INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.
one year ago if you saw a guy dressed like this walking down your street with a rifle your first instinct would be to kill him
Fair enough.
But it also feels like some of the most damning and brutal elements of the files, like EFTA02731395, or this - www.justice.gov/epstein/file... - are not being discussed at all.
Heβs big with the zen-billionaire podcast crew and my guess is theyβll let him skate.
The Biden DOJ just sat on all this??
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by nameβciting facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
Really important to read this even if you don't yet agree with it
Look at Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag Archipelago:
The name is out - charge him with murder.
Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.
a small subset of humanity is holding the rest of us at gunpoint while it cuts holes in the only life raft we have in this universe and no one is doing anything about it. where the fuck are our leaders?
Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the worldβs number one superpower.
The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark
I shouldβve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered havenβt arrived and I canβt get a straight answer on what happened to them
Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.
i think the fundamental disconnect here, and i say this as an engineer without much creative talent, is that a lot of people who don't do creative things regularly (or ever) look at creative output (writing, music, whatever) as a product, and consume and experience it like a baby looking at a mobile

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.
They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.
Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening
One Battle After Another is further proof that some artists have the gift of prophecy.
Also the best time Iβve had at the movies this year.
Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.
One of the greatest screen actors of all time, and thatβs way behind his incredible achievement of creating an ecosystem for generations of filmmakers who changed the art form.
Every filmmaker on earth owes something to him. What a loss.

BY Glenn Thrush and Devlin Barrett: "According to a preliminary internal report circulated inside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, federal and local officials recovered ammunition with the shooterβs rifle that appeared to be engraved with statements βexpressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.β But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by A.T.F. analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted. In fast-moving investigations, such status reports are not made public because they often contain a mixture of accurate and inaccurate information."

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.
