Feel like the Rubio foreign policy is basically trying to turn places like El Salvador, Venezuela, and Honduras into vassal states. That has historically gone well.
Reporter: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US—
Trump: Right
Reporter: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?
Trump: If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president

Listen, I know that "government entities are sharing data with each other" sounds like a good thing! Or if it's a problem, it is the world's most boring problem.
But explicit legal limits on intra-gov data sharing are the only way to avoid a surveillance panopticon. Matters a lot for our freedom!

Pete Hegseth said in front of every flag officer in the US military, 'Your job is to break things'. Second strikes are a very effective way of breaking things like law, trust, moral norms, and the ethos of a military organization.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

Speaking as someone who was cast as "alarmist" for accurately predicting the GOP mainstreaming of outright fascism, that sort of attitude is the flip side of those earlier alarmism accusations.
These folks are so petrified of change and the unknown that they wishcast a permanent status quo.

The main thing that's annoying and offensive about this is it's usually not framed as simply a factual observation about all the obvious hurdles, as if anybody needs reminding. It's how it's said in a mood of cynical, condescending hostility to even advocating for accountability. Ditto impeachment.
While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.
There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

Zionism is an ethos of homogeneity because the Christian race science it’s a thin veneer over demands homogeneity. See also “Jews support…” or “Jews want…” when we can’t even agree on what our candles should be made from.
It is actually quite fascinating how many older cis white Jewish Zionists publicly deride antizionism, transness, queerness, intermarriage, and social justice, and then wonder why us younger generations aren't connecting with the spaces and congregations they run.
