“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency

Surely, the nineteenth package will do the trick.

there will always be people preaching capitulation as if its strategic. you should always ignore them.

I’m sure all brand owners like Coca-Cola are delighted by the butchering of their famous and valuable brands. Q: Is this dilution? #trademark

As I've said a few times, I had Judge Young for Evidence. And he was one of my favorite professors (and everyone should read his book, www.mcle.org/product/cata...). And he's written some opinions I absolutely LOATHE. But attacking a Young opinion is like a final boss battle for a lawyer.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I, too, would make sure that all the people who would need to coordinate to halt or reverse my political progress were gathered from across the planet in the same room while I demonstrated why they should probably do that

Now might be a good time for Democrats to remind people that when they return to power they will not hesitate to prosecute people who murder civilians.

The Caribbean boat drone strikes don’t have me feeling good about this.

After U.S. democracy is restored, whoever is giving these orders should be prosecuted. If there was intelligence to justify these attacks, I favor declassifying it so they can use it in their defense; if not, these actions amount to running a death squad, making a long jail term appropriate.

Killing regular people with drones is not some special fancy exceptional thing. It’s murder. When accountability is again possible, we need jail time, all the way up and down the chain of command, for these crimes. Heck, politicians might even benefit today from saying “Team Red are murderers.”

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Transformative work of the day:

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Palestinians do not need a British war criminal to govern them. They need freedom, justice, and an end to the decades of brutal occupation and apartheid. Any attempt to impose outside western leadership on Gaza after the genocide would almost certainly lead to more disaster. tinyurl.com/4ht5sna6

I would like the child sacrificed to stop, either by we stop doing them, or we acquire an orb with some kind of enchantment, I don't want to be too prescriptive about it, but an orb or other artifact with magical properties that causes them to stop.

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

Goddammit

I understand we do not want WWIII. But…if military jets are repeatedly in your airspace, failing to respond saps the deterrent effect of your military because it shows you’re not willing to use it. You down those jets to *avoid* the bigger conflict.

Happy 236th birthday to the Judiciary Act of 1789, which set the number of Supreme Court justices to six. That number is not an immutable law of nature.

I'll be discussing my new memoir "Coming Up Short" tomorrow at Kepler's Literary Foundation. The reason I wrote this book is to share what I’ve learned about stopping bullies, at a time in American history when we’re dealing with an authoritarian bully.

Sure would be a shame if Russians suddenly couldn’t get to Kaliningrad

Can call it cowardice, and it is, but regardless of how they react to it, a Congress operating under and influenced by the coercive threat of violence, as they now have been for several years, is fundamentally lacking in democratic legitimacy, it is something less than a representative legislature.

When someone says one thing to gain power and then a contradictory thing when exercising that power, the most useful lens for understanding it is power, not hypocrisy.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

All rights are contingent on the whims of the President, as our founders intended.

This is goddamn right. Make them do it.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

just really reminded of vladimir putin pulling a satirical late night puppet show called "kukli" (dolls) that mocked him off russian tv in 2002

What search engines just give you plain old search results these days? No BS LLM summaries, no whatever this is. Do I need to write a terminal app to call APIs and sift out the garbage, or what? 🤦‍♂️

M’lord, how dost one know when’st one hast mourned hard enough?

This is false. For example, the libertarian @cato.org breaks down the numbers, showing about 6 deaths from right-wing politically motivated attackers for every 1 from left-wing attackers. Moreover, the claim that shooters represent anyone other than an unhinged fraction of society is the deeper lie.

I don’t know what to do with the fact that the chief executive is ordering people to commit what is likely murder or a war crime,¹ sharing video of same/snuff films, and it somehow isn’t a bigger deal. This is literally worse than shooting someone on 5th Avenue. ¹ See

The New York Times is ON IT. This headline is from today, in the year 2025.

Ah, the free speech absolutists are at it again

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there
