Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

#ResistanceRoots Doris “Dorie” Miller was born on this day in 1919 in Waco, Texas. Because of his heroism during the attack on Pearl Harbor, he became the first African American recipient of the Navy Cross. His bravery spurred civil rights activists to push to desegregate the U.S. military. /1
Dorie Miller wearing his Navy Cross in May 1942. Miller’s extraordinary valor during the attack on Pearl Harbor forced a reluctant Navy to award him the Navy Cross. However, the myths and structural segregation that relegated Miller to the Messman Branch persisted after Dec. 7, 1941. Miller’s actions gave civil rights activists an undeniable symbol to fight for institutional equality. It took a coordinated campaign by activist networks to force the government’s hand. While the Navy tried to compartmentalize Miller’s award as an isolated exception — even keeping his rank restricted to the mess deck — the activist momentum could not be stopped. His visibility forced the Navy to begin opening up general service training to Black sailors and commissioning Black officers. Ultimately, the public discourse surrounding Miller’s valor laid the foundation for President Truman’s Executive Order 9981, desegregating the U.S. Armed Forces in 1948.

Postscript: The Navy is considering stripping Doris Miller’s name from the Ford-class aircraft CVN-81 and renaming it for Trump. This isn’t just another Trump vanity move. It would derail plans for the first aircraft carrier named for a Black American and again deny Miller the honor he deserves.
Members of Dorie Miller’s family look on as U.S. Navy personnel unveil the design concept for the future aircraft carrier USS Doris Miller (CVN-81) during the ship’s naming ceremony in January 2020. The proposal to name the ship for Trump has triggered pushback from veterans, lawmakers, civil rights organizations and Miller’s descendants. Pentagon officials have floated a strategic alternative: upgrading Miller’s Navy Cross to the Congressional Medal of Honor and moving his name to a smaller class of warship, such as a guided-missile destroyer. By naval tradition, destroyers are named after Medal of Honor recipients, whereas aircraft carriers are typically reserved for presidents. However, critics view this compromise as a transparent bureaucratic maneuver to clear the carrier slot for Trump while claiming a victory for Miller’s legacy.

In response to the outrage surrounding Miller’s death and growing manpower shortages, the Navy put 16 Black men into an officer training program. On March 1, 1944, the Navy commissioned its first 13 Black officers. The Navy also commissioned two warships manned by predominantly Black crews. /9
The “Golden Thirteen,” the U.S. Navy’s first black commissioned officers, March 17, 1944. Top row: John Walter Reagan, Jesse Walter Arbor, Dalton Louis Baugh, Frank Ellis Sublett. Middle row: Graham Edward Martin, Charles Byrd Lear, Phillip George Barnes, Reginald E. Goodwin. Bottom row: James Edward Hair, Samuel Edward Barnes, George Clinton Cooper, William Sylvester White, Dennis Denmark Nelson. In late 1943, the Navy reluctantly established an officer candidate class for Black service members, but forced the men to complete the16-week officer training in just eight weeks. The Black candidates realized that the Navy expected them to fail, and made a pact to help each other master the material. When the final exams were graded, all 16 men passed with flying colors. Suspecting cheating, Navy leadership forced them to retake the exams under strict supervision. They scored even higher on the retake. Unwilling to commission all 16 men, the Navy chose 75% of the class without explanation.

There’s some quote, I think from Seth Rogan, that says that it’s fine to cross lines in comedy but people want to understand that you’re aware a line exists and have an awareness and deliberateness to it, and I think that’s the reason people like Mel Brooks are so funny and dipshit stand ups aren’t
