But no crimes were committed that day, according to them.

So Antifa infiltrated a “peaceful tourist visit”?

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

I am fine. I half expected this day to come, based on things he has said over the past few years. So I’m very disappointed, but not totally surprised.

It’s just wild to me that I could misjudge my own brother’s intellectual capacity and character so badly. 🤷🏼‍♂️

straight up genocide denial.

I was, and still am, so shocked, angry, embarrassed, and disgusted. Heartbroken too.

I am just glad both of our parents are dead, so they don’t have to feel the same distress that I feel. They would be appalled.

I don’t know why I am sharing this, exactly.

Yesterday, my wife told me he posted something nuts on his FB account. In comments beneath a post marking the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, he didn’t just offer support for Israelis impacted by the attack, he voiced his full-throated support for Israel along with a helping of…

Yesterday I decided that I am probably never speaking to my brother again.

I was already not speaking to him. He is an anti-Trump paleo Conservative who still can’t engage with the word Fascism, makes excuses for MAGA voters, and still reveres Reagan.

But I held out hope maybe he would come around

Seems like other high risk, speculative assets probably would get smashed, even if they aren’t directly AI driven (e.g. crypto). IMO, anyway

I think the impact on GDP ends up worse than that, but…yeah

On top of being a total Fascist cunt, if Mark Andreesen actually believes any of this he is also a total moron.

If you had written this as a fake news headline a year ago, you would be called hysterical.

In 1998 a trusted person teaching a teenager to be a Nazi was the plot of a horror film, today it’s in everybody’s pocket and laptop via monetizable social media accounts. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Historically, the Insurrection Act has only been used in response to genuine emergencies. Some experts believe that if President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act simply as a pretext for a military invasion and occupation of multiple blue cities, it would represent a possible violation of norms.

Solar cell and battery prices keep falling, while gas turbine prices and lead times are rising. Any combined cycle gas turbine projects ordered now will cost more and take far longer than renewables + battery storage. It’s idiocy.
