@beaubaumann.bsky.social is right: everyday, until the supposed day of public execution, is a struggle over the message. I would add two things: First, when I say that the Civil War taught us No Kings, No Masters, this is what I mean. The master had sovereign authority over the plantation.

This is a story that matters to Scottish people so much it has actually survived two hundred years of basically not being taught their own history at school, and the fact that the only adaptation of it in big picture form is so profoundly deliberately ignorant of us is offensive

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

On the flip side, I think people are missing how much of the datacenter build out is not AI. AWS has an obscene margin and is capacity-limited. About 10% of datacenter demand is the AI companies.

Not just corrupt, but corrupt in a petty way. A million is petty cash even for Trump, let alone for Musk. But it is a gesture by Trump to a benefactor, as is the policy.

One of the great minds Hegseth has recruited to lead his warfighters into the future believes that divorce could easily be eliminated by putting oxytocin in the water— a hormone that would act upon women to make them affectionate and clingy. Without their knowledge, like a permanent roofie!

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

NEW: If Trump and Hegseth weren’t trying to kick trans people out of the military, a Navy board recently wrote of a trans women that it “without reservation would recommend retention based on a record of exemplary service," lawyers revealed today. www.lawdork.com/i/219495792/...

Absent ALNAV 011/26, the board without reservation would recommend retention based on a record of exemplary service.
• If separated from Naval Service, the board recommends waiving recoupment of debt associated with service education program costs based on LT Winchell's demonstrated exemplary service.

The reason you need to kill the worst offenders in this shithole regime is that you don't want them to ever have the chance to repeat their crimes--even if a future right-wing govt faces internal pressure to grant them clemency or pardons. Which means getting rid of them irreversibly.

I hope White House & Pentagon reporters will demand an explanation as to how the administration plans to prevent children from accidentally or intentionally witnessing a live execution. In addition to the general barbarism, there are significant dangers to the public from this nonsense.

A major part of the reason why they want to live stream the execution is so that you personally will get upset with them for live streaming the execution, because upsetting you makes them happy. It’s all just so exhausting

Iran sometimes does public executions but I can't find evidence they've ever televised one. It seems like North Korea, China, and Saudi Arabia have also never televised or livestreamed any executions. Looks like the U.S. will be in a club of one if Pete Hegseth goes through with this.
