We are rapidly reaching the point where the question of whether US military officers should disobey illegal orders will no longer be theoretical

Nehls: I would like to quickly address the police officers from January 6th. And I can tell you that the fault does not lie with Donald Trump. It lies with the US capitol leadership team.

It’s not often that one gets to use language like this in discussions of trade and tariff policy, but Europe needs to fire the damn bazooka

The anti-ICE protesters in MN and other places should start flying “Don’t Tread On Me” flags. That will really piss off the fascist goons, who think they’re are resistance patriots but are actually the personification of authoritarian government oppression

This is absolutely what happened.
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

I suppose I should be angry about something so profoundly stupid and short sighted as the attack on Venezuela. But at this stage, I’m only surprised if this administration does something that isn’t stupid, corrupt or evil

Until recently, deep and obsessive concerns about immigration were typically described as unrelated to race. But anti-immigration politics have always been and always will be rooted in racism. Sadly, many people no longer feel the need to even try to disguise where their views are coming from

The New York Times published an article explaining why there won’t be a major crash caused by an AI bubble. “It’s different this time” articles are a sure sign that we are facing a major crash caused by an AI bubble

LEFTISTS give this country back to Republicans as soon as Democrats fix all the damage:
- Bill Clinton fixed the Reagan/Bush economy, leftists abandoned Gore
- Obama fixed Bush's financial crisis, leftists abandoned Hillary
-Biden fixed Trump's mess, leftists abandoned Kamala Harris
- Bill Clinton fixed the Reagan/Bush economy, leftists abandoned Gore
- Obama fixed Bush's financial crisis, leftists abandoned Hillary
-Biden fixed Trump's mess, leftists abandoned Kamala Harris
I’ll put it this way: I have significantly more optimism that we can beat this particular set of fascists than I do that Dems will do what is necessary not to hand the country right back over to the next batch four year later

Lots of people rightly piling on @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social for his Kirk essay and positions in his Coates debate, after his wonderful pro-shutdown piece. But at the heart of this is recognising that if you play traditional compromise and messaging politics during an authoritarian onslaught, you lose

My family can’t travel to Russia because of our donations to the opposition and to Ukraine. I wonder whether we will need to add the US to our no go list sometime soon

To listen to the conservative justices of the Supreme Court talk, they seem to think they're going to be remembered like John Marshall. In fact they'll be remembered like Roger Taney. The evil they do will live after them.

Our societies don’t deserve political violence. It’s corrosive to democracy and gives our enemies what they want. But on the other hand, I do sometimes find myself wishing someone had aimed a few inches to the right…

For a bluesky audience the point is probably less salient, but I can assure everyone that free speech here in the UK remains robust and protected, and the chatter on the right suggesting otherwise is baffling

A superb article exposing the junk science behind the Kennedy HHS nonsense. As the parent of an amazing autistic daughter, I’d like to understand more about her condition, but I’m also proud that both my and her vaccinations were based on rigorous science that has saved many thousands of lives
A must-read, must-share piece - clearly deconstructing the shoddy science of the Geiers (who are inexplicably in charge of studies at HHS).
Consider this an early warning for what lies ahead. 🛟🩺🧪
