In the head of quislings like Bezos, Trump securing 49.9% of the vote proves he has the Mandate of Heaven, and that the savvy move is accommodate oneself to Trump’s ethnic cleansing agenda. They’re more worried about pleasing the powers that be than exposing them.

AMERICANS DO NOT WANT TO ETHNICALLY CLEANSE THE NONWHITE POPULATION. Only a tiny cabal of dedicated white supremacists led by Stephen Miller wants that.

But Americans are being lied to by their cowed, billionaire-controlled media about what their government wants.
America’s civic institutions have to address the full monstrosity of this. So too do democratic governments elsewhere in the world. It’s not happening. It’s being allowed to pass - so as not to rock the boat. Rock the boat, guys, rock it hard, rock it now.

This is why Team Trump is furious about reminders not to obey illegal orders!

Because they are giving orders EVERYONE knows are illegal.
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

Not dissimilar to ‘Russia invading Ukraine makes no sense!’

What ‘makes sense’ depends a great deal on the baseline bellicosity of your population and how they view their neighbors
People who say Israel's posture towards Syria makes no sense are stupid and just refuse to accept what Israel's logic is

Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America

They experimented with some videos going in that direction, but the issue was that it was so off-brand relative to their other content that they just ended up abandoning the experiment. More a comment on algo secret sauce than anything, but aligns with my YT assumptions.

Anecdotally, I have a friend who is a popular food influencer (still has a day job but followers in the hundreds of thousands across IG and TikTok, gets a lot of free stuff). They told me they couldn’t get any traction on YouTube without pivoting their content to be highly negative.

Even were we to accept that our operations in the Caribbean were under the laws of war, this is an unquestionable war crime. So just maybe, the people in Congress like Kelly and Houlahan had a damn good reason to put together their statement on illegal orders.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

It is underrated how much of the fact that the Trump administration is constantly online and posting at all hours is because they have 0 ability to have recreation in Washington D.C. The city rightfully treats them like occupiers.
Stephen Miller is, and has always been a "Massive Whiny Little Bitch". He will be the first to bail out of here come January 21st 2029 or sooner (If impeachment happens), exhibit A: He moved his family to a military base, dude is the biggest coward to ever exists.

I find the 'the Democrats won't do anything' doomer line annoying, because the Democrats will be who you make them - look how much the GOP changed over the past decade!

Right now the party feels immovable but the moment it has a presidential nominee, it will be whatever that person is.

One of the biggest barriers to implementing pro-housing policy is the folk wisdom that building new market rate/mixed-income housing increases rents even though study after study shows that the opposite is the case:

building more housing lowers rents
Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.

Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

All 3 examples chosen for this thumbnail are from outside studios.

Klaus is from The SPA Studios.
Arcane is from Fortiche.
K-Pop Demon Hunters is from Sony Animation.

If Netflix had any oversight on the creative process, it had little to no effect on their critical success. They don't give a shit.
