My impression is that Putin has outlined a vision to Trump where the U.S. withdraws from Europe and Asia, and in return is given a free hand to focus on dominating the Americas. This is where the Greenland and Canada annexation talk comes from.

a lot of legacy news outlets are used to leaning on government sources. but now those sources are all radicalized freaks, and there's been no adjustment for that.

In absolute earnest, I think terror of “elitism” has put a powerful vocabulary for describing what’s going on here out of play. These people are vulgar, thuggish, unsophisticated, crass, unschooled, unreflective. They are low in a sense that has nothing to do with income, & it’s fine to say so.

What court, my man? The court of Guy Code? There's no filed case yet!

However annoying you find me, to win a presidential election Democrats need the support of people who are more conservative than Yglesias and to win a senate majority they need an even bigger tent than that.

The tiny saving grace here is that these asshats are so captured by their own delusions that they can’t (yet) bring themselves to just demand the AI lie, which is what it will take to get the thing to validate their worldview.

Maybe instead of 30 dolls she gets one. And maybe it costs a few dollars more. And maybe it contains the transferred soul of Charles Lee Ray. And maybe it's always yelling "Ade due Damballa. Give me the power, I beg of you." It's fine.

I think we get so used to using words like “marginalized” with the subtext “unjustly” that we need to periodically remind ourselves that some people and ideas are marginalized for excellent reasons, and have little value to add except possibly as object lessons in pathology.

This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

someone just tried to scold me for calling musk a "foreigner" since he's actually a US citizen and it might be offensive to other immigrants so my apologies to all foreign-born nazis who also cheated their way into citizenship

You begin to appreciate the pace of events:

Hitler became Chancellor on January 30.

The Reichstag burned on February 27.

The Enabling Act was signed on March 23.

Dachau opened the day before.

Merrick Garland emphasizing the importance of swift justice
it is so important to remember that IN THE MOMENT there was no one who thought jan. 6 was some innocent protest gone awry. everyone recognized it for what it was.
At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

Step #1 - visit local Starbucks or McDonalds until you find somebody working on their laptop (who will be there a while) that looks like you
Step #2 - drop you backpack right behind them
Step #3 - call local police and claim there's somebody that looks like the shooter
Step #4 - leave
