(2/2) middle school or mall the outcome would have been different. And now that the nation's political and media elite understand this so well maybe we should talk about guns.
(1/2) It's difficult still to feel sure we understand what happened at the WHCD last night, except that the nation's political and media elite experienced something known to too many US schoolchildren and other ordinary Americans, and if that was a different Wash Hilton event or an ordinary...
I will keep criticizing the President and his administration for being a terrible president and administration

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."
Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"
this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities
Truly unreal and tone deaf. Barring praises Trump’s “religious liberty day” as Bishops of the US have had to dispense Catholics from Sunday Mass for fear of being rounded up by ICE.
If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7mo agoHoman: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."
I don’t know what to say except that human beings deserve better than whatever this is
A thread worth considering.
Abe Newman@abenewman.bsky.social · 7mo ago1/Leaders are abducted/allies are threatened but pundits and governments are scratching their heads on what the US is doing. Danish PM on Greenland "It makes absolutely no sense". Why? Because actors using old IR models when we need a new lens. Enter neo-royalism. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...
amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US
I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war
It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.
Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true
This is Trump celebrating the murder of Rob Reiner. That's what it is. That's what we should call it. People who said this sort of thing about Charlie Kirk were fired, arrested and banned from the US.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.” Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.” Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”
Freudian slip from Tom Cotton: "I think President Bush has every power under the Constitution to strike boats in international waters"
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
