And it makes us look snobby.
Bigger issue is no experience with the issue areas.
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
Will any Democrat in Washington DC say or do anything about this today? Or will this just get folded into their process debate?
No wonder they are also anti education
One general trait across time is that powerful people have justified systems that maintain and extend their power over others. They have use religion or science for those justifications (see the progressive eugenicists at the start of the 20th century) but the logic is depressingly consistent.
@lkrozen.bsky.social do you think dod used claude to get targets and then not verify the data?
U.S. elites treat everything Trump does with an air of unseriousness, because he is a ridiculous flimflam man. But applying that lens to the Iran war seems deeply inapt. Reminiscent in some ways of the lens many of those same elites applied to COVID from Nov 2019 - Jan 2020. An over-there problem.
How does @anthropic.com feel about their AI being used to murder little girls?
The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime.
And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.
Oh no. He was the best.
I'm demanding to know just how much money Trump's war in Iran will cost Americans.
Working families don't want to spend billions on an unnecessary war — they want lower costs and health care.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?
"I respect Bernie Sanders because he's an open socialist, and you know that he's a communist so you know what you're getting. Rand Paul's a freaking snake. And I understand completely why his neighbor did what he did. And I told him that to his face."
This is what Markwayne Mullin said about Rand Paul a couple weeks ago.
Anyway, guess who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

i love the handful of people responding to this to say that Dunks is bad coffee
i don't think they understand that New Englanders' affection for Dunks is only incidentally related to the quality of their products
The "median voter" theory of Democratic renewal really needs to have an account for what must be done about right wing propaganda's impact on that median voter. Via @brianbeutler.bsky.social:

Polymarket has pulled the bet on a nuclear detonation happening in 2026. There were obv concerns that a platform being used by insider traders would not mix well with a bet encouraging the detonation of a nuke. Polymarket didn't respond to request for comment

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.
Weird. What an idea!!!!
Maybe - and I know this is so crazy - but maybe Democrats should just go out and campaign against Trump and his policies bc they are massively unpopular and start worrying more about being seen as insufficiently tough and less about how to be a somewhat Republicany Democrat. Just a thought.
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
