A military culture where the Secretary say he will ignore “stupid rules of engagement” leads to the US sinking what they likely knew was an unarmed ship, killing more than 80 sailors with 62 others still missing.

Does this remind anyone else of the four hours Trump spent watching the Jan. 6 violence unfold before he called it off and sent in the National Guard?
Trump is clearly hoping that Iran does in fact attack Americans on U.S. soil so that he can have a pretext for declaring martial law.
Lol I guess mass shooter manifestos and csam were okay
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
I think they're bad parents because doctors and nurses are telling them what they should do and instead they're listening to a 22 year old nick shirley fuck on tiktok or a man with literal brain worms.
This liberal inability to hold stupid people accountable is why we are we are
Charles Mills' assertion that white supremacy is built on 'white ignorance' - specific, political acts of forgetting - meets Manduhai Buyandelger's theory that repressive regimes deploy 'technologies of forgetting' at scale to set up the pretense for atrocities
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
nytimes: What to know about the report. Job growth fizzled in February, a sign of unexpected weakness in the labor market. Employers cut 92,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department reported on Friday, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4 percent. The job losses cut across nearly all major sectors, including health care, which was weighed down by a nurses strike in California.
lol “unexpected”

Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes. Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region. The strikes mark what is believed to be the world’s first military attack against the US “hyperscalers” that dominate the global cloud computing market. That could create a chilling effect on the UAE and Saudi Arabia’s plans to spend billions of dollars on local AI infrastructure in the coming years, a crucial plank of the oil-rich states’ efforts to diversify their economies. “The Iranians view data centres as part of the conflict,” said Matt Pearl, a director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think-tank.
Iran acknowledges they are targeting AWS and Azure data centres. "The Iranians view data centres as part of the conflict,” said Matt Pearl, a director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take
NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”
They fund it in Gaza. They're doing it to Venezuelan fisherman. They're doing it in Iran. They're doing it in the streets and in concentration camps to immigrants in the US. They've done it to US citizen protestors on the streets in Minnesota.
There are no limits to what they are capable of.
I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.
Energy markets to equity traders:
War is the worst of human endeavors, but the reason militaries do not fight by pure thuggery, as the United States now does, is that it ultimately puts us more at risk and defiles us as a country. What are we even fighting for if we are nothing but the biggest bully on the block?
if you're wondering why people like me care so much about getting the specifics right on this stuff, it's because nefarious actors in places like Moscow and Beijing have absolutely already weaponized this shit in support of their asshole aims

“Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences” is a genuinely stunning statement given current events both at home and abroad
Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Lastly there's the deepest level, which structures so much of our politics: A lot of these dudes think the D party has become the "girl" party and that it cannot win elections if it's the "girl" party; and they're utterly desperate to support any candidate they think will increase the D's manliness
if we're lucky, josh is legally allowed to take the phones of half the devs at bluesky
