Tucker Carlson and those of his ilk are against war with Iran because they're aligned with the Putinist / Alexander Dugin ideology that wants to create ethno/religious states that dominate their spheres of influence. That's it. And it would help if this kind of obvious context was made available.

ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE. And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.

It'd be a shame if real patriot truckers found where ICE was keeping vehicles/equipment and boxed them in. A real shame.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

ICE/Nat'l Guard in LA, ICE tactics in other cities and towns, the Bill, the Trump/Musk split, Epstein's guest list, Signal-gate, tariffs, etc are all important. The chaos is designed to wear us out.

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

MAGA and the "man"-o-sphere are consumed with being assholes. At their core, they want to be assholes to Black, Brown, gay, trans, women, experts, libs, and anyone who is tolerant and kind. They need to "stick it" to someone and the above are their favorite punching bags. That's all they have.

Where do our rights come from? Believe it or not, the United States has been rolling back our rights for 40 years. The biggest expansion of the peoples' rights in American history actually occurred between 1953 and 1969, during the period of American history known as the "Warren Court." THREAD.

For decades 2A types told us they were getting guns & ammo in the event they had to defend against govt tyranny. Where were they? Turns out they are just fine with govt tyranny as long as it is aimed at people other than them. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

This looks amazing. The White Christian Nationalist I'm writing about who was chair of the OR GOP in 1978-9 ran a bunch of MLMs in his day through which he ripped off people who trusted him, and he also got ripped off by a bunch of rich MLM'ers he trusted as well. Financially it was a wash for him.

Before the White House Correspondents Association dinner recedes too far into the past, I want to do a quick thread about something that happened there, which I think is extremely significant -- and is an extremely ill omen for the future of journalism.

I'd rather live in a neighborhood with 2000 hard working, family oriented undocumented immigrants who barely speak English than live in a neighborhood with 1 MAGAt. (Think of the potluck cuisine alone). Immigrants are the backbone of this country and the sharing of their myriad cultures is a gift.

Labelling bro-podcasts the "manosphere" is a bit generous. They are adolescents at best. Men protect, guide, help, know when to be gentle and when to be rough, care, partner and uplift. These are boys who embody the opposite; meanness, weakness and insecurity masking as overblown confidence.

Do you find it strange that Trump‘s medical records, school grades, and tax returns are held under a higher level of security than our plans to attack Yemen?

Across the last 48 hours, “Signalgate” has morphed from one scandal into what I think is best thought of as five distinct overlapping scandals, as well as providing some fascinating political insight into who has power and how decisions get made in Trump II. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-five-s...

I mean, if we really want a society based on merit, let's crank the Estate Tax to 99% of anything over $1 million. Let those born into wealth earn their place in society.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
