My 2 cents: first 3 steps:
• Ban Fox et al on military installations
• Ban christofascist infiltration, influence, & favoritism at Air Force Academy & others (incl among leaders)
• Psychologically test recruits for authoritarian proclivities; periodically test troops, officers

I’ve seen narcissistic rage close-up before. Revenge will be as destructive as he can possibly make it, for as many possible for as long as possible. This week could be especially dangerous.

What’s the end goal
of slowing down on icy streets?
Of wearing a condom if your partner might have HIV?
Of not standing under a tree during a lightning storm?
Of wearing safety goggles if you must be outside in a cat4 hurricane?
Of refraining from smoking around spilled gasoline?

It’s THIS sort of nonsense masquerading as “journalism” that got us the hyperbole of the tan suit, mustard, & cooking pot “controversies”
WHILE ignoring REAL 4th Estate responsibilities like reporting on emoluments, $$ laundering, corruption, obstruction, cults, coups, etc.

Better: (1) Mueller does redactions (in concert w FBI) to protect sources/methods; (2) Barr gets to “approve” Mueller redactions & Mueller gets to publically comment on any Barr disapprovals; (3) Barr’s son is ejected from role in WH & req’d to testify to Congress re all convo’s.
@RonWyden
So... Why doesn’t any responsible governor prohibit federal involvement in the state’s policing? Backed up by state & local police and state-mobilized National Guard protecting, literally at gunpoint, citizens from rogue federal ‘troops’ (as well as self-appointed vigilantes)?

Like asking what Jim Jones could do for followers to abandon him.
He’s a cult leader.
They’re cult followers.
It’s a psychosocial disease outbreak.
Raise awareness.
Quarantine victims. Inoculate society w history, philosophy, ethics, critical thinking.
Hope some victims get well.
NYC Poison Control Center saw 30 cases of exposure to Lysol, bleach & other cleaners in 18 hours after Trump’s suggestion disinfectant might be used to treat coronavirus
That’s more than double during same period in 2019, per health dept
Thankfully no hospitalizations or deaths

It’s worse than that.
You’re fired and walk out with company secrets, like pharmaceutical formulas or the Coca-Cola recipe. The “value” isn’t in the stolen paper; it’s in the stolen knowledge.
It’s worse than that.
It’s not the Coke recipe.
It’s national security info.

Actually wouldn’t surprise me if the leaker is Ginni Thomas.

Comey should’ve kept mum on BOTH investigations, not air a new detail on one already investigated to death—that detail proving inconsequential in the end—while keeping second investigation hidden. Not unlikely his choice flipped election, & many suffering/will suffer as a result.

Plus it’s a courthouse. There HAS to be tech staff on site. An entry-level staffer with a HS diploma could explain. Or somebody from a Staples store. Or an 8th grader.

Sometimes it is.
Rape is never a choice tho.
Ectopic pregnancy is never.
Preeclampsia (which a colleague likely would have died from but for emergency abortion) is never.
Being forced to carry a dead fetus is never.
But being an authoritarian misogynist is ALWAYS a choice.

ASPIRED to being better than this. Half the population obviously has now spit on that aspiration & sunk into barbarism, many heretically hiding behind a “Christian” label. It’s evil we’re perpetrating. It has to be reversed or we’re not worth saving. Glad I’m old. The poor young.

Putin is & will always be KGB. We’re his enemy. Concept of democracy is anathema to him. He only thinks in terms of hierarchical control. He’s innovating & using the new weapons of war.
We must be smarter. His conceptual blindspot = our deciding distinctive strength if we use it.

Special attention to fighter pilots & bomb/missile launchers.

During WWII, gasoline was rationed. Also food.
Ppl were EXPECTED to pull together, incl growing food in backyards.
Higher oil/gas prices are a SMALL price to pay‼️

Vaccines only ~90% effective, not 100%. Plus new variants popping up & the vaccines aren’t necessarily 90% against them.
We’ve still got a pandemic on our hands largely still out of control.
My hope is to believe masking, distancing, ventilation can be let go of NEXT spring.
@steve_vladeck
That’s illegal.
Wolf’s authority over DHS expired 42 days ago.
Like an expired drivers license.
HE HAS NO AUTHORITY YO ORDER ANYTHING.
Not up for debate.
Not up for adjudication.
Determined by the clock.
Expired❗️
@AliVelshi
If you see an animal being abused—or kid, spouse, elder, “othered” person—you have a social responsibility to intervene.
Doesn’t necessarily mean barge in w guns blazing.
Rather swift measured safest-possible action sufficient to stop the abuse cold.
Sure it’ll anger the abuser.
@benjaminwittes
BTW, is Chad Wolf still ‘running’ DHS? I thought his authority as “Acting” director expired ~50 days ago (exceeded term limits per Vacancies Act). Who’s following his ‘orders,’ cuz aren’t those ‘orders’ invalid thus illegal?

Foster & adoptive parents of these displaced kids can be expected to face the tragic problem of kids w/deep-seated anger & fear with no outlet. Seriously emotionally damaged kids require ENORMOUS psychological therapy & social services. Ask those familiar w/older-child adoptions.

From my seat:
• They should surrender en masse, incl equipment
• Should be listed as ‘captured’ to protect their families
• Should be moved immediately to EU or etc for confinement & care
• Ukraine &/or etc should offer them & their families asylum + paths to citizenship

NOPE❗️
You’re NOT Putin or in his inner circle or in IC. You can have & express an educated opinion. But you are NOT in a position to know their “main goal”!

My 2 cents: If it’s not stopped, shift efforts to creating a new Underground Railroad to relocate TX females to blue states, provide housing, find jobs.
Both TX & Afghanistan should be stripped of females.

, I don’t think the founders intended oil, gas, or nuclear power either. Or pizza or DietCoke as staples. Or envisioned satellites, cloud computing, PayPal, Zoom, or social media. Or the KGB/GRU or psyops.
But they did know democracy vs tyranny. And reason vs cults.

And advise him to quickly get professional help in how to respond effectively to targeting, false allegations, bullying, emotional abuse, etc. Not taught in schools. Healthy people victimized normally blindsided (their minds don’t work that way, so not primed to respond).

I’m sorry. But I know someone who’s Jewish. And I know someone who knows someone who speaks Russian. And I know someone who knows someone who’s related to someone who was born in Ukraine. And I looked at a European map once. I think I know MUCH more about this than YOU do!

This is institutional violence against both parents & children. Most of the kids can be expected to be damaged mentally, emotionally, physically the rest of their lives, the younger the more traumatized. A % of the kids will adapt poorly, emerging as psychopaths. We ALL suffer.
