Retired State Department. Stabilization Advisor from civil reconnaissance patrols to the White House, now trying to stabilize the Home Front. Also, Star Wars!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

50/50 this ends in America with a White House looting to rival 1814.
You spend your adult life fighting against a dictator with opulent, garish tastes. You finally prevail and walk the insides of the dictator’s abandoned palaces: gaudy, obscene, covered in gold bought with the people’s money.

And then the next thing you know…

I don’t worry too much about this. 1. They’re mostly doing it b/c they’re cheap, and 2. This will simplify the roundup greatly when we win.
Doing this in anticipation of what, one might ask
“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

RETVRN!
A strong, integrated military. Robust support for the Atlantic Alliance. Bloodless, flannel suit wearing killers in the IC.

Aggressive civil rights reforms and national health insurance at home, the Marshall Plan abroad.

And a 91% marginal tax rate.

Proud to publish in the Foreign Service Journal. Disbanding a bureau won't make State's challenges with conflict stabilization go away, especially as we rattle sabers with Venezuela and Nigeria. #FSJ

So many feelings here.

@yaledailynews.bsky.social was the best of my college experience.

My bureau funded Yale’s humanitarian lab before it was dissolved.

I’m so proud, and so sad, to see these groups come together for a story like this.
10,000 dead in a few days, and the Yale Daily News calls it genoc

no wait

*touches earpiece*

I'm being informed that the term this time is "mass killings"

Huh. Interesting.
“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

A man like Orban or a younger Putin does this trick because it’s about power to them, but for Trump it’s really ego fulfillment, and there’s none of that pretending to be #2 even to a sock-puppet POTUS.
Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

Just the GOP in a nutshell: thieving nazis.
Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

If the Dutch are announcing this, you may be sure other countries have been pruning back what they share.

“Doxxing” isnt real: it’s a thing people made up because the internet gave the illusion of privacy. We used to all have our names and addresses in phone books, and it was fine.

Completely indistinguishable from a SS raid searching for Jews.

This is an SS search for Jews. No difference whatsoever.
NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.

A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.

One reason political violence is particularly stupid in America is that our ambient level of violence is so high you can’t expect your message to sustain for even a week before a random psycho drowns it out.

The Supreme Court just legitimated Trump’s recisions.

So why should Dems agree to any deal with MAGA, knowing that Trump can then ignore it at his will?

Let him do what he will, there’s no reason to abet it and no way to ameliorate it.

Hey I just needed files of an “E” name released. Earhart, Dale Earnhardt, Eisenstein, Einstein… who was that other guy?
President Trump called on the federal government on Friday to unseal all remaining classified files on the aviator Amelia Earhart and her disappearance nearly 90 years ago, which is still shrouded in mystery and wild conjecture. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...
