this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

a funny rumor from the same tech sources that told me Elon was angling to be shadow president: Elon has more children than is publicly known. like, a lot more. a lot lot more

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

The sheer contrast in how the US treats Ukraine vs how it treats Israel has always been so striking. Both administration restricted the way in which Ukraine can engage in warfare while giving Israel unlimited scope to do as it pleases and now the new administration is bullying Ukraine at the UN.

Does holding a security clearance gives the govt the right to piss test you at any time? If it does, next dem admin should unironically spring surprise inspections on every VC with a clearance. Tons of them will pop hot, yank their clearances, make them liabilities to their firms.

viewed video of this exchange. MassLive (the source of the article) fucked up the transcription and made Lynch seem less combative than he was: “I get to decide that! I get to decide that! I get to decide that, I’m elected! I get to decide that! You wanna decide that, you need to run for Congress!”

You're the part of civil society that's supposed to push back when a president fires a senior military officer on the basis of their skin color, not shrug your shoulders about norms like a fuckin quisling

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.

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

For once, I am going to doubt this. We cannot go around believing "sir" stories first told seven years after the supposed incident.

Democratic politicians need to start trying to break the bigger legacy media outlets' hold on narratives and steer the masses towards the smaller, newer outlets and independent journos that are breaking DOGE news left and right

as a general rule people who entered public office prior to 2017 are not really up to the task of Project 2029. there are exceptions but only after Trump won did burning hatred of the GOP become something of a norm among Democratic politicians

Unfortunately you have to primary everyone, not just because they don't have what it takes to fight, but because they don't have what it takes to rebuild. Last thing you want is them to win by default and then tread water until the next Trump comes to power

what the moment calls for is fighters instead of gormless boobs who should have retired 30 years ago. policy differences can be hashed out later, everyone can agree that Musk and Trump must be stopped and democracy restored

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

They want war crimes. I do not know why the media will not say this. They say they want war crimes. Heggy got his job because he supported war crimes on Fox News. They think it is good to hunt children for sport.

Literally just talked to an Afghan Uber driver in DC tonight who said he worked as an interpreter for US military for four years — and his wife is now trapped in limbo. He’s spent $16k in legal fees. “I served the US, I should have my wife here”

really funny to me that word got around that I put in and then rescinded my notice, and suddenly the more senior attorneys are noticeably more interested in me, as if they respect me for being the first of the crop of new attorneys to intentionally make management extremely uncomfortable
