Circular cloud of gas and dust with an inner ring of pink and orange. Clumps and wisps of gas dance around the ring. Several stars are shown in blue and white.

This visualization from Texty shows the routes of Iranian-made Shakhed kamikaze drones (in yellow), ballistic missiles (purple) & cruise missiles (red) that Russia used to attack Ukraine just last night. Russia continues to target Ukrainians all over the country almost nightly. #UkrainianView

Eric Levitz makes a similar argument: leaders on the left have failed to condemn mass murder in ways that are morally and politically unwise. There is zero contradiction between condemning mass murder and condemning the occupation. Zero. nymag.com/intelligence...

A Left That Refuses to Condemn Mass Murder Is Doomed

To advocate effectively on behalf of Palestinians, progressives must not forfeit their moral authority.

No, no. The slogan itself is garbage. It makes it impossible to connect with most politically inactive people who have never had a direct problem with cops (most normie Whites fyi). I like the policies behind it, but the slogan closes doors for casual outreach and conversation.

This is the worst US journalistic habit, keeping former titles. I once interviewed Bill Clinton more than a decade after his presidency and his staff told me about 4 times that I must address him as “Mr. President.” That contradicts a core principle of democracy, that representatives are citizens

Fair point

Yale history professor Timothy Snyder noted: “That Trump will be tried for his coup attempt is not a violation of his rights. It is a fulfillment of his rights. It is the grace of the American republic. In other systems, when your coup attempt fails, what follows is not a trial.”

You tolerate invasion, rape, and murder because maybe just the *bad* Ukrainians are dying?

I worked in state govt in MA for nearly 3 years, and my boss (a Democrat from WMass) used to yell from the rooftops that young people or anyone new to politics could have an outsized influence by being *elected* in local and state govt, but that everyone wants to go right to DC.

The shorter, punchier headline, "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. makes antisemitic covid remarks" has the added benefit of being more accurate. The fact that the Times wouldn't use it makes me think for the first time that he's got a shot at the nomination

Defending a besieged city, surviving in captivity, to then return and go straight to your unit, is, what one would call, a “Chad move”

True. Huge mainstream success for Mastodon (well, ActivityPub) and Bluesky (well, AT Protocol) seems tough given the lack of resources created by avoiding that commercialization. Bluesky started with cash from Jack Dorsey, but I don't know what its business model will ultimately be.

Seventy-eight years ago today—at 5:29:45 AM (Mountain War Time)—about 35 miles SE of Socorro, New Mexico, the nuclear age began with a big bang. Contrary to popular belief, the area surrounding the remote Trinity test site was not uninhabited, and the fallout did not drift away harmlessly.
