A senior administration official, as well as other officials, told Rolling Stone that it is a priority of Trump that these kinds of military deployments -- in times of relative calm -- become normalized in American political culture.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

This is happening in Toronto. Crime of many kinds is down but if you live in a place where CP24 is on constantly, you'd never know. So there's fear of the city in the suburbs, falsely, and you see certain politicians harping on this. More as next year's election approaches.

You know, I’m not surprised that the people who have been bringing us “alternative facts” for like a decade now are planning to share fake jobs numbers and tariffs numbers and Smithsonian museum exhibits but it does scare the shit out of me how much they’re intent on destroying our shared reality

This article is all “maybe crime is down but it doesn’t feel down”. Shame on The Atlantic.

Shaw has a valid work visa and is employed in Washington State at a maximum security juvenile detention facility. Yet, after she drove her two older kids to get a direct flight to visit grandparents in New Zealand, she was treated like a criminal herself when driving home with her youngest son.

Getting their goosesteps in

Friends,
I've noticed a larger than usual number of bots&trolls here in recent days.
The reason for that is obvious - Russian propaganda is investing a lot of resources into the information space this week.The stakes are high

Are you noticing more bots here (on other social media platforms)as well?

JB Pritzker: Blocking arms sales sends Israel ‘the right kind of message’ The Illinois Democrat said he backed the Senate bid to halt Israel arms sales to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over Gaza crisis.

Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians.

After half a year of developments of AI in society I decided to go back, discuss my concerns, and think about how to respond to it.

In Russian-occupied Crimea, a complete shutdown of mobile internet has been announced "for an extended period." The move is explained as necessary to "counter enemy attacks and ensure the safety of citizens."

As a golfer myself, I endorse this. So much more effective than a ranger to enforce pace

HURRY THE FUCK UP BEFORE THE WOLVES GET YOU makes the game a lot more fun

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

The US Embassy has issued visas to all journalists in the "Kremlin pool."

According to CNN, the meeting between putin and Trump will take place at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base, as no other safe locations have been found.

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq.

“If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.”

National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC.

A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

Whenever power is reclaimed from these fascists, vandals, and thieves, the punishment for their many crimes against our society, culture, and history must be equally or more severe than if done by a foreign enemy. Nothing less is justice, nothing less will deter them from doing it again.

ICE arrested a Catholic nun. At a car wash.

The St. Francis Mission Sisters take vows of Chastity, Poverty, and Obedience.

I don't ever want to hear anyone tell me we are all equal under the law again.

Odie from Garfield with the text, "Don't worry...be stupid!"

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

honestly I cackled because jesus christ we're going full Saddam Spokesman out of the gate

"Grover Cleveland called. He left two non-consecutive messages" hits different now

I have lived in Oakland, DC, and New York City. I have walked the streets alone at night—after dark!

These guys are utterly pathetic.

Please, I beg you, STOP USING CHATGPT FOR YOUR COURT CASES.

Today I saw someone get themselves *held in contempt and arrested* because ChatGPT spit out sovcit bullshit *on a case they could have won.*

It used to be "disband ICE" and now it is clearly disband DHS and ICE.

The security sector reform will have to be intense--finding ways to deprogram these people and find them jobs where they can't do much harm.

This is an excellent pitch for four day work weeks!

What do you think will happen at the Trump-Putin summit on Friday?

What a banal way of describing the march toward fascism.

And it continues: "It is maddening when you hear people say, well, the crime rates are down. And yet, y'know, people don't feel any safer." Joe says this from his personal studio in one of his country redoubts, not Washington.
