Reaction from #Seahawks community on Bluesky after games compared to the other place is night and day. Bluesky Seahawks fans are considered, nuanced & level-headed. The “fans” at the other place are crashing out, have already given up on Rashid Shaheed and talking about “Super Bowl hangover” 🙄😒

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Self-regulation can work, but it shouldn’t be the only line of defence. A better model is independent oversight with industry input: clear rules, transparent monitoring, real penalties, and accountability when things go wrong.

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.

Thinking of that time after Biden got elected, when a VERY fancy lawyer and Dem strategist called me on the phone like, “Moira, everyone at my firm is mad that the Title IX rules are going to be stricter, because it will be bad for our university clients to have to punish rape.”

For a man who spends so much time harping on lethality and military efficacy he spends remarkably little time explaining how anything he’s doing comes remotely close to advancing those goals and receives astoundingly little pressure to do so in public spaces.

It’s not great that the secretary of defense seems to overwhelmingly base his policy priorities on his insecurities, animosoties, personal prejudices, and cartoonish understanding of the world and the military’s relations to society and foreign policy.

Am definitely worried about the "everything will snap back after the elections" argument that you sometimes see on here. This is going to take a lot of hard work across multiple fronts, and I'm not sure there's much appetite for it

This is a free PDF to my article about trauma-informed, survivor-centered teaching. It's all about how to talk about sexual violence with the assumption your class is full of survivors who are eager to have that conversation--as long as you can do it without victim-blame or rape myths.

I feel like portraying yourself as "of the troops" and telling "sir stories" about how subordinates tell you they've never felt so supported before and repeatedly calling them "E-6s" instead of "Staff Sergeants" are a bit at-odds with one another.

my read on the Trump promise is that it’s running into two separate and contradictory types of backlash at the same time: 1. people don’t believe he’ll actually give them money 2. people believe that ‘undeserving’ recipients will get money

My hypothesis is that jurisdictions that let police screen rape cases arrest, prosecute, and convict at a lower rate than those that have prosecutors involved from day 1. We have never had data to test it, but we might now. This is one of my current projects.
