This makes a lot of sense.

Foreign interventions being used to trigger domestic legal powers.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

The Texas Attorney General’s office has rolled out a snitch line to report “suspected” trans people using the bathroom.

“Suspected” feels really open to interpretation, so do with that what you will.

Night night sweet dreamies.

You don’t have to be happy all the time.
Feeling low doesn’t erase the good, it helps us understand it.

Rereading vol 3 and this will forever be why Nightcrawler is my favorite. A great hero and a greater human being. Thank you @gailsimone.bsky.social and art team for giving us the perfect version of Kurt.

Let’s just say that Trump’s address Wednesday night was not the height of presidential oratory.

Even while coming under scrutiny by Congress, Secretary Hegseth is doubling down on his executions as judge, Jury and executioner on the high seas.
