None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Joint Chiefs don't change with a new president. Supposed to be impartial, nonpartisan. Until now. Trump fired the Chair, Gen. Charles Brown (because he's Black), Navy chief Lisa Franchetti (for being a woman), and the 3 top Army, Navy, and Air Force lawyers (because they say follow the law).

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

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.

The way to understand the hysteria over "woke" is through the lens of Ignazio Silone's famous description of fascism as "a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place." Reactionary forces always begin by conjuring a looming leftist threat. threadreaderapp.com/thread/16865...

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
