kinda seems like what happened is that Bradley correctly understood that he was being ordered to commit war crimes but did not anticipate that anyone would later distinguish between the types of war crimes he was willing to commit

I block people who are so fucking sure there will never be consequences for anyone. There may or may not be but I do know it’s a lot less likely if we all accept there won’t be. That’s not wisdom it’s loserdom.

I would think Bradley’s reputation would have been harmed by, you know, committing a war crime, not by somebody noticing he’d committed a war crime.

Headline in 44pt font: “Dem leaders say Trump can do whatever he wants!” Body text, paragraph 20: “Dem leaders said that while congressional Republicans let Trump do whatever he wants, once Dems retake power there will be full investigations and prosecutions.” I feel like this happens constantly.

The only people who endlessly complain about color revolutions are dipshit leftie campists and Q-pilled right-wingers and the thing they have in common is they're both huffing Russian propaganda

You know my drill. 50 posts would mean a lot. I just need 1% of my community here and a few new friends!

Sincerely, fuck this cough. Not coughing blood any more, but good Lord it *hurts*.

SOON #battletech

lol lmao

Also, this tweet should be a scandal in its own right! The Secretary of Defense, currently under bipartisan scrutiny for potentially committing cold-blooded murder of shipwrecked men, is cracking public jokes about what he did - essentially spitting in the face of his victims AND Congress.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Atleast nobody will have to question if my works are ai or not so enjoy these practical effect wings I made after 7 years of building different animatronic wings!

One thing Republicans grasp much better than Democrats is that public opinion is often much more elite driven than grassroots driven. If Democratic opinion leaders beat the drums on GOP accountability, voters will come along.

So we need good people in government. There is simply no substitute for good people of strong conscience in positions of authority willing to say "No, I will not comply with or carry out criminal or immoral orders." But the greatest failure is that of the American people to elect a good President.

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

of course much of the history of this country is full of white supremacist horror but you don’t have to pretend otherwise to say we can and should be something else, you don’t have to hand it to the worst people alive

this is like reclaiming the flag - these people want to lay claim to the very concept of America as an explicit white supremacist place with no place for anyone but themselves we do not have to accept their framing, we can be better than that and better than them “give me your tired, your poor…”

Rent is due tomorrow, and I'm really short. Like $500 short. Meds are really expensive when you don't have insurance. Anything helps, especially via Paypal right now. (GFM would take too long.)

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing. This is who MAGA is now.

The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

ok this joke might be a little too specific

The fact that TPUSA posted the entirely reasonable comments from the instructor here as coming from the “TRANS PROFESSOR” gives away the game. They’re not defending students, they’re targeting faculty — as always

The hard fact is that hoisting Trump on his own petard by using his sobriquet of piggie is insufficient. The diminutive makes it too cute, too playful. Donald Trump is, always has been, and always will be a pig.

Shabbat shalom

"People laughed less and grumbled more, sang less and shouted more, and the sounds they made grew louder and uglier. It became difficult to hear even the birds or the breeze, and soon everyone stopped listening for them."

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The US government has declared its official allegiance to white supremacy and its intent to eliminate nonwhite people in the American population, and our political class won’t talk about it because THEY don’t want to sound extreme.

The sound I made is just like the recording of a cockatoo's voice yelling "What the fuck? What the FUCK?"

Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up. Your 70% number is just a fabrication. And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

“Witkoff is Russian” is the new “Mileikowsky” Americans, you barely understand your own country's geography and language, just shut up.

Man who brags about the Pulitzer Prize he earned for his part in helping Snowden escape to Russia after Snowden stole US classified documents is having a sad because someone leaked Russian documents that are embarrassing to Trump officials - who he does not support.

The "reporter" lady fucking sources and running catch and kill ops is a huge part of the issue with journalism but so is the corrupt sack of shit ex who knew about all this and said nothing till he felt personally betrayed and is now tossing out tidbits in planned instalments to have you pay him

"Left on the economy, right on culture" is also, as needs repeating a hundred thousand time, the central lie of fascism. OF COURSE it appeals to the in-group who thinks their well-being AND their prejudices will be pandered to.

Your family can be American for over a century, but your name and ancestry can be invoked to revoke it all if one family member is bad.

Jews should be attributed the nationalities of their ancestral countries with especial care; for Russia especially, only with their explicit consent. And never for Jews from Congress Poland!

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Instead of forcing all Jewish Israelis to abnegate their existence and apologize for surviving (same for Palestinians btw), we should be promoting cross narrative dialogue and work that says “no one is going anywhere, how do we live in this one tiny slice of earth without killing each other.”

They're waiting for you, Gordon. In the brine chamber.

How I’m rolling in to thanksgiving

God, I see what you've done for others and ...

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

It is - but only in some localities.

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked

"It is urgent and important to reject nativism and ethnonationalism. It is right and proper, as we celebrate Thanksgiving, to be thankful that we live in an exceptional nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." www.thebulwark.com/p/amateur-ho...
