America's founding principles and our unique form of self-government make a traditional coup, as we commonly understand it, impossible. Our Constitution, with its checks and balances, was designed to prevent any sudden seizure of power. But what if the plan was never to storm the Capitol but to slowly erode our freedoms over decades?
Progressivism, under the banner of reform and justice, has been the vehicle for this subtle shift. Over time, government expanded, laws changed, and our liberties were chipped away, not through force but through policy.
Then came COVID-19, a crisis that, from 2020 to 2022, allowed for emergency measures that would have been unthinkable in normal times. Lockdowns, surveillance, restrictions on assembly, and speech - all under the guise of public health. Now, in 2025, as we look back, was this the moment a long-planned strategy was executed, exploiting our unique system to enact control in ways a traditional coup could never achieve?
The genius of this approach lies in its subtlety, using our own values against us. Even post-crisis, the changes made during that time remain, subtly altering the landscape of our freedoms. We need to discuss this openly, to understand if what we witnessed was not just a response to a health crisis but a calculated move in a long game. Share this, let's bring this hidden narrative to the surface. #AmericanExceptionalism #LongGame #FreedomOverFear
We just launched Xirp, a vendor-neutral agentic development environment. One place to manage agent sessions across @ClaudeDevs, @GeminiApp CLI, and @OpenAI Codex. 1,300+ @Spotify engineers already use it. Now it's available for you to try. Learn more at https://t.co/Hwo8Qqx4OI.
I am asking Elon @elonmusk to please activate @Starlink in Colombia.
We don’t know how many people are dead as rescue efforts are ongoing.
I am also asking @POTUS to please send aid & support in this disaster.

This is exactly right. Source code is on the verge of becoming like assembly.
The next step is getting rid of “source code” entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI.
Retired Army colonel here. Three combat tours. 60% disabled per the VA. Spent most of my tactical career in the 82nd Airborne.
Please read what I am about to say with the sneering condescension with which I intend it:
Mr. Kristol, you are a grifter. Worse, you are a lying grifter devoid of morals who lets his beliefs change with whatever winds point to more filthy lucre. Today's speech by Secretary Hegseth was both entirely necessary and entirely spectacular. Those of us rank and file who fought in the wars you and your yellow, slobbering neocon chickenhawk buddies sent us off to die in applaud this effort with the utmost enthusiasm. These clownish, dangerous, senior generals and admirals have been the architects of American military failure for 20+ years. Their silence is indicative of nothing more than the fact that they know the gig is up and their fatcat days of being Perfumed Princes are no more. So howzabout you shut your trap and let us warriors decide what this speech meant? Good day, sir.
