This is why I don't understand Iran's strategy. They didn't need to do this! Do they really think their neighbours can accept it?

There is something absurd in the brutal crudity of a Trump/Rubio strategy that uses the pressure of Cuban state collapse to ensure that the Castro family now takes up the same structural role in relation to the United States that the Batista family once held before Fidel Castro overthrew them

I get the impression that this wasn’t super audible on broadcast, but it felt super loud from my seat in the arena. Runner up for favorite chant was “sweep forever!” during MJF’s extended glass-clearing action. #aewrevolution

BREAKING! Juliana Stratton has defeated Raja Krishnamoorthi—and his $30M in AIPAC, MAGA, and Crypto money—and has won the Democratic Nomination for US SENATE from Illinois!

The cryptocurrency industry super PACs dumped $14.2 million into the Illinois primaries. 90% of that – $12.8 million – was wasted, in that it went to opposing Democratic candidates who won their primaries (Stratton in the Senate race, Ford in H-07) or supporting their opponents.

Fun to see how the erroneous predictions line up with how the crypto super PACs were spending. I've spoken before about how Polymarket — despite its PR claims about being more accurate than polls — is often a better signal of what crypto holders WANT to have happen.

(As the brothers continued to publicise their activities in the city, the Rosewood Hong Kong – reported to be hosting them – told the South China Morning Post on Tuesday that it “does not condone discrimination, racism or any form of hateful or exclusionary conduct”.)







It’s shameful and dangerous for the guy who wrote an article about military education to incite a mob to violence against @bradduplessis.bsky.social, @ryanevans.bsky.social, and @warontherocks.bsky.social for engaging its content. This is how republics die.

These guys went on a 72 hour freakout on @bradduplessis.bsky.social and WOTR over a completely mundane article then are shocked their followers took it to the only logical place
