What are the odds on who first chatterer will be to say we'll be greeted with flowers as liberators? I'm still waiting for the damn parade in Baghdad.

Let me put it this way - there is no more bipartisanship. There is no more “norms and traditions”. This war is illegal, and every Republican is complicit not only in an illegal war but also in the degradation of our democracy and the powers of congress. www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/forei...

We’re actually just destined to relive the “war on terror” in various manifestations until this country collapses because US foreign policy is too stupid and cynical now to do anything else.

This should be repeated and remembered: I saw some folks decrying Ghost or Buttondown for being too expensive but... in actuality Substack's price is artificially low. Get out, now, before they keep you from leaving and come for the bill.

i just really love that OFMD will truly never die. regardless or whether we get a season three or a movie or some other secret third thing we’re going to keep leaning new things and creating things based off of that and that’s how art persists

I hate the way Iran treats its women. But a country that kept a brain dead woman alive to force her to give birth, and forced her family to pay for it all against their wishes, hardly has a leg to stand on. We treat women like beasts of burden and take away their agency right here. So…🤷🏽‍♀️

If you think trans activists went too far and Self ID was a mistake... If you think we should go back to the old days and it should be way harder for people to transition... ....you're saying I never should have transitioned. That I should have withered in the closet.

the takeaway from this is that, for all practical purposes, stephen miller is the acting president of the united states. trump is just play-acting as the boss, as he did on the Apprentice. (gift link) www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Our political scale has been propagandized by capitalism to make basic empathy a radical political ideology. But it's not. The entire barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long. That's how we got here: being conditioned not to care about others.

BREAKING: We just sued the Department of Homeland Security over their use of excessive force against protesters, reporters and legal observers. Exercising our rights to free speech should never be met with retaliatory attacks by federal agents. We’ll see you in court, DHS.

Prediction Study WILL be replicated. Studies with different methodologies will confirm this, and find related issues. CEOs will continue blind rush with "generative AI errawhere, allthetime" The only $Bs problem this $T boondoggle is solving is "Why do I, as an oligarch, still have to pay peons?"

At least once a day I think about how Republicans attempted a violent coup and the New York Times almost immediately decided that the real problems facing America were CRT and trans people. It’s a shit paper staffed by shit people.

Trump didn't do this by himself. He has the backing of America's wealthiest men, SCOTUS, Congress, the mainstream media, many of our largest corporations, etc. There has been large-scale betrayal.
