Actually, the likelihood is 100%. In US jurisprudence, accused people are innocent until proven guilty. Hegseth's victims were not proven guilty; they were not even tried. Therefore they were ALL, to the last man, legally innocent. Hegseth ordered the murders of several dozen innocent men.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Don't blame the turner diaries troglodytes literally dismantling the Department of Education, blame the 11 year old with ADHD who needs an extra 30 minutes for the test.
So they're just transparently starting the drumbeat against a new vilified group just like they did with trans athletes, racial minority students, MeToo/BLM/anti-genocide activists, etc. right?

There always needs to be a group who's "unfairly taking your kid's spot"
Even by the standards of The Atlantic, this is an extraordinarily weak evidence base for an article.

In other news, the Telegraph has published an article frothing about Dungeons & Dragons being woke, and the gaming community is ripping it to pieces for being stupid (and disingenuous).
Even by the standards of anti-woke journalism this is lazy dreck. The first piece of "evidence" that older gamers are mad about wokeness is a random Reddit comment — that isn't a complaint about wokeness.

Remember—Billionaire philanthropy is PR

$6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need

An article that wasn't focused on elite colleges might be capable of considering that disability accommodations are about a student getting a good education for themselves rather than framing things in terms of a hunger games competition for who gets to be elite in society

I think we have to interpret this through the lens of
1. The tanking poll numbers
2. The freak out about war crimes

They are hoping some extra racism will cheer up the base and spread opposition to their political program/pogroms thinner. It’s a distraction and also the point. Simultaneous.

“I think we have to be careful with the Nazi comparisons” people are always waiting until we are five minutes until the Holocaust and then they’re like well it’s only ethnic cleansing not a Holocaust
Is this clear enough or are we still doing that whole thing where we pretend it’s about “crime”?

Fascinating to watch so many of the most prominent Dems continue to refuse to get a fucking clue on what every piece of actual evidence is screaming at them

Which is that if they don’t shape up real goddamn fast where this is concerned they can say goodbye to basically a whole generation of voters

Sometimes living in the future is quite weird, like learning that you can in fact thwart AI using poetic riddles. It's somewhere between fairy lore and Blaine the Mono.
Poetry so powerful it can cause computers to break the Geneva Convention is one hell of a scifi novel concept.

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

Headlines like this are extremely dangerous. Because moms of young kids are the people who make the bulk of the vaccine decisions for famillies. And for a lot of them, "reading the news" looks like scrolling past headlines on social media in the spare moments of the chaos of caring for kids.
