Initial reports I’m hearing are that it was not cyber www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

It's camel vs needle time

One of the benefits of being an enormous narcissist is that you can walk important people through your curio collection of symbols of self-regard without once suspecting that you’re increasing their contempt for you by the second

My favorite doctor and companion

it's really impressive that a baby born yesterday was already appointed to a position on the dc circuit www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

It would be excellent if he were just to say “we are never making a deal with this mafia-ass organization, we’ll see them in court if they really want to press this lawless bullshit further” but I notice that he did not.

Hell yeah, Gary D!

A farmers market in deep blue Brighton, NY might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But over a lengthy discussion of the health risks of kombucha for pregnant women, you can hear whispers that woke is the reason the NYT spelling bee doesn’t count racial slurs as dictionary words.

You don't need staffs and process to manage complex problems if you don't believe any problems are particularly complex.

hold my calls, cancel my meetings. We have BUSINESS to attend to.

Some Spirit notes: • Hatch (concussion) is training/hasn't had any setbacks • No return timeline for Rodman (back), who's working w/ club + USSF doctors • Jaguars fan Esme Morgan was so excited about the Travis Hunter pick that Kate Wiesner heard her cheers from three floors up in their building

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

I would rather watch my own autopsy

Dug up some old quotes from Andi Sullivan and Ashley Sanchez from a few weeks after Ricketts had joined the Spirit in 2023:

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.

The institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy; rule of law, consistent regulation, stability, and all the rest. That’s what’s being destroyed and that’s what risks the *entire economy. Saying that out loud shouldn’t (and can’t) be a risk

good to watch. but there's one part in here that most will probably overlook. stability, the constitution and the rule of law are magnets for capital. an elemental observation that's at the root of basically every study of economics and capitalism.
