CBS filed a copyright claim against my YouTube channel for posting Canada's version of the CECOT story that Bari Weiss killed—SO—I downloaded the transcript and read the transcript verbatim. Here it is.

Please watch & share to fight fascism & censorship. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uRf...

Good thing Kash had the guy’s father turn him in on the Kirk case, and a homeless guy solved the Brown case for him, or nobody would ever get caught anymore.

What if the social media experience some seek is not post-truth rhetorical combat with the deck stacked against them? What if they prefer conversations and good faith engagement? Why wouldn’t that be okay?

On the off chance @timmiller.bsky.social is looking for guests this week for @thebulwark.com, I feel like @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social would be a great choice this week especially considering she was down in Nola for this.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

Ultimately, we are living in essentially unprecedented civ-mil times. This requires deep engagement and a re-evaluation of existing norms--especially because I fear that there are far more challenging situations up ahead, and senior leadership will find themselves tested like never before. 7/7

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.
