The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

Thank you to my son and his day care for this terrifying Father’s Day gift.

this man is realizing what the reaction is going to be when he dies

Yeah I don’t love this. Very annoying for small upstart software builders (like yours truly) who may want to ingest this data and use semantic parsing on it for a feature that’s valuable to slack users. Take: this will increase, not decrease, competitive pressure.

Great job all around. Give everyone a hand.

Trump and his admin are not acting in any semblance of good faith, but the courts are accustomed to giving the executive branch a presumption of regularity and good faith. The result is a giant loophole that lets Trump flagrantly outside the law while the courts chase down every bad-faith appeal.

They sold MAGA merchandise on Fort Bragg before Trump's speech. The Army complained. They were overruled.

Thought provoking thread about the political beliefs of young voters (particularly men) and how malleable these beliefs are to new information/facts as compared to my elderly family members who have brain worms. 🪱

I live in a small town in deep red Tennessee. We’re having a No Kings rally tomorrow and HUNDREDS have already signed up to attend. This is a big deal. @NoKings #NoKings

I spoke with a former colleague of mine, a second generation Mexican American in his 50s, yesterday. It was illuminating. A 🧵 1/

I am nothing more than a tourist on this subject but what if it increases the probability - even slightly - that the mullahs are finally deposed? Since that would be a massive positive development, even on a net expected value basis, that is a good outcome.

Israel's bombing of Iran is an expected failure of Trump's dismal diplomacy. 1. Trump abandoned the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) concluded in 2015 agreement between Iran & US, UK, China, France, Germany, Russia to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief... /1

"I'm declaring martial law because I want martial law!!"

Wild. There are Israeli reconnaissance drones just hovering over Iranian cities right now, and nothing is there to shoot them down. What an utter humiliation of the mullah regime.

This story is impeccably reported, full of jaw-dropping scenes and scoops, but even better, she wrote the shit out of it--it's consistently, surreally funny, our own real-life, real-time Dr. Strangelove. (Seriously, though, we're all doomed.)

Good comments

Played pool at the Sharper Image store in Beverly Hills with OJ Simpson when I was approximately 12 years old (circa 1986). For the record, he was really nice to me.

This is a great thread discussing the current Israel - Iran situation. H/T @idogcapital.bsky.social
