“Under pressure from the government and each other, some of Mexico’s most powerful criminal groups are amassing homemade mortars, land mines, rocket-propelled grenades and bomber drones.” (Gift link)

I predicted this a long time ago, but Ukraine developed weaponized drones at light speed out of necessity and left the cartels in the dust.

The thing ya gotta understand is that the right to own a personal arsenal of weapons of war comes from God and can not be abridged, but the right to free speech and assembly only belongs to people who agree with the “Silent Majority.”

This Day in Labor History: September 2, 1885. White miners in Rock Springs, Wyoming decided to exterminate the town’s entire Chinese community. Whites killed at least 28 Chinese miners in the Rock Springs Massacre. Let's talk about one of our great problems--the racism of the white working class!

I adore getting accused of “loving” crime….who loves crime? The people who have done the same thing for 200 years and failed to produce safety? Or the people who actually want to call the policing experiment a failure and try something new?

I am amused that Mamdani is seen as a raving communist for suggesting mid-tier FDR type reforms and there's an actual Eugene Debs dude running for Senate in Maine and he's not freaking out anybodyyyy oh yes. Shit. He's white. Sorry, I just got it. Go about your business.

Agree w this thread 100% And well-intentioned calls for progressives to empathize or offer advice and support to these guys miss this key point. They aren't looking for advice on finding a connection, getting women to like them. They're looking for someone to hand them sex mommy...
Gwen Snyder is uncivil (@gwensnyder.bsky.social) reposted
The far right succeeded in this country in large part because adult men were angry about this supposed theft, and the Nazis learned to channel that rage. "[Marginalized group] stole your sex mommy!" is quite literally their rallying cry a lot of the time.

RFK Jr. likes to claim that thimerosal in childhood vaccines causes autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So I wonder if he’d like to explain how the rates of ASD diagnoses in the U.S. have kept going up when thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines in 2001?

RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.

Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)

Writing teacher advice for Democratic strategists: Your audience is NEVER everyone, and acting as though it is will lead to generalities that appeal on average but not in specific. You find your audience through specificities. Relying heavily on polls and consultants leads to tepid messaging.

This is why I call COVID an airborne heart attack virus. After my 2nd COVID infection, I started having heart pain while pushing my toddler in their stroller. Before I turned 40. I’m an ER doctor. I know what “heart pain” sounds like. It was terrifying to experience it so young.

I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.
