Just watched The Fourth Protocol again. I’d forgotten how good a soviet era thriller it is. Up there with Tom Nichols Red October for sure. And it has Michael Caine. “You two belong in a faching museum”.

The pattern: *Nobody died from USAID cuts *Nobody killed by ICE is innocent *No Muslim in UK can escape being labeled rapist or murderer *No Somali in Minnesota is there legitimately by definition When Musk says "zero died" from his USAID cuts, he means zero died who are actual people

An excellent deep dive by @gregsargent.bsky.social and @polphilpod.bsky.social into Musk’s Economist interview and the fascist worldview behind his claims newrepublic.com/article/2135...

The big through line here is vicious dehumanization: No kids have died due to
USAID cuts-none that we need to concern ourselves with, as they don't serve the higher cause of the nation. All Muslim immigrants in the U.K. are rapists and murderers; as Musk suggests, asking if you're "anti-Muslim" is akin to asking if you're anti-rape and anti-murder. No one who has been killed by ICE is innocent; as Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, puts it, to avoid violent death at the hands of ICE agents, don't antagonize them. No Somali living in Minnesota is there legitimately; as Trump himself says, all should be subject to removal by definition.

My little boy took this picture of his Teddies. The weather is changing and he does want Bunny,Ghostie and Co to be cold so he made them little coats out of,what he calls,”lonely socks.” Lonely socks are socks that don’t have a partner he tells me. What a beautiful way to call odd socks.

I have great respect fr Dems who say nothing nice about one of the worst Trump apologists/collaborators/election denier accompolices, backer of two disastrous regime change wars, accessory to ICE murderous rein. Why others feel compelled to is just... disheartening

Strongly concur: Lindsey Graham was a classic Washington shape-shifter. It is why so many Democrats, as well as so many monsters, are remembering him fondly today...and also why he was so dangerous and did so much damage. www.thedailybeast.com/lets-remembe...

Let’s Remember the Real Lindsey Graham: Evil’s Shape-Shifting Enabler

Forget the cant, especially from Democrats. David Rothkopf saw Graham up close. Now he fearlessly exposes the D.C. creature he really was.
