. (Which is what millions of Americans are letting Trump do now.) The video from the Dem legislators was, I think, an attempt to remind the military, and us, of this.

Hope your optimism is warranted.

I came away from moderating this panel about the state of civil-military relations in a more optimistic place than I was going in. Thanks to @kschake.bsky.social, @eliotacohen.bsky.social, and @saskiabr.bsky.social for participating!

Find everyone guilty, make them pay the price and then you can talk to me about healing.

yes, we’re going to need trials and accountability, but we’re also going to need to take our stolen money back from this crime lord family.

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

The US news media is failing the public in its coverage of a possible war against Iran | Press Watch Reporters should be asking Trump officials some essential questions, and calling attention to the lack of answers.

"And I'm proud to be an American/Where at least I know I'm free"

Very interesting. Thank you.

Make it stop

CO2 isn’t a pollutant, it helps plants grow. and another thing, why are we always putting out fires? they provide heat!

A tweet from Ron Filipkowski criticizing Trump’s elimination of DEI, quote-tweeting a Newsweek post reporting that Trump appointed a 26-year-old aide with no notable arts experience to the Commission of Fine Arts. A photo of a young woman appears in the Newsweek preview.

Their version of DEI is “Didn't Earn It.”

The Pres. of the Association of Classical Christian Schools, is now calling it a “sin” to send your kids to public school.

Public schools are one of the last shared institutions where kids of different backgrounds still learn together. Calling them a “sin” is a warning about their agenda.

Everyone who thinks that adopting a centrist position nearly identical to that of a Republican will reach a swing voter (which, Max is right, is the worldview of a certain generation of consultants who came up during the Clinton era) has not talked directly to any swing voters in the last decade

The executive jet that DHS says it needs has a “bedroom with a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs and even a bar ..”

It’s clear CBS used the Brendan Carr letter as a pretext to implement its own censorship plan, to continue directing the network towards GOP talking points.

It’s all projection on the part of MAGA believers.

Merrick Garland reading the South Korea news like “I don’t get it.”

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

Once again

No idea whether Andrew will end up in jail. But it's a cause for celebration that the law remains sovereign in Britain.

Yoon and Prince Andrew wishing they had a friend like John Roberts.

So you’re saying that a corrupt former president who abused the powers of his office can face charges, be convicted, and be held accountable?

Tell me more.

Good question, but not at all in fact.

Wouldn’t smart LLM‘s do this automatically? Take the prompt and concatenate it to itself.
