Many times I'm about to repost something that seems bad, & then I catch myself: Do I understand enough about it to write an article? To write even an undergrad reading response? If I don't, doesn't mean the thing isn't bad! It does mean that I'd risk spreading misinformation, which is its own bad.

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

I realize I'm saying this so much that I'm getting boring, but farmers are a tiny, tiny, tiny proportion of the population of Iowa. 1.5% of Iowa workers work in agriculture, and most of them aren't farmers in the sense of farm owners. There are *waaaay* more healthcare workers in Iowa than farmers.

Everyday is a new impeachable offense, it’s meant to overwhelm to desensitize us to increasing harm, i.e. we are being yeeted through a series of Overton windows.
The ballroom addition/destruction of the White House is expressly illegal and would stand as independent grounds for impeachment and removal if we had a functioning government.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."
