Awful. But there's no bipartisan-savvy, cautiously centrist way out of this. The Republicans are unleashing full police state fascism, throwing the Constitution in the trash and not pretending otherwise. Appeals to their good nature have been rejected for YEARS. What now, Democrats?

If I made Major after 15 years in the Army Reserve and saw four geek oligarchs promoted off the street to Lt. Col, I would order my troops to roll the tanks across the border and defect to Mexico. Being the mechanized infantry for the Sinaloa cartel is more respectable than the Army at this point.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Israel is what several new territories would look like if the US balkanized. Pugnacious little ethnostates full of nothing but the dumbest people alive and pedophiles.

it is funny how tech overlords, whose sole work experience is pretending to have something to sell while getting and burning through tons of outside capital with an end game that is solely enriching themselves, just assumed government jobs were as inefficient, corrupt, and pointless as their own

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

One of your employees has become trapped in space. You are monitoring his mind via an EEG implant. Instead of sending him good films to watch to wile away his hours trapped alone you send him the worst movie you can find. Why is that?

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Supposing an election happens, and The democrats win, people will want them to do something about the armed gangs currently kidnapping kids off the streets and smashing up cities. This will be called "a purity test" and libs will insist it's way too much to ask.

One thing about the protests that is probably unnerving for Democratic leadership is that for normie Dems, Palestine is rapidly becoming a popular cause. Saw Palestinian flags, a sign that said “stand with Ukraine and Gaza,” and a speaker’s mentions of Palestine drew the biggest cheers today.

I have always been annoyed by adults who mention when their birthday is, and worse, throw birthday parties for themselves. But this is the God tier of that.

The most confusing political ideology to me continues to be the person who has half of their identity celebrating the resistance of Ukraine and the other half of their personality saying that the Israeli military has done nothing wrong

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

Back in the Vietnam war, troops also frequently had pretty low morale. Did they have any ways of expressing that while deployed?

sometimes in the rules based international order a nuclear power can just initiate an attack on a sovereign state to reassert its own embattled legitimacy, because they might get weapons of mass destruction, it wants to install new leadership, old unfinished business, etc, etc

Impossible not to contrast his apprehensiveness wrt our domestic crises & his show of force here. He's been repeatedly presented with the option of fighting for Americans or supporting foreign rogue state & chose the latter. Hard not to see it as he & others have effectively turned their backs on us
