Three things: 1. Israel doesn’t get to unilaterally ‘propose’ extensions of a ceasefire that it has repeatedly violated. 2. Netanyahu was already indicted for starvation. Here’s more of the clear starvation policy. 3. It’s the beginning of Ramadan, the cruelty is just so brazen and shameful.

Every day should be like this for all of them. ALL OF THEM. ALL THE TIME. EVERYWHERE THEY GO. They shouldn't be able to go out to eat, to relax, to vacation, to shop, without someone making a noise.

realized while emptying the dishwasher that Yoda is precisely wrong. not malevolently so. but there is no do and there is no do not. there is only try. this is clear to a man in his mid-fifties and so should be clear to a 900-year-old Jedi knight

The DOGE Purge Isn’t About Efficiency—It’s an authoritarian tactic. I wrote a more in depth piece on the empirical evidence showing how liberal-leaning agencies are being disproportionately targeted and how this mirrors authoritarian strategies seen in Hungary and Turkey.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

This man is barely even a formal government employee, let alone elected or Senate-confirmed. A total failure of the Constitutional order, just broadcast & normalized by every major media outlet.

Don’t ever doubt the power of showing up to city council meetings, town halls and other assemblies of your government. Wear your support, applaud or boo with your crew. Use your personal days to primary someone who needs to find out

A friend of mine has a daughter with Down syndrome, and thanks to these programs she recently made the transition from high school and living at home to an internship at a major pharmaceutical company and an apartment of her own. But the techbros think that's all "waste"

"It’s a familiar Silicon Valley mindset, the reason startups are forever reinventing a bus, or a bodega, or mail. It’s the implacable certainty that if you’re smart at one thing you must be smart at all of the things." www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

It's not new for rich people to have no clue how anything works—no idea there are reams of paper on gov't spending, no idea what USPS does nor who uses it—but it is materially worse they now proudly assert their ignorance, weaponize it as misinformation, and suffer no loss in esteem for it.

Anyone saying the Democrats got their wallets inspected on the vote is, frankly, being either stupid or a wrecker, or both. The GOP flipped their own people. The Dems got their own reps back into the chamber, at least one limping out of a hospital bed, another with her newborn, and they were united.

Media literacy on food supplies 101. When you see scary news about how there isn't enough (wheat, eggs, etc) because of (insert disaster here) And they're always saying "Here's how much is gone!!! We must be in danger!" but they NEVER tell you how much is still left- That's clickbait!

Just letting you guys know that the FBI was considered "critically understaffed" in 2023, and sacking a third of their force for prosecuting 01/06 will not help matters. Again: you cannot destroy state capacity while simultaneously building a durable authoritarian state that punishes your enemies.
