Maybe we can open the strait of Hormuz by pouring bleach in it.

I think anyone and everyone who’s worked at a think tank has read this Onion article more times than they can count in the years since it was published, and each time has, as the kids say, felt seen. theonion.com/boy-i-really-t…

I am sort of curious if BAP's "Bronze Age Mindset" includes a lack of conscious thought and auditory hallucinations from your brain's right hemisphere interpreted as a idol's command.

I feel like exposing normal bourgeois business travellers to ICE's tendency for brutality won't work like they think it will. share.google/UHLbtDxwI38T...

Good morning! Today I found this gem:

This is pretty cool!

Exactly right. The success of liberalism simply requires that liberals provide—and implement—solutions that improve people's lives. This is how we win. Thankfully, liberalism does offer real solutions, while most ideological alternatives can only offer scapegoats.

I really think Trump administration ally Viktor Orban needs to step up in our time of need. Where is the Hungarian navy helping to open the straits of Hormuz?

Hi Claude, has anything cool been posted about liberalism on the internets in the past day or two?

Liberalism is a conversation about dignity, freedom, and how we live well together. Director of Liberalism.org, @aaronrosspowell.com, invites you to join that conversation:

Liberalism is both under threat and at a turning point. It must be argued for, refined, and renewed. Today, we begin the work.

I'm thrilled to share my new podcast at the just-launched Liberalism.org. Now: Chandran Kukathas Next: Elizabeth Anderson and Jacob Levy Soon: Ed Glaeser, Simone Chambers, Melvin Rogers, Mikayla Novak, Theodore Schatzki Listen: pod.link/aHR0cHM6Ly9h...

I know there are parts of Bluesky that hate the term, but I think liberalism is grand, and not just worth defending, but worth viewing at the best way to a better future for everyone. That’s why my team and I at @theihs.org have launched @liberalism.org. And here’s what I mean by “liberalism”:

Asian markets can’t hurt you if you don’t look at them. Just pretend they’re not real.

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

Marjorie taylor Greene has strongly implied she resigned her seat because of death threats. It seems possible Romney chose not to run again because of death threats...

Iran ≠ Iraq "Many observers will note parallels to the 2003 Iraq war, with the US launching an unprovoked assault on a Middle Eastern government while denouncing an 'evil' regime pursuing weapons of mass destruction it does not currently have. But the differences are striking." I count at least 5:

"Seeks revenge" is a bizarre way to describe "suing over discrimination".

"This small business owner is already giving her customers a tariff refund" www.cbsnews.com/news/tariff-... "if somebody charges you something and it's unlawful, they should give you your money back" Cc: The White House

“if you won’t let us use your product to spy on Americans and kill without supervision we will single-handedly destroy your business by fiat” is the single most authoritarian anti-business action I can ever remember any administration taking

This is Trump's former AI adviser

It would be insanely funny if Trimp triggers a general strike and a capital strike *at the same time*

Just saying if there is a time to "go Galt" this is the time. The anthropic situation is like *literally the plot of the novel*

This goes for the right, and left 🙃

Presumably this'll get tied up in court, and we'll see where it goes. But the scary potential precedent is that any company that wants to place any limits on the use of its stuff by the military can be wrecked, individually, by the executive branch.

Extraordinarily impressive but I am very concerned that the USG might just try to destroy Anthropic out of spite (and because bullies like Trump and Hegseth have exquisitely fragile egos and can’t tolerate anyone publicly standing up to them). www.anthropic.com/news/stateme...

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

The tariff case and I got profiled in one of Germany's major newspapers, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: www.faz.net/aktuell/wirt...

My new @theatlantic.com article about our win in tariff case. Covers many issues, including major questions, nondelegation, implications for rule of law, and Trump's plan to use Section 122 to impose new tariffs (gift link): www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

you may also remember that the "board of peace" is structured so that donald trump, personally, has sole and absolute control over it. he's just stealing our fucking money. what i want from my dems? a commitment to take that shit back.

I really do like AI, but I wonder if a good part of the hype by SV types is that LLMs are good at generating outputs that exhibit inguistic nuance and emotional intelligence in a way that seems astounding to a community that is popularly thought...to be not that?

This is amazing. (Also - MAERSK and Lego are both Danish companies)

The US Administration ordered her to seized off the street by masked agents, imprisoned incognito for weeks, all for thoughtfully expressing an opinion with zero advocacy of violence or harm to anyone. Sickening, anti-Conservative, anti-constitutional, anti-American. We are far better than this.

I get that they feel the need to shovel money into capex and now desperately need some offsetting revenue source but even as a pure business decision this seems wrong to me, for the same reason shoving ads into Microsoft Word is wrong. are you building a Serious Work Product or not?

😳 "Media in friendly allied nation you like to vaction to reports your government is meeting seperatists in a secure military/intelligence facility"

I was really hoping that halftime show from a stellar Peurto Rican artist would have beem more political. Bad Bunny should have looked at the camera and said loudly in English "End the Jones Act Now"

What do these supposed super patriots think the patriot Committees of Correspondence and Committees of Safety were? It was the 1775 version of a signal chat keeping eyes on the British to make sure they didnt do anything heinous.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

Man, someone sounds really mad that a bunch of Minneapolis soccer moms can manage op-sec while the Secretary of Defense texts his battle plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic.

On the weakness of state terror: once ppl internalize the regime's lawless brutality, that they are no safer in their homes than in the streets (& vice versa), and that their unwavering defiance is what confounds & disempowers the regime, they also realize they have nothing to lose but their fear.

“you seem to be getting radicalized by this” you mean the government executing peaceful protesters and then lying about it and trying to destroy the evidence? yeah a bit

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Everything Stephen Miller and DHS say should be presumed to be a lie, without exception.
