Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Sorry to beat a dead horse today but the first real scandal of the Trump administration being the flawed PROCESS of committing war crimes instead of the war crimes themselves is driving me a little crazy!

Like yeah, it’s bad they were using Signal, but also why are we bombing Yemen and how often do these strikes happen and the general public of the US never knows, regardless of who is in the White House?

is it a good thing when the de facto president starts referring to the underclass as parasites? asking for a friend
Elon Musk thinks the poor are a "Parasite Class", & his philosophical guru Curtis Yarvin has "joked" that they should be melted down into biodiesel.
But this is a fascist ethos, & some say the true "Parasite Class" are those who have become grotesquely rich off the labor of others.

As someone who is immunocompromised due to a medication I have to take, I am begging you to - at the very least - stay home if you’re sick. Even if you think it’s just a cold! It could be something else & will hit someone like me way harder than it got you. And please wear a mask if you must go out!

Hey guys, was it bad to keep an offshore black site where laws and customs don’t apply for 23 years?
This is a moral horror and a five alarm fire.
To be clear, Guantanamo has always been a moral horror. But Trump is going to use it to sweep anyone he designates as an unperson / enemy beyond the easy reach of advocacy, legal support and media attention. Migrants are just the first on the docket.

this sort of naked cynicism is jarring, but you’re going to see more of it because this is how kleptocracy works. it makes groveling and sycophancy the rational choice, because it will very often be rewarded.

TikTok is back, complete with a message thanking Trump. We know that Trump initially got the TikTok ban talk rolling, but Democrats did his dirty work, signing the bill into law. In catering to conservative logic they handed him today’s win on a platter.
