On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

What if, and stay with me, the barbaric and imperious way the United States responded to 9/11 is an enormous part of how we got here

Brian Finucane @bcfinucane.bsky.social · 10h

SecDef announcing another illegal strike in the Caribbean against “narco-terrorists.”

Says the Pentagon will treat these alleged drug smugglers “EXACTLY how we treated Al-Qaeda.”

I can think of a few relevant differences between the two, eg 9/11, etc.

Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Caribbean.

This vessel—like EVERY OTHER—was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed, and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.

These narco-terrorists are bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans at home—and they will not succeed. The Department will treat them EXACTLY how we treated Al-Qaeda. We will continue to track them, map them, hunt them, and kill them.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

It took just 8 minutes for thieves to steal the Napoleonic-era crown jewels from the Louvre. There weren't enough cameras and the ones there were there were facing the wrong way.

Could a 50-year-old maths problem have foiled the heist?

Watching as a guy like Nick Fuentes has built himself into a major force for right-wing politics has been wild. I wonder if TIME hadn't interviewed him years ago after the Unite the Right rally, boosting his profile, if he'd still have become famous.

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 1d

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.
