A few reflections on the US in the darkness of Trump:
1. The US is unable to defend any values.
2. The US lacks all checks & balances.
3. The US establishment is cowardly & ineffective.
Shut up about the free & brave!
They are elsewhere, in Ukraine for example.

Not many people know this but if you steal Usain Bolt's gold medal from off of his chest you become the fastest person on Earth. You have to catch him first, though, either by running faster than him or by using your army

As a trained historian of #Iran, I regret to discover I wasted years poring over books and refining arguments. Amid the #IranProtests, I’ve learned that the country's entire modern history neatly fits into 60-second videos narrated after a quick Wikipedia search and scripted by ChatGPT.

I’d add, MOST OF THE ICE AGENTS PRESENT clearly didn’t believe it. Nobody but the murderer pulls a gun or otherwise reacts like some murderous terror attack is underway.

If lack of accountability for Iraq is part of how we got here, and it is, that problem includes Senate Democrats still having a leader who voted for the Iraq war.

There's something incredibly fishy about this whole story, how would a rusty oil tanker be able to escape from the US Navy? If they want to board a ship like that they can just do it. Smells like bullshit.

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
