Very nice turnout - heard estimates of between 5,000 - 10,000, either way a lot of like-minded people, which was gratifying to see. Together we win.

Our media should be doing this all day every day, not just for Trump, but for all of his enablers.

The conservative war on rationality and competence has been staggering. It has been clear for many years that we would end up exactly where we are today by voting for them and thus allowing them to institutionalize their cultish ideology ...

It looks like future historians will say that in all the annals of American economic governance, the appointment of Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary—alongside the elevation of E.J. Antoni to the Bureau of Labor Statistics—was a critical sea-change away from institutional independence and... /

I literally did not know who Scott Thompson is, so I looked him up. Apparently he is with Graham Linehan - someone else I had no idea as to who is is. Now I am aware of both of them and can safely join in saying "Fuck them both". Thanks for educating me with your post.

Just fuck this shit! We just have to #VoteBlue and #Resist. It doesn’t matter what we think about Democrats and their leadership. We all fully understand the outcome of voting Republican, not voting out of apathy, protest votes, and every other abdication of our civic duty. Just vote them out.

The scope and scale of the purge of competent technocrats from state institutions is mind blowing. It will take us years to reconstitute and recover. Our priority should be to vote blue down every ticket, and to stop whinging about leaders who don’t push our individual agendas. #resist

A very interesting read with good insights and relevant questions as to whether the current hype around drones is justified.

Neo-defense tech companies are selling both cheap mass and a vision of future war. This narrative warrants scrutiny.

Well worth the read, as is always the case with Timothy Snyder.
It is impossible for me to wrap my head around Trump's statement that Ukraine should concede territory simply because Russia took it and is bigger.
Snyder goes through the legal problems with this approach and how it violates precedent.

As Ukrainian and European leaders travel to Washington for discussions in the White House this Monday about ending Russia’s illegal war of aggression, Americans would do well to remember these ten principles of negotiation.
