The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

It’s important to note that NATO is a DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE and Russia’s fear is unfounded unless of course it wants to invade with impunity and not face any consequences
It’s worth noting that only one nation has ever invoked NATO’s Article 5: the United States, after September 11, and our allies did not hesitate whatsoever to join us in going after the perpetrators.
"This whole notion that we are trapped into wars by the commitments we make to our allies—I think the opposite of that is true. We have not had to fight for any treaty ally. It is the reliability of the commitment that is the source of stability."

On birthright citizenship.
And why we have it.
i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

2/ Years ago, at a reception for a bunch of executive types (I wasn’t one of them, but I was there), someone seriously looked me in the face and said that giving women the vote was a grave mistake.

I’ll bet he’s said that before, and guys agreed with him.

Down with these billionaires who think they are better than the rest of us. Flay them all
I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time.

The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.
