The authoritarian takover of the state bureaucracy might not *sound* like a big deal. But SCOTUS giving Trump the ability to fire the federal government is a God-King power, and represents a failure of the American Revolution. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Brett Kavanaugh's "minor inconvience" now includes beating people up and cutting off their wedding rings for [checks notes] "observing ICE from a distance."

This is, quite unambiguously, an extortion racket.

Quite a moment.

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse. There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

If you base your whole personality around the skin color you were born with, I feel sad that you haven't grown as a person since you were ... born, really. Race is a human construct to encourage elitism, which allows for demagogue control.

Welcome to the terminal stage of capitalism

I guess the UN relies solely on TikTok when it accuses a nation of genocide. Same woman who voted for the Iraq war, patriot act, and waited until 2014 to support gay rights. She’s leaps and bounds better than Trump but we also need to be clear on how we got here. There’s a reason she drew backlash.

Clearing the way for criminals

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

This is amazing.

Really good question.

Let's see, Afghan refugee with ties to the CIA shoots two NG Soldiers in DC at the same time the courts are about to rule that the deployment is illegal. The conspiracies almost write themselves. What would you do if someone told you to attack a couple of soldiers or we'll deport your family?

Anyone who has ever served knows exactly what is going on here... Pete Hegseth (non-tabbed, leg infantry officer) has a bad case of "Badge Envy." It is a well-known condition where underachieving officers try and shit on those who have more medals and badges on their uniforms.

Are we taking bets on the political leanings of the DC shooter yet? I wonder who would want an attack on the NG to justify putting more troops on the streets or declaring martial law? www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Reminder: There was a DOJ memo justifying the use of, "enhanced interrogation techniques" issued by Bush's DOJ. That didn't stop the prosecutions of personnel involved in Abu Ghraib. Not one officer went to jail. Enlisted soldiers went to jail. www.npr.org/2006/04/06/5...

I have to admit the Russians are the best at dark hints.

Defending ourselves from ourselves

Expect full pardons for every person committing war crimes right now. And because we are not ratified members of the ICC, we are out of that court’s jurisdiction. The chances of any of them ever seeing a courtroom, let alone prison, are close to zero.
