Trumpers have established a secret police infrastructure in which growing fear and terror in targeted communities is the goal, not just a byproduct, of "enforcement" operations.

NH Industries to Take Back Norway’s NH90 Fleet as Parties Resolve Court Dispute The Norwegian government and NHIndustries reached an agreement to settle the dispute related to Norway’s NH90 program, after its termination in 2022. Story: theaviationist.com/2025/11/08/n...

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.

Lived experience is actually important! Elected officials who've never worried about the cost of groceries or rent or how to pay for childcare can't possibly deeply understand how to make it work! These fundamental needs are why I'm running!

Do you know what’s a counterintelligence concern? Our armed forces living with day to day financial uncertainty.

Amazing- the headline gives credit to Trump, then the body immediately tells us check would require congressional approval and the R Senate can’t even pass a $600 rebate, then it quotes Scott Bessent saying all the funds are going to pay off the national debt. Just incredible reporting on all levels

Also worth noting this is in the context of the defense acquisition system, a thing none of those dorks got anywhere near during their mediocre careers

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

Even in the retrofuture of Earth-828, people enjoy Canada Dry.

Not to mention that the poppy commemorates a war in which the national origins here being called "foreign" were in fact British territories and thousands of whose people died fighting for Britain.

What an absolute tell it is to pretend that looking @ events from the perspective of the non-victors somehow is feckless, leftist orthodoxy instead of what should be the uncontroversial act of learning how to use critical thinking&perspective-taking to gain greater understanding abt our past&present

The piece is excellent, but I want to highlight a valuable thought early in it: Literature does not change people. Life events change people. Trauma changes people. Catharsis changes people. Literature provides new mindsets to shape those changes, and outlets through which to choose how to change.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

Ok here's the thing about the carrier debate. Both sides are right and both sides are wrong (thread).

Can't learn. Too busy going fast.

Correct If the reform focuses on ICE because they're the Big Baddies in the popular mind, it'll completely miss the fact that the actual worst actor (so far) and the one with an internal culture most prone to be trumpist brownshirts is the BP

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways: First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices. Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

Have you ever seen 350+ printers in action? Now you have 😎 The Wild Hornets 3D farm runs non-stop — even through power outages and other external challenges. All for the defenders who critically need drones.

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Canada's provincial economic accounts came out this week—in 2024, all provinces & Nunavut grew! Fastest: Nunavut (6.9%), PEI (3.8%), Nova Scotia (3.1%), Alberta (3%), Saskatchewan (3%) Slowest: Yukon (-2.5%), NW Territories (-0.8%), British Columbia (1.1%), Ontario (1.6%), Manitoba (1.7%)

NPR's data analysis shows that the DOJ has tended to fire judges with immigrant defense backgrounds in its recent rounds of dismissals.

There is so much wrong her (the uncanny face, for one) but what gets me is the vibe of 'this impossible thing, having a woman say she'll love you forever and mean it,' - a thing very many, if not most straight men achieve in ceremonies performed in front of all of their friends and family.

As the shutdown drags on and more and more small / medium sized federal contractors go under, this will be the result. We’re getting into cumulative and possibly permanent damage to state capacity at this duration of shutdown.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

most of my group chats right now are federal workers trying to help each other find food and emergency help people are getting tripped up in red tape trying to get a pittance of unemployment that doesn’t cover DC housing people don’t have assurance about backpay and are worried savings are gone

I bought Barts a cat tree to perform proper neighborhood surveillance and I could barely get it in the house before he claimed it. And this morning he’s sleeping on the job. 😂 I guess he approves… #caturday

The laws of war are not mere niceties. They are lessons from centuries of blood agreed upon to keep the world more stable. Violating them isn’t hero cop who cuts through red tape to get things done, it’s psycho cop who crosses lines in ways even the rule benders find appalling and must be stopped.

somehow despite having a minority government, the Carney government seems to have more self-confidence than Keir Starmer's majority with 100s of people

Just remembering that the conventional wisdom that was building in the minds of senior officers around me in March was that despite all that was going on, at least the guidance was clear and consistent. I don't hear that much anymore. Lol.

“we find that papers involving basic scientists are 38% more likely to become top-1% cited works, an effect that doubles in applied domains…. Basic scientists appear to enhance projects by reframing problems in generalizable terms & connecting disparate literatures”🧪

I liked the part where he insinuated the primes weren't innovative and then named advanced manufacturing capabilities they're all doing, they're just not yelling about it all the time

I will criticize our PORs all day long - but I’ve also witnessed what fielding prototypes without the requisite analysis does to the force, and it’s not great either.

This is correct.

I feel like the chief lesson of Iraq/Afghanistan was, you need a hella of a lot of troops/resources to pull security until you can stand up a government/local security and even than its extremely difficult so for people not even a decade later to be like “actually you can do it super cheap” is wild

What if your conception of lethality is based on body count math, not the effective application of lethal force in support of national policies?

Once again: this is not what “feminism” means.
