Not everything is a purity test. Sometimes we’re just being asked to do better, think harder, act more ethically, be less selfish, use our power more effectively, or take risks These are not purity tests and claiming they are delivers nothing but the soft bigotry of low expectations

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup. Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires. It's a disgrace.

EXCLUSIVE at the newly relaunched @informant.news: We've obtained secret documents showing that a former Navy SEAL whose testimony helped overturn a war crimes case against his platoon leader has recently joined the white supremacist group Patriot Front. www.informant.news/patriot-fron...
A composite image showing, at center, Corey Noel Scott, a white man with thinning dirty blonde hair and beard stubble wearing a black shot and smiling. The image of his face is up-close and in a circle with a light outline. Two other circles are floating in the image that read “PATRIOT FRONT MEMBER IDENTIFIED." That text is on a mock edit of a red, white and blue Patriot Front logo that crosses out their center fasces symbol with an X. Another floating image shows the red, white, and blue patch for Seal Team 7, which is a thin triangle facing downward with a large 7 in the center and the logo for the Navy on top of the 7, seven white stars are at the point of the triangle. All these images are sitting on top of a military group shot that’s faded in the background. The men in camo are holding up guns and a red, white and blue American flag and posing for the camera. Most soldiers are blocked by the various images except for one section where Corey Scott and Eddie Gallagher can be seen in sunglasses by the flag.
