in shot, i the Post's facts are correct it appears
that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the "two men were blown apart in the water," as the Post put it.
It is unclear from the Post's Seporting precisely what role Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith:

β€œIn short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the β€˜two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’”

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

ICE held a 5-year-old girl, with autism, hostage yesterday in Leominster, MA. Used her as leverage to try and get her dad to give himself up.

ICE said that's not what they did. There's a video.

Trump called the 230 Venezuelan immigrants sent to CECOT, β€œsome of the most violent savages on the face of the Earth.”

This is a stain on America and we must make this right.

MAGA fascist Vance Boelter assassinated former MN Democratic Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and nearly murdered two more Democrats, and had plans to kill at least 60 more people, mostly Democrats, and mere days later this fascist puts out a call to unalive the former Vice President. smh

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Feted as a Florida hero, anti-drug advocate now embroiled in Hope Florida controversy Amy Ronshausen was named a β€œFlorida hero” by Gov. Ron DeSantis for her work helping to defeat a ballot measure that would have legalized marijuana.

A quick reminder…

Ocean currents circulate colder waters to the south and warmer waters to the north.

What happens when the colder waters get 5 degrees hotter?

The southern waters get hotter… which means more, and stronger tropical systems.

This is very ominous.

Suddenly All Elon Musk's Grok Can Talk About Is 'White Genocide' in South Africa Elon Musk has spread false claims about 'white genocide' in South Africa, and now his chatbot Grok keeps bringing it up on X.

If AI really is the future to the degree many believe, then the owner of one of the few big publicly-accessible AIs manipulating it to fixate on a false conspiracy theory the owner likes, instead of responding according to the widespread data it trained on, should be considered a watershed moment.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

In the three years since Ron DeSantis set out to rid Florida’s universities of woke ideology, my campus changed significantly. Professors suddenly worried about what they could say and teach. Some started avoiding terms like β€œracism.” One student recently told me that when someone used β€œintersectional” in class, the instructor told her not to use that word.

One colleague told me that he stopped assigning an article about lynching and white evangelicalism for fear that those terms could raise red flags. Another said she was censoring her language not just in class and on campus but also on personal social media.

Several professors have been subjected to efforts at entrapment. Last year a man posing as a student tried to encourage Muslim faculty members to criticize Mr. DeSantis and Israel. A similar incident happened to me. In October 2024 my department chair called me into his office to tell me that someone claiming to be a student in my Religion and Science class had complained that I spent 20 minutes talking about specific candidates, including who I was voting for and why. I was stunned. That never happened in that class or any other; it is antithetical to the way I teach. Fortunately

Brutal account of what it’s like to teach at the University of Florida right now in the NYTβ€”extraordinary climate of fear. People afraid to say intersectional and talk about lynchings. Fake students trying to entrap Muslim faculty or just making things up altogether. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/07/o...

Trump is just trying to amplify the existing hate and fear between the Muslims and the Jews. When they are fighting each other, they are not paying attention to everything he is doing to hurt them both.

Research at risk: Life-saving heart pumps for babies | Cornell Chronicle After receiving a stop-work order from the federal government, the future of a device to help children with heart defects is uncertain.

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects.

It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this.

The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.
