"There is no simple explanation for anything important any of us do, and the human tragedy, or the human irony, consists in the necessity of living with the consequences of actions performed under the pressure of compulsions so obscure we do not and cannot understand them." - H. MacLennan

Trump tells Putin what he wants in Ukraine in Alaska, and he tells Trump to work through Witkoff, and then leaks "Witkoff's" actions. Either way it is complete capitulation and a foreign policy embarrassment for the US.

"I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."
That's what the #ICE agent who rammed US Citizen, Miramar Martinez & shot her 5 times.
Then ICE lied & said she rammed them.
#ICELawlessness abounds.
If it can happen to them, it can happen to you!
So speak out & share!

🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

It used to be that one editorial or a really good editorial cartoon could significantly damage a political candidate. Everyone shared the same media experience, and one unflattering and bitingly accurate portrayal would topple a government.
Now everyone's media experience is fragmented and curated.

The 50 year mortgage -- indentured servitude.
An 18 year would have the mortage paid off by 68.
The amount of interest paid in first 25 years would be more than an entire 25 year mortgage.
It transfers wealth from labour productivity directly to banks.

We really need the science on the deleterious effects of male hormone replacement therapy.
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

But SBF supported the Democrats.
