In advance of the Oscars tonight: a lot of comedy heroes let you down. They become unfunny/bitter/closed minded. Conan is the exception. He has grown & evolved & is funnier than he’s ever been. He’s also an extremely kind and lovely human. Just a sincere post to say: Conan rules.

You know you’re not a good Russian asset when everyone says you’re a Russian asset.

You can’t study warfare for at least the last two centuries without realizing that wars are mostly won & lost by logistics, supply, command & control, strategy. So aside from radiating Chernobyl levels of small dick energy this is just wrong abt what a sec def needs to do.

Understand that while this is an atrocity - Constitutional rights undoubtedly travel with these migrants to Guantanamo Bay, which should finally settle the question of whether the Constitution applies at Gitmo outside of habeas. We will renew constitutional challenges for the 15 remaining detainees.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Virtually all of this is good advice to anyone, citizen or noncitizen, on how to deal with law enforcement.

1/ Autocrats combine tools to stay in power, but most research looks at them in isolation. We map 6 strategiesβ€”repression of rights & physical integrity, co-optation through institutions & resource distribution, and indoctrination via education & mediaβ€”for a full picture.

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

I’d make a better Secretary of Defense than Pete Hegseth.

I say this knowing I have no qualifications for that job but still more than him bc I’m not a drunk, don’t rape people, and don’t support war crimes.

But guess which one of us would be called a β€œDEI hire”? This whole thing is a scam
