This makes me sad. I know very little about military matters but I do know that the A10 was a legend.

I think this points up some of the failures of coverage of Trump's lawlessness: You could've read dozens of articles on Trump's tariff policy with no inkling of how unprecedented & legally dubious was the legal authority he claimed to impose them. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/b...

when did we start saying "warfighting" instead of just "fighting," and why?

What no one in political media is telling y'all is that no in D.C. is taking Trump's Golden Dome proposal seriously. Not the military. Not the media. Not lawmakers. No one. It is the policy equivalent of putting a child's shitty crayon drawing on the fridge.

In today’s cute Nordic news: Finland’s ex-PM Sanna Marin, ex-FM Pekka Haavisto, and foreign affairs councillor Petri Hakkarainen received Sweden’s Order of the Polar Star medals for their ”extraordinary efforts” to Sweden into NATO.

The fact that Merz is visiting Finland so soon after taking office, to meet also the other Nordic prime ministers, is a sign that he understands the importance of engaging with Northern Europe in a different way that Scholz did. Would be very happy to see Germany making an effort to win back trust

An example of how it is never mentioned that Hamas has the power to immediately end the violence. The blame and pressure must be only on Israel. Never on Hamas - or Qatar or Iran.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Finally. FINALLY. But I am beside myself with frustration. This should have happened three years ago.

Or - hear me out - have a genuine, big, inspiring political vision that YOU really believe in, and start campaigning, organising, and LEADING. (Crazy that this has never succeeded ever in history.)

Anne, huge admirer of yours here, but on this? Come on. He's always been like this. He has always free-associated when speaking. You have been one of the most important voices of the past 10 years explaining how authoritarianism works and warning about Trump and others. This stuff is beneath you.

"One of the single worst examples of journalism I've ever seen in a British newspaper." @mrjamesob.bsky.social can't believe what he's reading.

For every amazing local journalism story trying to make American lives better, there’s a big, lazy, national media narrative that is hot gutter trash making Americans stupider and lowering their expectations of government to a bullsh*t reality show. Truly embarrassing stuff here.

"levels of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) have decreased 55 percent since 2005, while nitrogen dioxide levels have fallen 50 percent. It attributed this to “regulations and public policies,” including steps to limit traffic and ban the most polluting vehicles" #AirPollution #Paris

Never waste a good crisis... urgent infrastructure works have made trough traffic impossible on the canalside in #Molenbeek. It seems like a consensus is growing that there is a huge potential here to make more space for people instead of cars. #Brussels #mobility

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

I'm not sure I buy this, or at least not in quite this way. To me it seems unlikely that anti-vaxxers would be thinking it through quite so logically.

The U.S. has—had—one of the top intelligence operations in the world. What a resource to make informed decisions. Yet we have an ignorant WH occupant who relies on fringe conspiracists to spread false information. What a danger. What an embarrassment. What a tragedy.

Would really appreciate if Twitter's antisemites would make up their minds over whether Jews should all go to Israel or get out of Israel. The entire worldview seems undertheorized, feels like they need to sit down and hash out the basics at a meeting of the Elders of Anti-Zion.
