Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

Very easy to contend that “all men are created equal” was manifestly not a founding tenet of the Republic. But the two things - maybe the only two things - that really did define the founding were: 1) I’m not paying for that and 2) Fuck Kings. This actually gives me some hope.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

I bring up Refactoring by Fowler a lot, but I really think every dev should read it. An underrated aspect of it are the "recipes". He provides dozens of step-by-step transformations to refactor code safely. Imagine being able to use the recipe names like a shared language in PR reviews?

I would also like to point out @mattyglesias.bsky.social that climate change could in fact lead to human extinction if we never hit net zero emissions and the planet just keeps heating up and heating up and heating up.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Missed that. But here you can see either how clueless Vance (vancing! Will post it in a reply) is or how much he lies about free speech in the US. The WH is a government entity. They have the obligation not to curtail free speech rights. Therefore: Banning AP is violating their free speech rights.

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
