Please, someone get him a different nighttime babysitter whoops I mean intern. Insanity!

If you fear that AI will increasingly do our thinking for us and thereby deprive us of the capacity to reason, analyze, and create, the best thing you can do to forestall that in your own life is to read good books closely, often, and joyfully.

🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social to @laurenboebert: “Y'all warned us about government overreach. You warned us government would cancel free speech. You warned us about government usurping the role of the church… All that is now happening and your party is enabling it.”

Good news. Now please do the Board of Peace rip off/unilateral 10 billion he said he’s taking.

Women’s military service has often been overlooked. This article highlights the Women’s Army Corps and why their contributions still deserve recognition. Read more: ferrygodmother.com/recognizing-... #veterans #womenveterans #militaryhistory #recognition #community

The bad guys are losing. They’ve pissed off the normies. We’re gonna win.

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Democracy needs you. And local offices do, too. This Valentine’s Day, fall in love with making change where you live. Run for office: bit.ly/Run4what 💘

Thank you Senator @wyden.senate.gov!

We’ve stopped the sale of our public lands before, and we need to do it again. Steve Pearce is gunning for the BLM so he can privatize 245M acres of American land. Don't let "Selloff Steve" win. Call your Senator and sign the petition to block this nomination. Take action now: SelloffSteve.com

French prosecutors have raided the Paris offices of the social media company X and have also summoned its billionaire owner Elon Musk for questioning.

No Monsignor, the salient point is a White House and executive branch culture of spiteful hate and rot where hitting “send” is seen as leadership

The Trump administration is dropping its appeal of an Oregon federal judge’s injunction blocking the deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.

Still weird.

Every American needs to watch this:

Periodic reminder that if you are a military service member, veteran, or retiree you can stream the Olympics for free with your shopmyexchange.com account so set that up if you don't have one already.

After reading this, a better headline is “Trump and Gabbard Obstruct Whistleblower for 8 Months Citing Executive Privilege and Claiming it’s “Too Classified for Congress.”

Get in, losers, we’re flipping Texas.

I remain reachable on Signal at danlamothe.30

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

Important update: a federal judge has ruled that Russ Vought & OMB were breaking the law & must tell the public exactly how they are spending (or not spending) funds appropriated by Congress. I wrote this law years ago to ensure transparency and accountability.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Turns out it’s impossible to go through the history of women’s service in the US military in 17 minutes, but I had fun giving it the old college try. If anyone’s needs it, my segment (or the whole show) might make for a good lesson starter. 🗃️🗺️ www.iowapublicradio.org/podcast/rive...

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

TONIGHT: Join the mass call on documenting and recording law enforcement encounters. We’ll discuss how you can keep taking action as federal agents terrorize our communities. Using our constitutional right to document and record ICE & CBP is more important than ever: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Don’t let the violence overshadow that federal agencies are pissing on due process and trampling our rights. That’s what they’ve been trained to do.

How cute! Lemmings!

This!

This is it. America has lost Britain. By insulting the British Army and those who fought and died alongside the US in Afghanistan, Trump’s America has destroyed the “special relationship.” If that doesn’t sound like much to you, it should. #NATO #Trump

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

$655 a month for a I-70 spot between Terre Haute & Indianapolis. Visible 24/7

I think any straightforward reading of the foreign emoluments clause forbids the president from personally taking a lifetime office and title like this without Congress’s consent fwiw.

Spraying pepper spray directly into the eyes of a detained person who’s already fully subdued

TODAY: We helped 41 retired admirals, generals, & service secretaries file an amicus brief supporting Navy veteran and US Senator Mark Kelly’s suit challenging the Defense Department’s efforts to penalize him for exercising his First Amendment right. They said this about the impact on our democracy:

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

BRB, Gotta go buy some stamps
