It had become apparent to myself & @thelookout.bsky.social that there was Russian activity, possibly related to subsurface detection infrastructure, happening in the Barents Sea.

This is a map we did back in June of 2024, of selected AIS tracks.

It's great to see confirmation from journalists.

And much easier to sell the Swedish public on Eurobonds(ie “Russian assets”) when money flows to Sweden. This is why Eurobonds for defense are like reverse NGEU.. money flows north, instead of south

For Trump, it's never been about personal loyalty, but loyalty to the grift; a willingness to abet, at the least.

But people like Miller and Vought discovered they were too weak to strangle hookers, so they went into government.

As others have pointed out, corruption is an essential element of fa

When people call it fascism, it's almost giving Trump too much credit. It's just a looting spree. All the ideological moves - the murders at sea, the masked goons arresting folks in the streets, the collapse of rule of law - are just cover to steal as much as he can

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

What I wrote below, or, more coherently, something much bigger, akin to what David Brooks wrote about last week in The Atlantic, which was roundly poo-pooed here on BlueSky as undermining No Kings, which anyone would understand as an absurd take if they actually read Brooks' piece.

Evergreen problem of the left coalition.

Dems should adopt new identity as an ecumenical party, get rid of all but most basic planks, and actively spurn sectarian monomania.

Reorganize as a simple pipeline for any anti-fascist hopefuls. No cultural purity tests; push for primary/caucus reform. 🤷

I think you're talking about coalition building?

No. I mean, yeah, they're stupid, but they also lie with abandon; why not now (about AUMF aegis)? Because this is yet another example of intentional front-loading to buttress the Unitary Executive argument.
