eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated. or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

how insane was it to say “we tortured some folks” and then not only not do anything about it but keep everyone involved in polite society. what did we think was going to happen after that

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.

i know hegseth's speech was intended to tell the military they won't get prosecuted for war crimes and beating your wife won't hold up getting promoted to O-4, but bringing in trump fresh from death's door is a really persuasive way to unconsciously tell them the crimes jubilee may not last too long

I honestly don’t think this impacts Israel’s decision making all that much but the fact that US allies are able to act in open opposition to stated US goals and positions shows US leadership on the international stage is basically nonexistent at this point.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

i would go a little further: i don't think they have faith in institutions so much as just completely take them for granted. surely groceries and gas are always relatively cheap. water is always drinkable; why would it not be? it's water. of course the stock market works, it's a market.

South Korean protest culture is one of the country's huge strengths and it relies in part upon having large networks of people who can be mobilized at short notice. The U.S. is at nowhere near this stage of organization but it badly needs to be.

Saying we’re going to have to learn to live with each other and debate in the marketplace of ideas while the president is purging comedians off the TV is why people are not reacting positively to Ezra Klein.

These two things might seem unrelated, but together they help distill the workings of competitive authoritarianism. When the opposition loses, it gets blamed on their having terrible leaders, but part of why they have terrible leaders is bc any rising leader is hounded by the ruling party.

"I knew that someday, years or perhaps decades down the line, when half of Gaza was still rubble and the other half Israeli skyscrapers, the magazine would offer a mea culpa. Maybe someone involved would end up considering it the biggest mistake of their career."

I was certain that he appeared in the dreams of every employee fiscal-quarterly. He told me, once, that he regretted his support for the Iraq war terribly, that it was the biggest mistake of his career. He’d been swept up — you must understand, he said, like I already understood — by the mood of the times.
