Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

Defending ourselves from ourselves
Additional U.S. Marines being sent to Haiti to defend the embassy from gang attacks face a grim reality: They're increasingly being targeted by American-made, military-grade firearms.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

Ten of the prisoners that Trump officials want to transfer to ADX, a supermax prison in Colorado, have serious mental health conditions, which their lawyers say will be exacerbated by the near total isolation of the conditions there.

Nah. Save time and just call them Republicans.
It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:

• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).

• Sex criminals.

• War criminals.

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman.

Cruelty isn’t strength.

Reject it.

Always.

Several issues with his argument:
1. Then point of pushing illegal orders is to erase constraints on the executive.
2. Asking “When has regime change ever worked?” supposes that it is both right & legal to do so as long as it’s effective.
3. This war is about staying in power. See also: Bibi.

Let's see, Afghan refugee with ties to the CIA shoots two NG Soldiers in DC at the same time the courts are about to rule that the deployment is illegal.

The conspiracies almost write themselves.

What would you do if someone told you to attack a couple of soldiers or we'll deport your family?

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

I’m good with doing away with this holiday. Not many left I care about. I still enjoy Christmas for the winter aesthetic but beyond that I just don’t need to gorge myself on mediocre food. I don’t care for fireworks, drink, wave flags, pray, or pretend people die for meaningful things anymore.
