Ah yeah that’s another fake one pretending to be us. We are trying to report them but @discord.com doesn’t make it easy.
Did you join the NameMC Discord or the “BlockMania” Discord? The “BlockMania” Discord server is a fake server pretending to be us. If you joined the fake server please tell me how you came across it.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
Autocrats typically purge the so-called “power ministries” (law enforcement, investigations, defense) of anyone who might be loyal to the law over the leader and replace them with loyalists who turn these agencies into personal weapons and shields for the regime.
We’re watching it happen.
Every political reporter in the country understood that if Republicans won a trifecta, the upshot would be what happened today: huge cuts to healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Yet they consistently reported the biggest issue at play in the election as "high prices." Why?
I have both *thoughts* and *feelings* about Trump attacking Harvard. And I want to share them with you.
Senators coming for my job now.
The folks who love calling everything “communist” are apparently pretty cool with the Dear Leader trying to dictate prices.
One of the crazymaking features of the current political moment is that MAGA keeps trying to retcon ideas that were just an uncontroversial part of our shared American values as of a couple years ago into some wacky left-wing position.
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.
He’s actually right about this one

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
We are way past impeachment time
One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse
I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.
Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.
No one should be above the law, most especially the President.
Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.
They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.
This.

I am lamentably certain that 90% of the reporting on this is going to say something like “some experts disputed the methodology used to calculate foreign tariffs” rather than “Trump made up a bunch of nonsense numbers to justify his policy, and they’re all 10x-20x higher than the real numbers.”
They love this “run the government like a business” canard coz it conjures images of efficiency and accountability.
The reality is, it’s about increasing profits for the few over the wellbeing of the many.
If the government operated the way a business does, the citizenry should rightfully revolt.
This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

So the Trump administration’s argument is that this dude, not a court, should have the final say on who ends up in an El Salvadoran prison.
Does that make you feel safer in America?
I have no patience for this temporizing. People are being summarily shipped off into slavery in central america under the imprimatur of the US government right now. Canada—Canada!—is putting itself on a war footing. We’ve been off the map and in uncharted territory for the last 250 miles.
“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
