They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

hey siri, does the military like it when they are subjected to open disrespect from civilian leaders?
State troops sent to Los Angeles by the Trump administration, without the approval of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, were expected to sleep on floors or outdoors, a source told the Chronicle.

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

also a reminder that kent state did not involve an intentional order to fire on civilians, it involved poor training and incompetent on the ground leadership. and so if the claim is “the guard will fire on civilians if ordered,” you don’t even have an example with which to use!”

Less than 45 minutes after President Donald Trump thanked the National Guard "for a job well done!" Mayor Karen Bass clarified on social media "the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles."

yes! tried to make this point in my most recent column with a reference to "the king's two bodies"
I'd put this a bit more sharply than @steveinskeep.bsky.social probably can: Trump simply does not understand any boundary between himself and the government. He has no sense of the public interest and believes the government is an extension of himself personally. open.substack.com/pub/steveins...
Trump threatens Musk the same way he did Harvard
He threatened to use federal contracts to gain retribution.

1/4. If the US were engaged in an attempt to bring peace to Ukraine, it would place more tariffs on Russia, rather than exempt Russia entirely.

Here’s what RFK Jr. has done since a measles outbreak began which has killed 3 people so far:
1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination
2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids
3. Defunded vaccination clinics nationally
4. Hired a fraud to manipulate vaccine data

When you send innocent people to a foreign gulag, you are not fighting terror. You are practicing it.
NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

The end goal is to make education a privilege for children born into wealth while destroying the meritocracy that is at the center of the American dream.
Donald Trump’s order dismantling the Dept. of Education is yet another attack on our children’s future. This isn’t about empowering states—it’s about gutting protections for students, slashing resources for public schools, + abandoning families who rely on federal support as a pathway to prosperity.

It’s important to understand that concepts like "interests," "nation," and "sovereignty" mean nothing to either man. It doesn’t signify to them that the US thrives or doesn’t thrive, exists or doesn’t exist.
When you are partnered with America's enemies, this is what you do: you reveal war plans against a country to an individual tied to that country; and you place the US military in the hands of an incompetent.
"If a foreign country was to learn how the United States planned to fight a war against them, it could reinforce its defenses and address its weaknesses, making the plans far less likely to succeed."

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.
