Murder, second only to tariffs, has become an indispensable tool for the orange tyrant’s imperialism. Are you morally OK with that?

More like ‘The only nation that thinks it’s the only nation…’

Literally cheering on open racism

"highly trained specialists have been pulled into immigration work, such as analysts who assist in money laundering and counterterrorism" "new duties have included compiling addresses of undocumented immigrants...and making arrests at traffic stops [and] big-box store parking lots"

"Homeland security investigators worked approximately 33 percent fewer hours on child exploitation cases from February through April compared to their average in prior years" A tragic shift with real consequences - just one horrifying example:

We don’t need 9 Wizards In Robes to figure out if “national emergency” laws give this guy the power to randomly alter tariffs on a daily basis

My critique of Trump's indefensible policy of prioritizing white South Africans for "refugee" admission, while barring virtually all others. If you advocate color-blindness in govt (as I do), you must condemn this blatant racial discrimination: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Leo Vanegas, the American citizen that Miller's goons arrested w/o a warrant at a home site twice, is the kind of home builder without which you can't build new homes. Stephen Miller is the problem. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Thinking out loud: There's a lot of really heroic indy media documenting how inhumane Stephen Miller's dragnet is. We need a campaign noting that if you want to fix the housing market you need to fire Stephen Miller. www.nahb.org/advocacy/ind...

It’s not as widely grasped as it should be that von der Leyen is terrible.

It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.

‘…“The decarbonization of the world economy is irreversible,” Figueres said. “The momentum is building to the point where it is simply unstoppable, with or without the United States.”’ 🌱 🔌💡 🗺️

Just think. If Trump shuffles off his mortal coil, we’re only going to be happy for like five minutes.

Nothing to worry about, just the chief regulator of the media pressuring a television network to fire a critic of the president.

We need a broad coalition to reject political violence. Converts welcome.

A foreign country bribed the president with a bar of gold. Where are my Originalists at?

Norway’s Labour government just put its $2.1 trillion sovereign wealth fund’s ethical divestments on hold—under Trump 2.0 pressure and in the shadow of Gaza. My take:

Incredible piece of data journalism here from @wsj.com. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I confess: I don’t get all the fuss about this. This kind of periodic call — to return to the ‘development’ part of ‘sustainable development’ — has been a regular & recurrent staple of the discourse since the 1980s. 🌱

What could go wrong?

I thought only foreigners were paying the tariffs, and Americans were getting rich as a result. Trump said so! Thus, it must be true.

Imagine we had an ambitious, integrated industrial strategy that aims at decoupling economic growth from emissions across all sectors and policies, based on a Canadian Green Deal framework. We could maybe join this list of 35 countries at some point. theconversation.com/the-worlds-c...

This is the kind of financial advice that elites paid Epstein hundreds of millions of dollars for, by the way!

I was told there was a crisis of free speech on campus that must be reversed

Part of running a reasonably functional country these days is to deliberately update your map of the world; assumptions like large-scale geophysical patterns or the US not being bonkers -things you'd usually take for granted as foundations for your strategy- have to be reevaluated, often discarded.

JD Vance's rant today placing the blame on immigrants for America's housing shortage is straight from the fascist playbook. Consider this 1938 card, "Housing Shortage Is the Fault of the Jews."

So it’s going to be Vance/Musk 2028, isn’t it?

When historians look back at this era, they will read things like this and wonder how it all happened. A legal opinion comparing extrajudicial killings to police exceeding speed limits. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

Pure, uncut leopards eating faces party stuff here (and awful)

Wikipedia plagiarism + the crazy fringe = Grokipedia

"the wealthy and powerful appear not as master operators but as bumbling sycophants, eager to cozy up to influence no matter how villainous or depraved" PS read those emails and tell me you would pay that person hundreds of millions of dollars for investment advice

No one should feel scared to speak out against the government in a democracy.

Pusillanimous. You're going to have to face up to Trump one of these days, kids!

As student in my Intro to IR made a very perceptive comment earlier this semester: We’re used to the idea of war as the extension of politics by other means. But what we’re seeing in 🇺🇸 today is the extension of war into our politics by Zionists, by other means.

In other words: Europe (if it does not succumb to right-wing populism like 🇬🇧 and 🇺🇸 has) is the last candidate for 21st-century hegemon left standing. 🗺️

#NotTheOnion. Heck, not even the USA, for a change! 🇬🇪🗺️

Exam Question: Is fetishizing STEM rational or irrational (or macro-socially efficient) in the 21st century?

1. Rebate checks are a mainline injection for inflation. 2. 50-year mortgage is not that much different from the interest-only loans that helped fuel the housing market collapse of 2008. Good ideas for whom? That's the right follow-up.

People often forget all the wars we won between WW1 and WW2. 🙄

"an unusual mass deportation to a country with a poor human rights record that the United States had bombed earlier this year in an effort to set back its nuclear program" but we're sending them back dissidents "who repeatedly told American authorities that Iran would persecute them"

Undermining accountability AND burning taxpayer money at the same time.

A systematic attack on the rule of law. Watergate-level high crimes and misdemeanors happening every day.

Jean Moulin in Chartres!

Ghost-of-Anne-Gorsuch-Burford says what before having to resign in disgrace? 🌱

“…these are the sort of players who would fold a royal flush.”

Strong agree w @ddayen.bsky.social that the electriciity affordability crisis, combined w the data center boom, offer an unprecedented opportunity for politicians to frame the clean energy transition as a solution to our escalating cost of living challenges. prospect.org/2025/11/06/e...

‘…The scouts initially decided to continue with their food drive after Groulx explained to the girls that “just like a lifeguard blows a whistle to help somebody, these are neighbors that are blowing whistles to help somebody.” But after seeing more vehicles, presumably driven by federal agents…’
