Military insiders fear President Donald Trump just signaled a potential Iran deployment after the U.S. Army abruptly yanked the elite 82nd Airborne Division's headquarters from a major training exercise this week.
Never forget that the U.S. can always find money for war, but not for education, health care, or to help those in need. This is 100% a choice. And it is 100% the wrong one. www.csis.org/analysis/37-...
Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

In this new report, @ksavin.bsky.social, and @calliefreitag.bsky.social and I explain how Trump 2.0 and DOGE built up new barriers to the already-difficult process of getting disability benefits.
Let's talk about what we found, and what we recommend to address the issues. π§΅
Once a simple proofreading tool, Grammarly is now bristling with AI features and a suite of "expert" agents based on the works of real authors. But the company doesn't ask permission and in some cases offers feedback from virtual versions of dead writersβincluding one historian who died in January.
Looking at Hegseth I wonder if a reason the MAGA student was sure I wasnβt teaching him anything when I was teaching him moral and legal concepts surrounding war is they refuse to learn this. They love war as it is an arena to act with depravity.

Oh.
βWe have agreedβ β how nice of them! Surely theyβre doing this work pro bono right?
Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOUβRE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
They revel in sadism.
So dark and unhinged. The Trump regime is dropping thousands of bombs for clicks.
If youβre not horrified by this you have lost the thread.
If allying yourself with an anti-vax lunatic and helping him gut public health in America while children die of vaccine-preventable diseases doesnβt get you expelled from academia, then the whole system is utterly broken.
None of these contrarian types who gladly went to work at HHS under anti-vax conspiracy theorist Robert Kennedy Jr. should ever work in academia again.
Does this mean we get our mRNA research going again?
It's a hard lesson to learn, but you can NOT assume that police are there to help you, even when you call them.
These guys are experienced lawyers and they let the police into the building during an active dispute over who controls the building. An understandable mistake but still a big mistake.
βSo he is using YOUR Tax Dollars to protect oil tankers from attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, which will cause gas prices to go up - because he started a war using YOUR Tax Dollars.β

All in service to Trumpβs autogolpe. His self coup.
Treasonous.

Imagine owning a car that
A) tends to catch on fire by itself
B) does not have door handles so maybe you burn alive
C) when it does burn itβs a news story and millions of people are very happy that your car burned
As a parent, you are also an unmitigated piece of shit for exposing other peopleβs children to preventable diseases. I have zero time or sympathy for these people. I hope in their dotage their children sue the pants off them for their willful stupidity. Fuck these people.
"Bidenβs pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trumpβs second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion."

βLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.β
Thatβs what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.
He wonβt be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will β and thatβs a sacrifice heβs willing to make.
Counterpoint: This is exactly not what unconditional surrender means.
