I never do this but I feel like, as a veteran, I have some small responsibility to express something I have found infuriating about the coverage (or lack thereof) about this whole "DOGE wanting to cut a million federal jobs" story.

Simply, the impact to veterans would be devastating. 🧵

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
Just to level set

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

it is incredible that America is one of the most culturally successful empires to ever exist, in terms of the popularity of its media exports and its deftness in propaganda, and yet somehow despite these riches, our god-emperor chooses Rush Hour as his favorite part of it

The shameful Trump Witkoff agreement, surrendering Ukraine to Russian whims, laid out in detail.
The Trump-Putin deal has more about building AI data centers in both Ukraine and Russia than it does about military positions to deter Russia from attacking again later.

I'm not kidding.

It is particularly galling that Trump is calling for the execution of people who actually served honorably in the military, while he took a bone spur exemption and famously boasted that his Vietnam was dodging syphilis in 70s New York.

Just a historically loathsome figure by any measure.

Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.

They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.

Jim Jordan begged someone to not rat out the sexual assault that was happening at Ohio State. He was crying on the phone. Groveling. This man threw out all his dignity to try and cover for horrifying crimes of sexual abuse. Think about that for a moment.

Rare W for the Catholic Church.
America's Roman Catholic bishops have rebuked the Trump admin's aggressive deportation campaign in a rare and near-unanimous statement.

"We as Catholic bishops love our country … we feel compelled now in this environment to raise our voices in defense of God-given human dignity."
