Prasad can do these things in part because he can always go back to his cushy $300k job at UCSF when his time in DC is over. This safety net could be pulled at any time by the chancellor of UCSF, Milliken, or the Regents. Doing so is a matter of public interest.
These are war crimes, violations of the Geneva Conventions.
Increasingly I think we should turn the whole Trump cabinet over to the ICC to be tried at The Hague.
Reluctant to get sucked in by Trump, Iraqi Kurdish leaders have decided to stay neutral in the war in Iran for now, partially because they are concerned that at some point the U.S. might abandon them.

Seriously: If this piece of shit is allowed to be unbothered at the thought of our deaths then we're allowed to be unbothered at the thought of his.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.
“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.
Oh, we are COOKED.

nobody seems to fucking get this!!!! "the enemy gets a vote" but moreover trump/israel deliberately killed all the people at the top controlling the enemy, which does not destroy the enemy but in fact turns them into a dozen new, smaller enemies!! I feel like i'm going fucking insane
Hunter would’ve had way more fun with a $140M.
Ben Franklin’s posts would alternate between a savvy comment about a diplomatic dispute between Algeria and Tunisia, well also replying to onlyfans girls like “beautiful 😍”
"I asked God to forgive me, which he has."
Honestly this is the biggest perk of serving in Congress. Most people have to ask forgiveness and wonder. If you're in Congress you get a same day answer from the big guy.
Uh-oh! Worst person you know learned therapy words

Grok being wrong: The Onion does have (hilarious) print editions, but this specific "Sam Altman" piece isn't from them—or any real outlet. It's a custom meme image made to look like one, floating around since at least February. Spot on for the satire though!
Wrong again, dumbass
nice to see that some American institutions are still functioning

oh no
Dozens of North Carolina A&T State University students recently walked more than 30 minutes to a nearby polling site holding signs that said “Aggie Votes Matter,” “Use Your Vote or Lose Your Vote,” and other signs after they found out there was no early voting site on campus.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.
I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.
Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.
The New York Times right now looks like one of those fake newspapers from the future of what would happen if Trump got back in.
Wow. Dan Crenshaw appears to have lost to Steve Toth, a conservative Texas House rep

I don’t mean this to be a dunk, because I often fall into this thought pattern too. Something in America is very wrong, and your kneejerk answer is that the federal govt needs to step in, adjust funding levels, and fix it. But they’re not gonna do that, because the federal government is the problem.
I find it astonishing that part of the discussion around this war is whether a a leader who started it will get bored with it or not
Watching headlines about Iran with single-digit death counts feels like the early days of Covid.
Each death is heartbreaking. And you also get the feeling that soon, this moment will feel like simpler times when we could count the losses on two hands.
Honestly, I am pretty frustrated that there isn't more discussion, particularly on the right (including the neo-con right) about the *divergence* of US and Israeli interests here.
A democratic Iran, while not a friend, would be a victory for the USA and long-term probably a catastrophe for Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s long career was built on conflict avoidance—then, October 7 transformed and radicalized him, @Yair_Rosenberg argues:
OMFG they think we are the dumbest people who ever lived.
what bothers me about Chuck Schumer and the Middle East is that he is regularly disloyal to the party to Israel's benefit, including his attempt to torpedo the JCPOA and inviting Netanyahu to stump against Biden during the 2024 election
