U.S. Marines have served honorably across multiple wars in defense of democracy. They are heroes.
They shouldn't be deployed on American soil facing their own countrymen to fulfill the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President.
This is un-American.
@ggreenwald I disagree with and more than disagree with so many things you've said and done over the years, Glenn. But this is 100% your own business. And I applaud and support your telling everyone that.
I asked ChatGPT 4o to critique Elon Musk's proposal about "high-T males" and "aneurotypicals".

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Trump needs to extend that green light to Zelensky too. The wars are interwoven - Putin is the connective tissue. Remove Putin, and much of the conflict in the world he sources - goes away.
🇮🇱🇺🇸 The Israeli publication Ma'ariv reports that Trump has given Netanyahu "the green light" that he can do whatever he wants with Iran and do what Israel needs in Gaza and Lebanon.
What to expect:
- He will declare victory before all the votes are counted, like last time.
- At the same time, he will continue to push bogus narratives about the election being stolen from him.
- Elon and his propagandists will amplify it on this platform. They're pushing outrageous claims every day, many originating from Russia.
- His supporters will swarm voting precincts trying to intimidate election officials, delay the count, anything to overwhelm the process with chaos and cast doubt on the results.
- It will rain frivolous lawsuits as they try desperately to usurp the will of the people.
Your job:
- Remain resolute. Remain focused. Block the noise.
- Don't let them intimidate you or turn you away from casting your ballot. Your voice will and must be heard. Your vote MUST be counted.
Together, we will withstand what they throw at us.
Together, we will finally move beyond this ugly chapter in our history.
We are not going back.
I think we need to do a deep reset after this election and change course. Not to “win” elections. But to protect women, femmes, and all people (including cis het men) from the dangers of patriarchy and misogyny.
Sure, there are awful suburban white women who are full-on Trump supporters. But I think we also need to take a good hard look at the ways white suburban women, in particular, Christians, are prisoners in their own homes.
Tim Walz: "Donald Trump said, 'They don't build cars. They take them out of the box and assemble them. A child could do it.' He couldn't open the damn door to a garbage truck."
it's interesting that the response to an ad telling women it's safe for them to vote and their husbands won't know and the overwhelming response from the right has been "women shouldn't vote"
I swear to God the final Wall Street Journal editorial making case for Trump includes this line.
“Mr Trump was too undisciplined, and his attention span too short, to stay on message much less stage a coup.”
Too erratic to coup! Trump 2024!
