Today marks one year since the Dec. 3, 2024 martial law declaration that rocked South Korea and still reverberates today. What’s on my mind today is the grit of South Koreans who rushed to the National Assembly that night, in freezing weather, to demand a return to democratic government.

and the thing is, in either case: why should we even believe that much? they’re saying what they think (correctly for the most part) will be enough for their base. we shouldn’t even concede to them this sad lie, and prima facie should presume outright butchery.
and deal with them accordingly

The “warrior cop” who demands special deference for risking his life because he got within ten yards of a fentanyl bag now seems like a precursor of the U.S. Navy “warrior” who claims that some guys that might’ve had cocaine on a speedboat were such a military threat that he had to use deadly force.

it’s insane that they do not do this and simply concede the issue. again, the takeaway is that whoever does not doesn’t really believe in anything, given the context right now.
Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

2) The two survivors were trying to continue their drug run by clinging to wreckage?!

A top admiral is expected to tell lawmakers tomorrow that he and his legal adviser concluded that the two survivors of a boat strike in September were attempting to continue their drug run, making them and the damaged vessel legitimate targets for another attack.

The full video of the rant about Omar and Somalis is so much worse than even the snippets that can fit into text quotes can properly convey. It is the longest he's maintained a train of thought on a single topic in months, and he's just reveling in it the whole time like a pig in shit.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Really appreciate the clarity of the president saying black people are ruining the country and this entire room of groveling empty suits saying nothing bsky.app/profile/just...
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.
But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

Yeah I'm less concerned about Platner failing to beat Collins and more concerned about how his presence will be an albatross around the neck of other Democrats, especially down the line.
