Gee, sure would be nice if this kind of thing was actually illegal

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have such a good understanding of humanity’s tasks for survival and the vast gulf between them and our current behaviour. It’s hard not to fall into despair. Yet the tasks themselves are simple enough. End fossil carbon burning, care for country, stop killing each other etc

One of many reasons it’s dumb to try and “fix” the trade deficit with tariffs is that trade wars hurt *exports* in addition to imports—keep in mind we usually have a manufacturing trade *surplus* with Canada, before Trump began wrecking that trade relationship

People seem to be under the impression that if you just bomb other people enough you can just get their government to implode with no further steps. Which makes no sense when you consider Putin has been attempting that for 3 straight years in Ukraine.

”The high volume of maritime traffic makes it challenging to identify every instance of abnormal maritime activity.” You are a state? I follow hobbyists that could code in weeks software to find large chunks of it if they just got hands on the expensive data. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The reason that the NYT editorial board, the Atlantic writing staff, etc hate Zohran is because he’s one of the only living progressive politicians with genuine intent of leveraging power

Why is this like the 10th time I read such news. And why every time it's Germany/Berlin? Stop giving visas to fucking russians finally FFS and fucking control more those you gave citizenship too! #UkrainianView

A right-winger -- a registered Republican, a Trump voter, an evangelical anti-abortion activist -- assassinates a Democratic official. Republicans respond by blaming the left. Democrats respond by blaming ... no one.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

feel like Israel is finally making the transition into a pariah by starting a conflict that nobody wanted and that risks consuming an entire region into a wider war of cross cutting interests

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.

Yesterday's #NoKings protests seem to have matched, if not beaten, the record numbers of the 2017 Women's March. Let's hope it can be repeated and will have electoral impact.

This is bizarre. CBS News' OWN POLL found that "support drops dramatically" when respondents don't think dangerous criminals are the focus. And TRUMP HIMSELF is now backing off them. Media refusal to acknowledge all this is akin to a deep sickness. Padilla is right. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

Diederik Boomsma heeft zich kandidaat gesteld als lijsttrekker van het zieltogend NSC. Boomsma geldt als uiterst rechts. Vanwege zijn zeer nauwe banden met Forum voor Democratie van Thierry Baudet kan hij beschouwd worden als een zetbaas van Forum.

Just a reminder that the Brexit damage extends to Schengen, not just EU. Geneva airport today, flight from Heathrow. Left EU/Schengen Q, Right Brits enjoying the Freedom of Movement which Gove & Johnson assured us would be preserved.

1/3 BREAKING: Last night, we informed clients that Iran's tankers have for the most part, vacated the anchorages of Kharg Island and Assaluyeh. The vessels have been dispersed across the gulf and we've spotted and identified a number of them today.

This is the military carrying out law enforcement, I'm sorry, there's no other way to interpret it.

It would be shameful even if the shooter were a Marxist. But the fact that the shooter is a die-hard MAGA anti-abortion zealot hasn't even reached him because his brain has been cooked to a crisp on X propaganda.

The suspect had a rifle in his bag and an alert bystander spotted it, grabbed the bag when the suspect wasn’t paying attention, and called for help. Absolutely incredible stuff. Video from www.reddit.com/r/GuysBeingD...
