The worst thing about this 60 Min story is that the powerful are not held to account bc of the compliance and cowardice of the very specific exec chosen for this role. A secondary worst thing is that said exec will face 0 accountability A tertiary worst thing is that CBS News is no longer trusted

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

Empires decline all the time, for all kinds of reasons, but our present moment will be remembered in history books for the sheer volume of *voluntary & pointless self-imposed damage*. We're systematically dismantling what made us great, for no reason! Genuinely, with no rationale! It's wild.

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

We need to make the internet smaller and less uselessly universal. I want a small intimate community of like-minded weirdos, not a feed of everyone's dumb bullshit. Just our bullshit, dammit! Forums, newsgroups, message boards, list servers... Sign my guestbook and get off my lawn.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Love how DeSantis will stop vaccines for public schools when his kids go to a private school that requires vaccinations. So trumpian.

You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.

This is going to sound dumb, but sports is maybe supposed to be consumed this way? Porno sax gave way to Sports Shouting and in retrospect the former was clearly keeping the fabric of society together.

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Warren: Whenever there’s a crisis anywhere in the world—terrible things happen—and investors, you know what they do? Investors go to the United States government treasuries, because damn, it just doesn’t get any safer than that. Except with Donald Trump as president.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

America, you f**ked up! She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy. Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

1/ I wonder if there's a complement to Mettler's _Submerged State_ thesis: the successful state thesis. In brief: American government has *in many ways* been so successful for so long that Americans have forgotten why they need it, making anti-government rhetoric more appealing.

When there was a shitty job in the war it was given to the Canadians. We never flinched. As the US threatens us and allies like Britain duck, we know where we stand. Defending democracy might be a thankless job but give it to Canadians. We will get it done. My latest.
