Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

Whenever someone says "there are no civilians in [country]," they are making an argument for genocide.

Thinking fondly of the days when I thought my book Petro-Aggression was about *other* countries

The vet called yesterday almost in tears after seeing Karma's perfectly normal bloodwork, two weeks after a scary episode with her liver. She either ingested some poison or had bacterial hepatitis, but thank God she's fine now.

Deadlift form could use some work. Knees are caving in.

This means that 9-year-old Lucy can deadlift me.

Keep hearing commentators/Hegseth saying a version of "this is not Iraq, we are not doing nation-building, it's a decapitation, the people will handle it."

That's what Iraq 2003 was supposed to be! Nation-building, de-Baathification, disbanding of Iraqi army, it all came *after* things went wrong.

I once took a class with him when I was at CIR…

We even got our own Ahmad Chalabi!

At all three places where I taught, veterans and military students are admired for their service, their ability to get their academic work done quickly and extremely well, and for often balancing family and school.

Not *once* have I ever heard a faculty member disparage a military student.

The amount of shit going down on this planet right now because of Donald Trump is truly unfathomable.

Dozens of FBI records apparently missing from Epstein files, including Trump accuser interviews | CNN Three interviews related to a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago appear to be among the missing files in the DOJ release.

Dozens of FBI witness interviews from the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be missing from the files released by the Department of Justice last month, according to a CNN review – including interviews related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago.

Burn it down, burn it all down. I don’t want to ever hear that MeToo went too far. It didn’t go far enough.

Artificial intelligence researchers hit by flood of ‘slop’ Conferences restrict use of LLMs after surge of low-quality AI-generated papers and reviews

"Artificial intelligence researchers are grappling with a problem core to their field: how to stop so-called “AI slop” from damaging confidence in the industry’s scientific work."

A historic photo of the Greensboro 4.

Feb. 1, 1960, 4 NC A&T students sat-in at the “whites only” counter at Woolworths in Greensboro. Their defiance ignited a movement led to the birth of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

Young people fuel movements. It is inspiring to see that today they still do.

The credibility test is this:
If some killed an ICE operative would the killer’s name be released?

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

The Democratic leaders in Congress have repeatedly shown that they have no interest in leading an effective opposition.

They have no appetite for the legislative trench warfare this moment requires. They don't even have the will to speak about it clearly. They just want to be left alone.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
