Every single convo with a Space Twitter people is pretty much like this. Brother, the way things are going? Either ya boi Elon defects to El Salvador or Argentina or else they are gonna make an example out of him bro. And everyday that goes by he makes that decision easier.

lmfao this really is the perfect description of the guy

Well, it is finally done: A video going over ballistic missile defenses in a simple language: youtu.be/w3-DAxr1C0U about a year's worth of time/effort spent on it and even longer in terms of research!

A quarter-century on, Europe remains fully committed to strong ties with the United States. Our transatlantic bond has always made both sides of the Atlantic safer and stronger. (3/3)

Europe and America immediately stood together. NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time. European Allies rallied to defend America. Hundreds of thousands of European troops served shoulder to shoulder with their US Allies in Afghanistan. Many paid the ultimate price. (2/3)

Twenty-five years ago, the 9/11 terror attacks changed the course of history. Today, we honour the 2,977 lives lost on September 11. The attacks on the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania shattered lives and fundamentally altered world affairs. (1/3)

anyway the thing to remember about dave is he's ultimately a right winger at heart, which is why he gets much angrier about a recovering addict who is family to a dem pol than the extended trump crime family

as always the problem here is lumping in immoral and unethical with illegal, which I'd argue is actually part of a Huntingtonian two step intended to let GOFOs off the hook

half the country is dumber than the median voter

this is a very weird discourse the strikes weren't a secret, there were videos of shaheds hitting it literally the first day of the war, one of the few places video was getting out from in that early phase

There's a very straightforward answer to this, which everyone on here is studiously ignoring because they can't pass up a "dem party apparatus bad" story

like I keep saying, as much as this place insists is not the case this is now basically the median dem position on the Hill Obama "oh we can just let torture bygones be war crimes bygones" isn't happening

maybe audio makes defense appropriations and combatant commands discussion marginally less boring than text, you be the judge

the thing that WWII dads mostly don't appreciate is the scale of shit that was going on outside of the commonly known theaters if you're a knowledgeable WWII dad you probably very high level appreciate the eastern front, but how bout tying up 20% of IJA manpower for the entire war

ladies and gentlemen the IC ("No no we're actually fine if you just ignore all the people in nominal positions of authority saying batshit crazy stuff" remains an incredible bit)

I wrote this in 2015 about @dicknixon.bsky.social. I haven't looked at it for some time. The formatting changed - it's dreadful, difficult to read. But I think it holds up & is hopefully an antidote to the 'Nixonmaxxing' stuff, which I never intended to spark, & yet.. www.vox.com/2015/10/8/94...

Perfect. Thank you, Governor Hochul.

I’m proud of the work I did as an AUSA, and I say this with complete sincerity: if you’re an AUSA, and a decent person, who cares about your oath, get out. Get out now without destroying your reputation. A DoJ run to Trumpist specifications is corrupt and incompetent. The stink will stick on you.

We all have occassion to say this a lot in this era, but seriously this is the craziest goddamn thing I've read in a very very long time abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

Ms. Jeffery, I apologize, but honestly, what did you & your fellow colleagues who attended WHCD truly expect from those of us watching you? He gives you nothing but “Quiet, piggy!” & “total exoneration!” & “total victory!”, calls you traitors, etc., yet still attendees show up to break bread w/him.

I had a lot of fun with this week’s Serious Trouble, which covers LOTS of defamation cases, the SPLC indictment, and a triumphant inflatable penis. If you enjoy the show, do us a favor and post it someplace. www.serioustrouble.show/p/this-episo...

The Access of Evil

Zero. Sympathy. They did this to themselves. Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.

If leaders abuse the rule of law to make themselves immune to it, so that they can undermine the rights of others with impunity, by what moral or philosophical argument are they entitled to its protections, once they lose power? By what grace should they be sorted by law instead of by other means?

I didn't know anything about the Artemis II astronauts a week ago and now I would fight my way into Hell for any of them.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.

Moon and Mercury setting next to the Griffith Observatory just moments ago. Found a good spot to take photos. #Photography #Astrophotography

Bring it on.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Normie Republicans don’t have the same fashy bloodlust as the people running the Trump administration and their big donors and group chats bsky.app/profile/greg...

2026 is off to the most horrific of starts, between the murders of citizens in Minneapolis and elsewhere, to the inhumane crackdown on anyone not immediately white or possessing an accent. Now we go and lose the most brilliant Catherine O'Hara today and I... Rest in Peace, Ms. O'Hara.

Jesus Christ

The guy genuinely gave a shit. And the empathy vampires murdered him for it.

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning

Damn the soulless Nazis of Trumpism straight to Hell.

Scum seek jobs where they can act like scum with authority.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Frey: "Beyond leaving the scene, they should also leave our city and our state ... crime is down. What this federal administration is doing right now is not about creating safety. Do not let them tell you that what they are do is about creating safety. It is not. It is having the opposite impact."

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Never let a single goddamned person on the Right ever claim again that they’re the party of law and order without laughing in their lying face.
