While the US slides deeper into the Dark Ages, the European Medicines Agency has approved a vaccine that protects against both the flu & COVID.

“Please, sir. May we have another card?“

These guys always simultaneously want to be all-powerful and the scrappy underdog. The kind of defiant resolve he's talking about here usually comes from standing up to unprovoked aggression, not causing it. Even in a country as propagandized as ours it's hard to manufacture enthusiasm for bullying

Very Grim indeed.

Millions of could die from thirst vs. No they won’t.🧵

The DEA exported those jobs. Drug warriors restricted access to Sudafed cold medicine years ago to suppress small-scale domestic production. That handed the meth market to Mexican traffickers who produced it on an industrial scale & shipped it back to the US by the ton. Just brilliant!

Miller thinks it’s common sense to throw water on to a fire to extinguish it, but this isn’t common crime and he doesn’t understand that drug prohibition acts as a price support for traffickers. He’s basically throwing water on to a grease fire. He’s amplifying their motivational feedback loop.♻️

Here’s a piece I wrote in 2007 about how an over-reliance on militarized drug war tactics has basically thinned out the herd and ensured only the most efficient and adaptive operations survived. We’ve been selectively breeding highly evolved supertraffickers for decades. Sit this one out, Stephen.

The DEA exported those jobs. Drug warriors restricted access to Sudafed cold medicine years ago to suppress small-scale domestic production. That handed the meth market to Mexican traffickers who produced it on an industrial scale & shipped it back to the US on an unimaginable scale. Just brilliant.

Does he make you feel like the homeland is protected?

This is what Hegseth promised. He should spend the rest of his life in a jail cell.

Once again, the right hand doesn’t know what the far-right hand is doing. Iran doesn’t need nukes to devastate the region. A normal interagency process would have flagged the scenario below, but everything is done at the whim of the Mad King.

All the passive voice that’s fit to print.

This is what is happening in neighborhoods in Los Angeles. We can do better.

Maryland, New Mexico Become Latest Blue States to Ban Local Contracts with ICE Governors Lujan Grisham and Moore signed laws barring local sheriffs and police from partnering with ICE’s 287(g) program, joining eight other states with similar prohibitions.

The Maryland Democratic House majority leader says that he is well aware of the risks of federal retaliation for the state’s efforts to restrict local collaboration with ICE. “But nevertheless, we’ve got to do the right thing,” he says.

Virginia redistricting election can move forward, court rules Although Monday’s ruling means the redistricting referendum will take place, it is not the end of the legal saga.

I’m more direct.

If it feels like Trump appointed the most incompetent people imaginable to run the federal government, it’s because that was the plan. Bannon and the Broligarchs wanted to smash the administrative state and rebuild it in their own corrupt fascist imagine. Each department head was a wrecking ball.🧵

Don’t worry. Soon fresh water could cost than oil in the Gulf states.

I’m afraid he’ll put up a fight. Literally. He’s a former MMA fighter if you can’t tell from his conduct.

She fled Colombia because the armed groups she was reporting on were going to kill her. ICE wants to send her back so they can finish the job.

Isn’t he waging a war to overthrow a theocracy? Oh, right. It’s a crusade.✝️
