Holding a big well -publicized launch or groundbreaking for a speculative project you haven't actually raised the money for yet is one of the oldest tricks in the real estate grifter book and the supposedly savvy US political press falls for it over and over when it's Trump. Years and years of this

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

A clear example of bad faith, and why it’s a mistake to indulge bad faith. “Weaponization of DOJ” was always a blatant lie, a made up accusation from people who were eager to do the very thing they were pretending to oppose. Indulging that helped the liars, and empowered them to end rule of law.

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

Talarico has an immigration plan that in its broad strokes is very humane and pro-immigrant. He says our border should be like a "front porch" with a "lock" and a "welcome mat." Both of those are important. The "welcome mat" in his plan deserves more attention. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2160...

It's not new, but literally every shadow docket hearing, the Supreme Court is reinforcing its illegitimacy. It is not a court. It is not doing the work of a court. In the interest of the rule of law, we need to ultimately abide by its rulings, but there is no future without significant court reform

One dynamic to be aware of in the current discourse: I do agree that there is sometimes a motte & bailey where people are slut-shaming, only to retreat to concerns around second-order harassment. However, I would like to discuss this dynamic in a different way.

I will get to my main point by 3). To set context: 1) it is very difficult to be heard within some EA, rationalist, & Al safety spaces when you discuss sexism, harm, and harassment. You have to use specific framings and language. You have to be
"precise." You cannot misstep.

Yes, some people are doing a motte & bailey. Some people have also simply felt prompted to start discussing real harms they've been concerned about for months or years. Predictably, these two threads are colliding and blurring in a messy way.
