"War is over when I feel it in my bone spurs."

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

So, um, what exactly are they saying here? Because if it's what it sounds like, it's pretty much contrary to everything I was taught about the American ethos.

This verdict is appalling — especially the conviction of Daniel Sanchez-Estrada merely for transporting constitutionally protected zines, similar to the pamphlets that prompted the press freedom clause. The implications extend far beyond so-called "Antifa."

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

An astounding statement from a federal judge about the executive branch, generally; the Justice Department, more particularly; and these subpoenas, specifically.

Andy Thomson wins his election to be the first Democratic mayor of Boca Raton in over 30 years. He won by just one vote.

You vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about, tūī edition.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Declaring “no quarter” is a war crime. Pete committed a war crime this morning. bsky.app/profile/bcfi...

Someone more knowledgeable than I am about these things explained the other side of "no quarter." When warriors said it, they meant no mercy given and *none expected*. I'd like to see Hegseth explain why it'd be all right for the Iranians to murder American POWs since he never expected otherwise.

“Their genetics are not exactly your genetic.”

Yesterday, I started to research mine countermeasures capabilities of the US Navy. Basically, the US Navy is exceedingly ill-prepared for a war where sea mines are a big part of the conflict. This limitation goes back at least as far as the Reagan administration.

South African immigrants to the US are returning to South Africa because the US does not feel safe, citing school shooters and ICE raids. apple.news/A9pQEUbPrT_W...

Because the heart of fascism is Us vs. Them, no matter how many it has exiled, no matter how many it has killed, its hunger for Thems means it will create more. No one is safe.

The federal government isn't supposed to detain immigrant children for longer than 20 days. But when a Russian asylum seeker with 5-year-old twins asked why they'd been held for longer, an ICE officer falsely claimed the 20-day rule had been voided. Says who? he asked. "Trump," ICE responded.

I doubt he even knows what it means, honestly. Which does not remotely excuse it, it just speaks to what a complete cosplayer this dude is

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Hegseth is proudly proclaiming the intention to commit war crimes.

BYD, China’s largest car manufacturer, is actively considering building a plant in Canada while also keeping its options open to acquire a more established global automaker.

It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

tired: harassing athletes for not covering the spread wired: harassing journalists for not making things up

i think initially there will be a huge desire to pretend no one voted for him and the diminished state of the empire is entirely his fault. but then there will be a wave of revisionism that will basically say what nathan says here. timing depends on how bad, for how long, things are after he’s gone.

Btw, there was a US-Israeli bombing DURING the pictured march earlier today, and the crowd just started chanting even more loudly and putting fists in the air.

I know it's hard to believe but dropping bombs on a population doesn't make them like you

"We were looking for patterns... the officers who joined Battalion 601 had...performed worse than their peers at the military academy. They had graduated toward the bottom of their cohorts. They had stalled in the lower & middle ranks. They were men whose regular career paths had quietly closed."
