Fuck off national review not only are you a somehow increasingly shitty magazine but holy shit does this mag / the right not want to play the “did your rhetoric help inspire murder” game I mean at least they shouldn’t want to if they had shame/a brain Fucking fuck off 🖕

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Judge Murphy in Mass. caused: -Street violence in Tripoli -The loss of humanitarian assistance in South Sudan -Disruption to the U.S.-Djibouti relationship because he is confronting a violation of his court orders. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Free speech on college campuses must mean that people can debate issues of U.S. government policy without government security forces assuming those people are possible terrorists and targeting them for arrest.

I beg people who talk about political strategy and tactics to do two things 1. Learn how people actually make decisions 2. Learn how ideas/people/etc become popular It’s clear most pundits and politicians haven’t thought about either. Which is why they are always wrong.

“Everyone has to make everything in the United States, or else!” he yells… as his family signs deal after deal for golf courses in other countries… and he accepts hundreds of millions in crypto bribes from unidentified foreign actors…

Very cool to know Sam's dear friend is the national security advisor for the United Arab Emirates!

"While watching a video of a protestor holding a Palestinian flag being punched in the face and shoved to the ground by several [NYPD Strategic Response Group] agents, I wondered, who is subordinating intellectual freedom to political ends here? Who is violating the norms of conduct?"

"the most acute problem the United States has with presidential age, capacity, and fitness is not about what people didn't know or wouldn't say about the last president. It's about what they can't bring themselves to say about the current president." defector.com/what-do-you-...

This was obvious at the time.

basically no one at the highest levels of government listens to anyone doing front-line media / PR work; it's filtered through six or so layers of managers, advisors, consultants and family members all of whom think they know more about media than they actually do because they consume it

trump speaking at the crypto dinner next to a lecturn with the presidential seal while his press secretary claims it was a personal event is just another one of those things i guess

The goal all along has been a consumer who actually wants advertising, who even seeks it out. Historically they could only reach that mark on Superbowl Sunday. Influencer culture has created a hard core of idiots for whom advertising is reality. LLMs are the opportunity to inculcate it from birth.

Unless you are under 15 years old, you have LIVED through one of the most sustained periods of mass protest in US history. I know that this might not "feel" like it to some of you but you have. And in hindsight a lot of people who did NOT participate will claim they did.

One thing people aren’t grasping about ICE waiting in immigration court to kidnap people at their hearings: DOJ lawyers are *intentionally dismissing cases* to avoid having to do any work & due process by just handing them to ICE. Pathetic & illegal. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Democrats in Congress: Investigate and expose why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities. There is no acceptable scenario where this should be permitted. @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems

No Jake, we’re in the mess because of people like you.

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

It will only doom the GOP is Democrats make it happen. The unfortunate reality is that there is little chance of that happening. Which is why we are here. Which is why we need a better Democratic Party.

Remember the good old days when Republicans pretended to be outraged by donations to the Clinton Foundation?

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

This is just false.

🎶Whhhhhyyyy don’t you ask the Kids at Tiananmen squuuuaaare Was faaaaashion the reason whyyyyyy they were theeeeerrreee🎵

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is it for me. Sure, Biden old, but he didn't do his job protecting the country right out of the gate. Hoping and praying the ballot box was gonna save us because no one in the administration wanted to have the hard conversation when that is their entire job.

When you realize the law is fully broken and now arbitrarily enforced to only help fascism consume society you will realize the only way out now is going to be far far more costly both in terms of time and lives.

this was the major failure of the Biden admin, and it doesn't really have anything to do with him being old or with the end of his term or whether he should have run again. 1

remember when google and apple went to go pay tribute to their liege lord? LOLLLLL
