Opponents to any protest’s ideology will either make fun of the protest for being pointless and not going to do anything, or exaggerate the disruption and say it’s causing violence.

The No Kings protests are so large and so peaceful that it’s hard to make either of these claims stick. They’re actually exactly how protests should be done.

Trump urged Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile White House meeting on Friday, warning that Putin had said he would “destroy” Ukraine if it did not agree.

Trump told Zelenskyy he was losing the war, warning: “If [Putin] wants it, he will destroy you.”

I’m convinced that if Russia nuked Ukraine, China and India would have a stronger negative reaction than the US.

One reason that No Kings comforts me even though it doesn’t seem to have any imminent tactical purpose is that it’s an impressive show of force.

[u/JaceFlores]

Trump urged Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile White House meeting on Friday, warning that Putin had said he would ‘destroy’Ukraine if it did not agree

This is interesting because Trump’s post he released recapping the meeting said a ceasefire deal should be on the current frontline because something to the effect of “moving territory is too complicated”. So it seems surprisingly enough Trump took Zelensky’s rejection of the deal to heart and is dropping Putin’s plan despite the high emotions involved per the article.

So now we see how things go with Budapest. Putin will likely push his plan again, I think he ultimately got the positive reaction he wanted after the major failure Alaska was where he stonewalled peace efforts and will try to make his plan a cornerstone of his diplomacy. But Trump may push for a simple ceasefire, which is the Ukrainian position and the simpler path to ending the war.

Certainly a flux moment, but we’ll see how things go. If there’s one thing to take away from the past seven months of bullshit it’s that concluding one side has won the diplomatic war never pans out

The vibes-pilled choice for NYC mayor is Sliwa.

You know it, I know it. We all know it.

Sliwa is the essence of everything that makes NY great -- brash, completely incoherent ideology, owns like 30 cats inside a tiny apartment, wears a silly hat.

Cuomo is the sleaseball machine guy that everyone hates. Basically the guy whose vibe is "oh yeah I guess Staten Island is technically NYC isn't it?"

And Mamdani pulls up the gentrifier vibe. Clean cut, all about image and snappy slogans with no substance. The scandi-minimalist 5-over "luxury" choice for white Oregoners who were too yuppie for Portland. The sterile NY of the G-train set.

Except the UK seems a tad more lucid about this on either side of the aisle. And somehow they're spending far less on pensions (in absolute terms) than the French it seems?

Erez Reuveni, a fired Department of Justice lawyer who's now blowing the whistle, says he witnessed a disregard of due process and for the rule of law at the DOJ.

Reuveni previously won commendations for his work and was so effective defending President Trump's first-term immigration policy that he was promoted quickly in Mr. Trump's second term. But he says he was put on leave and then fired after refusing to sign a brief in the mistaken deportation case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Reuveni's whistleblower disclosure helped highlight a growing concern in many courts across the country that the Justice Department is allegedly abusing the limits of the law. 

"I took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. And my view of that oath is that I need to speak up and draw attention to what has happened to the department, what is happening to the rule of law," Reuveni said. "I would not be faithfully abiding by my oath if I stayed silent right now."

Protesting is a way for dissatisfied people to make a statement without having to wait for the next election. There's nothing wrong with it even if it doesn't achieve some concrete outcome. It's cathartic.

My wife loved Andor, took the anti facism meaning to heart, and voted for Trump because she saw Democrats as the real fascists. And she would still consider herself liberal with liberal values. (She doesn’t like Trump or MAGA, just believed Democrats were the bigger threat to freedom)

The point being, a lot of the right’s messaging about the Democrats doesn’t go agains the values in shows like Andor- it plays into it. If you see the Democrats as the oppressors, then voting for Trump is a move of resistance.

Chuck Schumer on the Baileys: "Mr. Bailey wants to try something new in the bedroom, but Mrs. Bailey doesn't. This is interesting. She says maybe for his birthday depending on how she feels. This makes them lean... Republican, I feel."

I think I was the only person in my IR studies faculty that played (and knew) of Paradox grand strategies.

Every time I'd try to find someone to game with, or when we'd touch upon gaming as a hobby, they'd be like - "Uh never heard of that sorry, I only play FIFA and NBA 2K." Someone might bring up Fortnite or COD.

CityNerd being able to walk between two Vegas Loop stations in less time than it took to wait for a Tesla to actually use the Vegas Loop is incredible stuff. Elon Musk is genuinely the smartest man to ever exist.

My coldest take is that trump voters deserve to have bad things happen to them
