Dear #NewYorkTimes: a broken clock is right twice a day. It doesn't prove the clock is accurate, it shows you can't discern the difference between a working clock and a broken one. Don't legitimize this fool *at all*. It isn't "news", it's a disservice to public health, even if he's right once.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

Zelensky on Venezuela:
“About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you”
Omg I love it.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It says a lot about our political media environment that Democrats are called upon to defend things they never said and Republicans are allowed to emerge unscathed for things they're literally recorded saying.

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things
they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

@dougjones.bsky.social Ignore the Stancil guy and pay attention to what Kat is doing. She's putting a campaign together that says "I care" with works, not words. It's brilliant. Her opponent either joins in and everyone benefits, or her opponent mocks her and loses the common voter. Just a hint.

Think of it this way: if pot is a gateway drug, scouting is a gateway introduction to a military style organizational structure, kind of ROTC lite. Note to Hegseth: allowing girls into Scouting was what every boy scout ever asked for -- the vibe is much better.
