how do you develop your own niche if you are from a crime family? just do internships with various uncles until you learn that forging import papers is really your thing?

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

1) Every Republican district has been hit hard by Trump's actions, but THIS is their focus? 2) There are no transgender K-12 athletes in MN. ZERO! 3) They have to lie to vilify. 4) There will be GOP forced genital inspections of girls. This is ONLY about hate. www.startribune.com/bill-at-legi...

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

So, ridicule Americans who want to flee abroad all you want. But remember, there’s a reason why Germany produced the most Nobel laureates before World War II, but the U.S. took the lead afterward.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

I hope nobody deludes themselves that the "common economic interests" Rubio mentioned in the context of the emerging US-russia partnership mean anything else besides dirty campaign finance, russian olligarchic penetration of America, and massive corruption.

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

You can be allowed, in certain circumstances with good enough reasons, to be a pseudonymous litigant. This is DOJ acting as though the head of a government agency being sued in their official capacity can be an anonymous litigant, unknown not just to the opposing party but the court. Insanity.

Today is the Day of Remembrance, the 83rd anniversary of the forced removal of 120,000 people of Japanese descent to American concentration camps. American soldiers physically tortured and murdered Japanese Americans in these camps. Their money, homes, businesses, and wealth were stolen.

Yeah, at this point I'm waiting for them to start daubing "Jakarta" on city walls. However, then I remember that instead of doing that, they'll do this.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

When it’s over, there will be attempts to spin an epic narrative about this. Realist IR theorists will come up with some balance of power BS, the media will try to make it some kind of operatic tragedy, etc. Resist this. It was stupid and pathetic and senseless. Don’t let them gaslight you.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

One of the things you are seeing right now is federal employees afraid to go on the record, plus inspectors generals are fired. Qualified and credible voices who know the inner workings of govt are afraid to rebut DOGE's bullshit. This is a real and incredibly consequential chilling effect!

this is one of my favorite books (it's not anything super-profound, just a really well written gritty sci-fi ), and I've come back to this quote from it over and over again recently.

democracy in michigan and wisconsin was crushed to the point of near-irreversibility until 2020 -- vastly worse than what trump seems likely to be able to do before 2028 -- and we fought back, inch by inch, until we took it back, despite Republicans having both structural advantages and real support
