Trump’s abeyance and merger of senior positions, here repeated, is yet another hallmark of his lawlessness. This centralization bespeaks dictatorial plans. The time to start working explicitly to get him out of there is right now.

Elon Musk's first ex-wife (who is a novelist) wrote this harrowing account of his insane behavior back in 2010. Sadly, way too many people ignored it. www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a53...

A while ago I posted hot take: murder is bad.” One of the QTs was “oh, I see, she’s THAT kind of lib. 🤣” Yes I am the kind who thinks murder is bad. Sorry. “The victim had it coming” did not recently start being a good excuse.

The left needs to work with liberals because a) the left is mostly liberals even if people pretend they aren't and b) the number of people who are committed to leftist politics is absolutely tiny.

The richest/saddest man in the world is emailing air traffic controllers that don't work for him, on Saturday night, to demand they say how many planes they landed last week, or else they get fired? Do I have that right? Loser stuff

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

All of the people cheering on Luigi and saying that he did nothing wrong when he executed a premeditated murder make me really uncomfortable. Once you say that he’s justified, I can’t trust that you aren’t going to say political violence against more people is justified, and that’s a real bad path.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

This is why people oneupping each other with opsec nerdery need to stop gatekeeping protests. Yes, use secure comms & caution when discussing actually unlawful activity. But protesting is lawful & we have to act that way to keep it so. Because our safety is in numbers. Feds’ paucity protects us!

the reason that the american right are leaning hard into their immorality - which they themselves understand very clearly to be immoral - is, at the bottom of it, they don’t believe in anything.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.
