It's surely a good thing that some of the biggest anti-woke breakthrough stories were breathless about college students calling certain acts of speech violence, because I would like our next chance at power to turn this guy's principle back on him
it does feel like an intense societal problem that the founder of palantir, the biggest survellience company, thinks like this

I find “civil war” discourse a little funny.
No one is going to be rocking AR15s by year 8 of the thing.
The final battle for Washington will be fought by the Cali forces rocking a mix of Type 89s, K2s, C7s, supporting by base M1 Abrams reactivated by Korean techs at SIAD and Toyotas in BDUs.

“Kill all boats no matter where they are going or what they possess” isn’t a strategy, it’s just a killing spree
WELKER: Is there any hard evidence showing this particular boat was headed to the US?
TOM COTTON: That didn't come up in my briefing

Out of all the countries that have need of nukes but don’t have them, it seems like Japan is the best positioned to get them no? They‘re putting stuff in orbit regularly which I have to imagine simplifies delivery system development somewhat

The reasons for the 14th Amendment are unambiguous.
On Aug 24, 1869, Ohio Rep. John Bingham, principal framer of the 14th amendment, gave a remarkable speech on “Equal Rights-Impartial Suffrage,” in which he said of those who sought to reject the principal of birthright citizenship, “no greater political atrocity than this can possibly be committed.”

One thing a lot of red state rurals are about to find out to their great sorrow is that when you annihilate your local professional-managerial class production line, you don't get rid of the PMC.
You just end up with your economy managed from thousands of miles away by PMCs who like you *far* less.

It’s been quite something to watch the “presumption of liberty” guy trash his reputation and legacy just to piss on immigrants and prop up a corrupt and clownish autocrat.

I really would like to hear a non-nefarious reason why reporters at places like the NYT, WaPo, or NPR can't take 10 second to tell us that the $100 billion we spend on SNAP is 1.3% of the budget or the $6 billion that went to the AIDS program in Africa was 0.9% of the budget. Love to hear a reason.
seriously, can anyone give me a reason why reporters refuse to express huge budget numbers, that they know are meaningless to their audience, in a context that makes them understandable -- such as a percentage of the budget? I NEVER get an answer to this question.
If every budget number was presented as a percent of budget, percent of GDP, and percent of 10 year GDP, a large fraction of the population would have a pretty good understanding of the relative sizes of these items and budget proposals pretty quickly

Theyve made the kings birthday a national holiday :)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Park Service will offer free admission to U.S. residents on President Donald Trump’s birthday next year — which also happens to be Flag Day — but is eliminating the benefit for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth.

If the Court arbitrarily strikes down this key part of the fourteenth amendment, I think Americans lose any moral obligation to show any allegiance to the laws enforced by a fundamentally lawless regime
Birthright citizenship is probably not integral to liberal democracy, but it is integral to *American* liberal democracy. Our vision of what we are as a country, as a nation beyond an ethnicity, requires it.

they were happy about the Blatter case because it seemed like a clean up and didn't realize that much more systematic reform was needed in order to remove the incentives to corruption and the structure that produces corrupt leaders. c.f. every Chinese anti-corruption campaign.
The world's wealthy liberal democracies looked the other way on FIFA's corruption for years because they didn't think corruption in sports was a big deal or worth addressing, and now find themselves looking at FIFA as a powerful, increasingly-integrated part of the far-right anti-democracy movement.
