DHS is arguing members of the Secret Service don't know who a U.S. Senator is, that he didn't identify himself (he does in the tape), lunged towards the Noem (not evident on the tape), and somehow all this necessitated him being hauled away, thrown to the ground and cuffed. x.com/DHSgov/statu...

The “free speech absolutist” demands you run paid ads next to Catturd’s rants or he and Linda will sue and he’ll have his govt friends investigate you. Some of the companies that have chosen to comply rather than say fk off are Verizon, LEGO, Amzn, RL, & Pinterest. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Yes, the U.S. government needs SpaceX more than SpaceX needs the U.S. government. But the same was true of Harvard. Trump needs neither, will happily abuse the power of his office for vindictiveness, and has no shame about the huge harm this causes.

I find it weird that Musk is acting like Trump isn't a corrupt dictator. Musk thinks he's untouchable, such as the fact the US can't launch things into space without him. But no, Trump will just do to Musk what he did to Harvard. So what if we can't go back to the ISS, why would Trump care?

Fascinating interview with a private drone designer for the RU military. His knowledge of UKR & Western drones is limited and should be taken with some skepticism but he still presents a quite candid picture into the current state of unmanned warfare:🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmfN...

Journalists need to be careful about "kneel on his neck". Police officers are trained to kneel OVER the neck, crouching down with their weight still on their feet and not on the neck, controlling the target, without pressure. Chauvin actually kneeled on Floyd's neck, contrary to how he was trained

Rule of law, due process, habeas corpus, civil rights: these things sound like empathy for criminals, but they aren't. They have come about through history due to the abuse of power by autocrats. Dicators throwing people in jail for no reason is a bad thing, because it's not just criminals.

I'm fascinated by how the responses to this demonstrate BlueSky's filter bubble. When developing rockets, tests should often result in explosions, or you aren't testing enough. Now, some of SpaceX's recent tests have been exceptionally dismal failures, but that doesn't change this premise.

"Tucked deep in the thousand-plus pages of the multitrillion-dollar budget bill making its way through the Republican-controlled U.S. House is a paragraph curtailing a court’s greatest tool for forcing the government to obey its rulings: the power to enforce contempt findings."
