Pretty sure this development is evidence not of "constitutional crisis" but of "constitutional collapse" courtesy, in no small part, of just six federal jurists.

There are various examples throughout history, from Putin’s invasion of Ukraine to the Argentine junta’s decision to invade the Falkland Islands in 1982, where unilateral military actions by authoritarian leaders were closely tied to efforts to consolidate power at home. @raders.bsky.social

Before the B-2 stealth bombers had even turned from home, Trump and his allies were hailing the Iran bombing raid a total victory But rather than citing his own intelligence community or military advisers, Trump turned to an anonymous Twitter account www.wired.com/story/donald...

There are a handful of folks I met in my Cato days that I’ve been disappointed and surprised by since the rise of Trump. Josh was not one of them. I think the level of his self-debasement is a tad eyebrow raising, but generally, it’s not a radical departure.

Hardcore bands need to play outdoor shows exclusively. The more hardcore shows happening outside, the more likely you’ll be able to permissibly crowdkill ICE agents on sight. “Don’t wanna get hit? Stay out of the fucking pit then bro. And bad news, the pit is the entire town.” #AbolishICE

Look, I don’t actually care if an immigrant did commit what the State deems a “crime”. Deportation is cruel and unusual punishment. Prison is cruel and unusual punishment. Execution is cruel and unusual punishment. You don’t combat injustice with more injustice.

Similar to X/Twitter MAGAs, I have a hard time believing most Bluesky Vote Blue accounts are actually real people. So I don’t let those interactions really affect my perceptions of the average member of that group. I hate Trumpkins and Progressive because of “real life” interactions I’ve had. ❤️

I have obtained new nonpublic data from ICE that shows that 2/3 of the people it had booked into detention facilities this fiscal year had no criminal convictions at all. Less than 7% have violent convictions. Most convictions were for immigration, traffic, and vice offenses.

You should oppose war and militarism for many reasons, and be very skeptical of governments and politicians who flippantly push for aggressive military conflict.

"Aside from a very brief moment that suited the appetites of western media and public alike during the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising, the Iranian people’s grievances have long been buried beneath the bombast of their own government and the strategic posturing and interests of foreign countries."
