there’s a level to this story independent from the corruption and the desecration that already feels very familiar to some veterans of a home renovation catastrophe
Trump has announced his ballroom will now cost $400 million.
This comes as Americans' health care premiums are set to skyrocket in the coming weeks.

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

This is the case widely shared on video where a man had a seizure while in a chokehold. DHS accused him publicly of faking.

Republicans, who like criminals and want to protect criminals, are always confused when they are like "ok well what if we start charging your guys for the crimes they did" and we're all like "that'd be great. those were crimes."
After briefing on strikes off Venezuela, Sen. Sheehy says “if we're going to question the legal process and the procedural process to target bad guys that this administration is using, then all of you better start cracking open every single Obama kinetic strike”

I had been searching earlier for a map of this sort.
One cannot help but notice exactly none of these locations are particularly close to the continental United States, nor are most of them on any course that would ever become close.
Just murder for murder's sake.

your average debt collector routinely breaks the law to steal from poor people, generally with some level of knowledge and callous disregard. there are more altruistic prison guards.
We talk about "bullshit jobs" and other such while ignoring that there are indeed a few jobs that are legit utterly immoral.
I have no personal experience with poverty, I just think that what your average debt collector actually does in practice is a sin that cries to heaven for vengeance

The rich do not believe they should be held accountable for anything. It's up to us to do something about it.
"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!

Exactly. These emails are from the Epstein estate, not the DOJ.
This is also what the email senders and recipients felt comfortable enough discussing to put in writing.

America has long feared it would suffer the same fate as the Roman republic, but never quite truly appreciated how utterly absurd Roman elites had become by the time of the late republic.

the legislative history is utterly forgotten. We got the aca because of a republican senator switching parties and an unexpected death that gave dems an extremely narrow super majority for liek 60 days in session. It passed on New Year’s Eve quite literally the very last moment it could have passed
If we had been able to pass something better, that would have been better

i cannot get over how quickly this is happening. the decline of the other two branches/ascent of the lawless executive is outpacing actual democratic decline, which is usually what precipitates executive consolidation. but in our case, the other two branches are collaborators
We are living through the most consequential shift in the constitutional government of the United States in over a hundred and fifty years and nobody seems to have even noticed yet.
Congress no longer holds the power of the purse, the executive can just do whatever they want with federal monies

After the Peloponnesian War - I promise this is relevant - Sparta installed an oligarchic puppet government, the Thirty Tyrants, in Athens.
What rapidly became clear was that Athenian democratic habits were so deeply rooted that tremendous violence would be necessary to remove them.
