Like much of that this regime does, the murders of Venezuelan fishermen and boat passengers seem to be being conducted for the sake of making social media content that demonstrates Trump’s masculine dominance. So one way to describe them is as snuff films.

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

One thing people find surprising about young mens' info diet is... vanishingly few use 4chan. Most guys are NOT swimming in this septic tank. These hyper-online lunatics are building a white nationalist ideology and exporting it to places thought to be more mainstream.

We have a 79-year-old failed casino owner making decisions for 350 million lives, bankrupting everything he touches.

He created this disastrous situation with China and won’t take responsibility.👇

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

There's a direct line from the beliefs of the Young Republicans and their racist and homophobic Telegram chats to people who work for DHS, ICE, US Border Patrol, and other federal agencies along with state and municipal law enforcement personnel who "tap-in" and get deputized to assist. #ICEraids

Arizona deserves full representation! Mike Johnson is interfering with their legal rights in order to protect Trump. The Epstein files will expose all the sordid details.

Rain. The hobbits & Strider become soaked as they continue pushing through the valley. They remain impeded in finding their way, while the hills further steepen & close in.

A miserable night with no campfire possible. Frodo restless from pain.

Strider and the hobbits pursue their way north through a narrow valley that grows tough to negotiate: pathless, confusing, often blocked by rock piles, roots or downed trees.

They try to spare Frodo, on the pony, by avoiding a climb. Fatigue sets in.

Approaching the Last Bridge from the south, Strider scouts ahead & finds the beryl left by Glorfindel.

He and the hobbits cross safely. On the other side, they follow a ravine leading north into hilly country studded with ruins.

Frodo's shoulder not healing.

People are very concerned with what’s known as AI psychosis. Observers are mystified. Users seemingly break with reality, based on what AI tells the user.

Yet this is exactly what’s going on with Trump & Co.’s concocted story about widespread Antifa violence, including an inferno in Portland. 🧵
