I was a WWII historian from 1989-1995. Can confirm.
I don't think it's a coincidence that all of this (worldwide) is happening when most of the people who lived through WWII have just died. We need to do a better job of keeping their memories and ideals alive.

I know there’s a lot going on here but our disgraced, addled leader is also encouraging and enabling escalating genocide in Ukraine.
Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, remains in total darkness yet another day after a brutal Russian attack. No heat, electricity, or water. Subzero temperatures. The mayor has advised people to leave the city if they can to try to avoid mass deaths. This is Russian genocide of Ukrainians.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
For the love of all that is decent and holy: abolish ICE

small-government conservatism is when a guy in a mask who won't show you his badge shoots you through the window of your car while you're driving away from him

A federal immigration agent’s killing of a woman driving an SUV fits into a tragic pattern.

Five years ago, we watched a violent mob try to overturn an election. We don’t honor democracy by forgetting that day. We honor it by defending the truth, strengthening institutions, and refusing to normalize political violence.

It's an upside down world.
@marcelias.bsky.social is right. Expect Venezuelan VP Delcy Rodriguez or someone similarly senior there to claim that Venezuela rigged the 2020 election. They'll manufacture "evidence."

This will be their "payment" to Trump to let them stay in charge. That and handing over their oil. Wait for it.
If you think the attack on Venezuela is only about oil then you haven't ready my latest for Democracy Docket. Trump wants the oil, but he really wants to spread election denialism.

The Epstein files production we received from the DOJ last month was both incomplete and overly redacted. Entire pages blacked out with ZERO explanation.

A clear obstruction of justice for survivors and accountability for co-conspirators.

We won’t stop until we get the truth.

I'm a former federal prosecutor who handled criminal prosecutions for DOJ. This comment by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social is exactly correct.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

What would the world have done without Bill & Hillary to demonize for decades? Acres of newsprint in the NY Times alone. All those tremulously spiteful columns by Maureen Dowd.
Pretty damn funny. I doubt Bill is clean in the files, so maybe he's just trying to make sure if he goes down the 🟠💩 and everyone else goes down with him. As they all should.
Nothing about this whole Epstein story is funny except maybe this. Trump spends months freaking out and his DOJ jumps through hoops to hide the evidence, meanwhile they kept trying to distract us by pointing at Clinton. Now Clinton demands a full release, and Trump looks ridiculous in comparison.

There's a dark hilarity to them citing the fact that the Brown shooter was Portuguese, because Rhode Island has the largest Portuguese population in the country per-capita.

Dude was Portuguese? Throw a fuckin' rock. You'll hit at least two Soares, a Ferreira, and a Medeiros.
meanwhile, the Twitterati are calling for a ban on all travel from Europe
