As to whether "whether the president is allowed to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to a given situation, the Supreme Court clarified in Sterling v. Constantin (1932) that courts may still review the lawfulness of the military’s actions once deployed." www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

https://t.co/nMaArsaPbH In America, Cory Booker is talking for 25 hours for some reason, and citizens are posting “but girl the tariffs” all over the place. While on the other side of the world, they are like this is a restructuring of the global order.

I think everyone should get to know the west African term “wahala”. It generally means “chaos”, “confusion”, or “drama”. A clusterfuck. I’ve been on a mission for years to use it more regularly in my work. Because—- *gestures at everything* See wahala?!???

The “for you” feed’s algorithm on X is literally the antithesis of everything I believe in. There’s even been a new anti-high-speed rail push that is showing up suddenly.

like i have been saying, a lot of americans do not treat politics as “real” — they approach it with an ironic distance that allows them to treat clear threats and statements of intent as mere rhetoric. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/u...

The guidebook writer Rick Steves believes in the transformative power of travel. “I want to go home a little bit different, a little less afraid, a little more thankful, a little better citizen of the planet.” Read or listen to more on The Interview. nyti.ms/3ZApmZi

Chopping off Marie Antoinette’s head in 2024 would have not been an immediate hit with the public. Hopefully in a few hundred years an attractive masked gunman will shoot the immoral CEO as part of the 2180 Olympics opening ceremony.

Healthcare costs so high they have to train people to turn diagnoses into alphanumeric codes that obscure the price of this shit.

TV pundits need to stop asking why his family didn’t turn him in. Def going to need a bit more than 3 grainy pics on CNN for them be like that’s my valedictorian, Ivy League grad cousin that lives in Hawaii shooting that CEO in NYC. (Edited 12:42 PM via @skeetsapp.com)

Someone that looks like Luigi Mangione suffering from an ailment that inhibited sex is truly a tragedy. Which will prob get too much attention from ppl trying to detract from the role that the parasitic health insurance companies had in sparking this sort of act. (Edited 12:32 PM via @skeetsapp.com)
