Secretary Hegseth announced this afternoon that DOD will cease ALL graduate study by military personnel at universities including MIT, all the Ivies, Stanford, etc because such schools teach "the enemy's wicked ideology" to officers.

The birthright citizenship IS an easy case. That’s the point. That’s the flex. “No matter what rights you think you have, no matter how universally acknowledged you think they are, no matter how central to American values those rights are, WE decide whether or not you have those rights”……

At the risk of having this skeet blopped on my head in a couple of months, the birthright citizenship case is an incredibly easy case decided by straightforward text, and that’s part of why these amicus briefs are all such dunks.

Good to see the Secretary of Defense has his priorities in order in the midst of the largest military buildup in the Middle East since the Gulf War.

Clinton: It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate. One of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet.

Washington Post Headline: Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency

Donald Trump’s plan to steal the 2026 midterm elections is already underway.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

ICE is struggling to keep pace with vetting new hires during its historic recruitment push, so it's hiring officers before completing standard checks.

The agency fired five people after belatedly finding that they had outstanding warrants for their arrest.

a wise man once said, “they’re running out of goons”

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

The near-total memory-holing of Trump’s disastrous withdrawal from the JCPOA - literally, the central reason why Iran & nuclear weapons is still an issue in 2026 - from the National Conversation™️ is incredible, & not in a good way. The “better deal” never existed & still doesn’t. And here are.

Hello Bluesky! My new book, THE FIREARM REVOLUTION, is out on 14 April. It’s about how a new technology changed society, and how hard it was to control. Here’s a little thread of what’s inside:

if they will do this to a cishet white man who lives in Texas and works in the oil & gas sector, they will do this to ANYONE. no state or job can keep you safe. everyone who told you that this was only ever going to be about black & brown people couldn't have been more wrong.

The long 2010s are finally over

The proposition of liberalism is dead simple: An attack on the basic rights and political equality of one group is an attack on all of us. We do not know when fascists will turn the violent arms of the state against our group, so we must treat an injury to every group as if it were against our own.

Even if you don't think trans people are worth the fight since they're just 2% of the population, it's vital that you remember that the Republican Party is not merely an anti-trans movement, it is a fascist movement.

They'll perfect tactics on a small minority that will one day be used against you.

i think they lose this, and probably quickly, fwiw

This is actually totalitarianism, by the way, not loud kids at Oberlin. There‘s no lever in Kansas or federally to actually reverse this anytime soon either

Its probably not healthy for a social fabric when you accept this is at least 30% of the people you’re around at any moment

Article I vests Congress with the power to tax and spend for the general welfare. The president —let alone the Vice President—does not have the authority to do this.

General welfare ≠ “good stewards”

I don't know why the federal government has declared war on my state, but this is clearly because their attempt to conduct an invasion was thwarted. So they're now retaliating economically.

the republican party line is, fairly explicitly, "we will kill your children if you don't vote for us because we know you won't kill our children if we don't vote for you," and the appropriate response to the existence of such a political party is to outlaw it

Good luck guys
