It sort of makes sense you’d be allowed to sink enemy ships during war. It’s just, when you pair that with “also we can be at war with anyone at any moment whenever I, the idiot president, feel like it, with zero rules whatsoever,” it kind of becomes a license to kill whoever annoys the GOP

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Incidentally, I somehow first learned of this on Xitter from him--he's trying to get in front of it.
Probably end up breaking something else by doing so.
One encouraging theme in last night's NC primaries is the simple fact that being pro-trans is now like being anti-ICE among Dem voters: to them, it means you're a fighter, it means you're not giving into Trump.
That's a really, really good sign.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?
NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

Throwing around baseless accusations of “fake news” during wartime may generate applause, but it weakens one of the institutions that distinguishes us from the regimes we often oppose.

BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%
As expected the far right is not actually against war if they’re allowed to brutalize brown people at home.
Twitter, post-Musk, shrank to a hangout spot for a subculture of the far right, but the people on Twitter think it’s actually the whole of American culture and its discourse, and our current government is a product of that online subculture, and so they’re governing just for a tiny online community.
Quite literally “we have always been at war with Iran.”
This is bad, and part of what makes it so bad is that this is clearly pulling from *genre* understandings of reality, which the statistical linguistic machine seemingly cannot distinguish from other text included in the training data. Truly an ideology machine where every episode of CSI is true.
this kind of polling is pretty in line with what we've seen from Israel public opinion in the past. There's substantial majority support for genocide and war. 1

What a government decides to count & not count tells you a lot about the priorities, concerns, and anxieties of its leadership.
They aren't counting because they don't want us to know because if we did know, it would further enrage us.
We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.
That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.
Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
