As long as you guys have Bari Weiss as Editor in Chief, I really don’t think Tony Romo’s gonna hurt the brand

I honestly think we moved on from the implications and implausibility this event would have been even a decade before way too quickly

Your comment reminded me of this so much USAJobs isn’t just a shitty job site, it’s an incredible national security risk and maybe if we talked about it from that aspect, we’d get more traction

Earlier this week, James Talarico unveiled his border security and immigration policy, calling for more agents/immigration judges and more funds for surveillance technologies I like Talarico, but this left me super disappointed

All of that - her hesitancy, the overwhelming documentation, everything - of course still isn’t enough to keep some progressives from saying she’s a plant It’s shameful and absolutely disgusting. As a progressive, this is a problem we need to address

Come read my latest on Substack about Israel, American foreign policy, and the ongoing war in the Middle East. We should not be involved and there’s a valid argument on whether we should continue to support Israel as they violate human rights & int. law Link: open.substack.com/pub/alanthec...

Don’t ever fall for Republicans’ lies about them respecting law and order or wanting peace. They very clearly do not and never have; what they want is to kill everyone who has even the slightest disagreement with them

It’s disappointing that this is now the kind of opinion that is seen as controversial when it’s a bold truth It’s disappointing to see democracy come this far and just … fail

While I had hoped Senate Dems wouldn’t cave before I got this piece out, yet they managed to do so :/ Anyway, here’s my latest on the govt shutdown, why the responsibility for it lays squarely on the GOP & Trump, and why Dems should have kept holding the line Link below ⬇️

Let’s not forget this is also the kind of rhetoric one deals with when that happens There’s no getting around it though: Republicans are Nazis

This may sound insensitive but how many people were passed over for promotion because he wanted to stay? How many persons couldn’t be hired to the agency because he wanted a few more years? How many college grads or military vets didn’t get the chance at public service because he wanted to stay?

Tolerating the intolerant doesn’t make one tolerant, it allows the intolerant to further harm, injure, and minimize those who they hate Not tolerating the intolerant and ridiculing, ostracizing, and shaming those who are intolerant of others is the only correct course of action

It is absolutely insane to see how easy Americans are susceptible to fascism and look no further than TikTok People are posting themselves with videos of Hitler’s speeches in English and saying “yeah that’s right”

This in no way changes the fact that Ronny Jackson continued to commit Stolen Valor from 2022 to 2025 That entire time he had Rear Admiral instead of Captain on his Twitter bio and elsewhere is stolen valor. It’s the *exact* definition So when you say Jackson committed Stolen Valor, it’s accurate

Share your city’s awful municipal flag. Personally, I don’t think San Antonio’s is that terrible (it’s basic AF tho), but since we’ve seen Tyler and Dallas, let’s see another Texan flag

IMO cops who think we should bring COIN policies stateside in civilian policing is really wrong I found this cool when I was like 12 or 13 and just starting out, but really quickly you find this just isn’t applicable to what policing currently does or even should be

Being a student of Latin American history, it’s incredibly disconcerting (beyond that actually, words are escaping me at the moment) to see this similar thing happening in the U.S.

From AP If ICE’s goal was to turn everybody (and I mean absolutely everybody) against them, then they are doing an exceptional job When local/state cops start seeing their patrol buddies and friends start getting this treatment, think they’ll keep supporting it?
