The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

So not contact juggling then?

Folks need to start reproducing this...

If you parse this carefully, some of it is puzzling, another bit makes sense.

"intellectual" - puzzling
"backbone" - bewildering
"conservative movement" - 'movement' is another word for 'shit', so, yeah, that part tracks.

Bonus points if they just used a clip from one of ICE's propaganda videos.

A thing that is a green flag for me is when collaborators are from different companies, it helps indicate that this isn't going to be a veiled corporate pitch.

Have you thought about 'green flags', things you see in a CFP submission where you're like 'oh yeah, that's a sign that this won't have a specific kind of problem'?

Why is this not a movie?

Vice, corruption, explosions, political scandal, hardened detective drummed out of the force for refusing to be corrupt, altruistic businessman...

Seriously, Hollywood, get on this shit!

Are you envisioning the Obamaesque 'look forward, not back' policy now?

'They’ll never find me as long as I’m smart,' wrote St. Paul man charged in anti-LGBTQ vandalism spree Ramsey County prosecutors on Wednesday charged a self-described “right wing libertarian” in connection with a summertime vandalism spree in St. Paul that targeted LGBTQ+ Pride flags and anti-Trump sig...

A+++++ headline writing here.

It takes a lot to impress me, but this is fucking impressive.

I don't like the idea of the government telling me that I can't buy certain hardware.

I know this happens already... And I don't like it. It's one step away from mandating that I buy certain hardware.

(Huawei phones, for example, I can't buy in the US)

When to assign more reporters to a story...

Student first amendment rights ftw!

I disagree with last word there. The transactions with the person you bribe are never done. Your transactions with a bully are never done.

Sports Jerseys are going to become the Pope's jelly bellies (Reagan liked them, so everyone brought him more).

If we can convince cops that the feds are not part of their brotherhood, we have a chance that laws will be enforced against them.

It's a divide we should try to foster.

An interesting thing about many of this administration's lies (like this one) is that it is easily disproven. It wants you to distrust reporters in general and only trust those that will parrot lies (propagandists).

The lie is not convince, it is intended to implore voters to only trust liars.

Future traitors: real spies don't expect you to sign a confession, er, contract, before you start betraying your country.

1999 Seattle WTO protests - Wikipedia

Trade policies tied to labor conditions and environmental impact are coalition building popular ideas. WTO treaties were signed without the consent of the governed.

The Democratic party needs to have a proactive vision for a sustainable and fair future that goes beyond undoing the MAGA agenda. What we had before Trump was unsustainable and exploitive.

For constitutional reasons as well as business friendly reasons, we need a Congress willing to impose tariffs on countries.

The US not only outsources cheap labor, but also unsafe labor conditions and environmental impact that would but be allowed in US production.

The US ignoring trade treaties with impunity opens the door to future tariffs being tied to environmental crimes and labor exploitations.

Your acceptance at the conference depends on it being compelling as well. It is the first 'pitch' that they will read.

It should clearly state what you are going to present on. Don't be coy about what you will present.

Giving a talk at a conference? Your printed abstract is what will (or will not) compel audience attendance. Word-smith the hell out of that thing. Get feedback from friends and strangers. Make the abstract the utterly compelling.

Your audience depends on it.

The fun thing about someone in a green shirt is you project anything you want into them.

Inside the Heist That Shocked the World

This detail is chilling:

“The attendant said ‘Everyone get out,’” said Ms. Barker, a middle-school teacher who participated in enough active-shooter drills to convince her this was a terrorist attack.

You can get green morph suits... And instead of projecting the image into the background, you project the image into yourself.

This is fun.

YES THIS. If you are one of the "all is lost" people please feel free not to say so in the comments of my posts, it'll save me the two seconds it takes to "hide for everyone" your comments. All is not lost. All is never lost. I prefer not to have you infecting others with your doomerism in my space.

CBS News will be worth watching in the coming months.

Misspoke... News *about* CBS News will be worth watching...
