An intellectual without a moral compass is at best a narcissist, at worst a monster.

@stripireller @nexta_tv Nah, avid putin haters do not complain about “f..ing Europeans.” Whoever that store clerk is - thank you for flagging her.

@Barry_Saturday @DavidWemhoff @Kasparov63 “it went nowhere” in the same way as Epstein files, MAGA genius.

@ProfDBernstein @NeilClark66 @grok Did you express any empathy for the victims of the mass ICE crackdowns in the US? Why do you care about Iranians but not about brown people in the US or ongoing infringements on the rights of US citizens?

We live in a country where an alcoholic from Fox News runs our military, a former heroin addict is in charge of our health, and they both report to a convicted felon.

What a time to be alive.

@kilroy30583233 @DocBendrix @The_Opiate @TalbertSwan Cool! When you need a knee surgery, send me a message. Without any medical education or experience, I’ll fix you as good as he would lead DHS without any prior qualifications.

@KansasOz45 @HagmanDr @JillWineBanks trump is not a military officer.

@vincavani @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Have you missed the part when trump f—d Ukraine over time and time again? When he alienated our European allies?

@DeanNielson5 @allenanalysis Where are the “America first” people, suddenly?

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

Let me run you through the last few
days.
1) Trump insults Zelensky and the WH says it was a mistake to help Ukraine.
2) the USA begs Ukraine for help fighting Iranian drones.
3) Ukraine starts helping the US.
4) Reports come out that Putin is giving Iran intelligence to help attack Americans
5) The WH says that is fine.

@Kristalalusher @MammaRazzi29 @tepkilerimiz @krassenstein By what is going on you mean Fed’s overreach in their use of poorly trained yet armed ICE agents against immigrants and citizens alike while infringing on the Constitutional rights, like 1, 2, 4 amendments?

[orelorlik @orelorlik]

@Kristalalusher @MammaRazzi29 @tepkilerimiz @krassenstein Are you suggesting MAGA would be in the streets protecting their vulnerable neighbors, observing and recording unlawful acts committed by Feds, assisting those who were assaulted by paramilitary icicles? You’re joking. Also: January 6.

[orelorlik @orelorlik]

@Kristalalusher @MammaRazzi29 @tepkilerimiz @krassenstein Learn the difference between legitimate law enforcement and government sponsored thuggery and brush up on the Constitutional rights and protections. It’s amazing how many “patriots” are completely ignorant on these.

Since this US administration’s agenda of insulting Europe has now reached the topic of food, with the US Secretary of the Treasury claiming he would “rather eat bugs” than Swiss food, I decided to revisit and expand my list of US food so unsafe most of Europe had to ban it.🧵

This latest Trump pardon will blow your mind.

Spoiler alert, he is....

[orelorlik @orelorlik]

Exactly this! We shouldn’t accept heavily militarised law enforcement as the new normal, because it’s not normal.

I need to say something that's been bothering me for a while, and I'm saying it as a Marine Corps veteran who leans center-right.
This isn't partisan. This is observation.
We've slow-faded into accepting militarized police as normal, and nobody seems to notice or care.
Even as a USMC pilot, I went through six months of infantry training as an officer before flight school. I've worn the gear. The helmet, the tactical vest, the whole kit. And I can tell you from experience, it changes you.
There's a psychological shift that happens when you strap that stuff on. You feel different. You carry yourself different. You start seeing the environment differently. In the Marine Corps, that shift was appropriate because it's a combat culture and organization.
But these are American streets. American citizens. And we've got law enforcement dressed like they're kicking down doors in Fallujah to serve warrants in suburbia.
What happend to high standards and real policing tactics? Think Adam-12...Officers Reed and Malloy. Crisp uniforms. A revolver. A baton. High standards and professionalism. They looked like public servants because they were public servants. They de-escalated. They talked to people. They were part of the community.
Now? Tactical gear, beards, ball caps, Oakley sunglasses, sleeve tattoos, and a tactical kit that would make special operators jealous. And we've turned it into a fetish. We celebrate it. We assume that because someone looks hard, they must be a professional.
They're not.
I loved the Marine Corps. But I'll be honest, I was also blinded by it for a while. Mission first. Unit over everything. And that mentality made sense in that context.
But law enforcement doesn't get that critical examination. "Back the Blue" has become a shield against accountability. A blanket assumption that a badge plus gun equals hero. That tactical gear equals competence.
It doesn't.
Most people who join law enforcement aren't special operators. They're average people who desperately want to belong to something bigger than themselves. I understand that impulse deeply, it's why I joined the Marines. But wanting to belong doesn't make you qualified. Looking the part doesn't mean you can perform under pressure. And wrapping yourself in warrior aesthetics doesn't make you a warrior.
Old school law enforcement represented something. Standards. Bearing. Discipline. Professionalism that was demonstrated, not costumed. A revolver and a baton meant you had to rely on your training, your words, your judgment, not overwhelming firepower.
What I see now in law enforcement is the costume without the culture. The gear without the training. The authority without the accountability.
Are there good people in law enforcement? Of course. I know some personally. But this reflexive "law enforcement can do no wrong" mentality is lazy, dangerous, and intellectually dishonest.
A woman is dead. And before we sort ourselves into teams and start assigning blame, maybe we should ask harder questions:
Why do we accept a militarized police force as normal?
Why do we assume tactical gear equals tactical competence?
Why have we let "Back the Blue" become a substitute for actual standards?
I wore the uniform. I went through the training. I know what that gear does to your head.
It shouldn't be normalized on American streets against American citizens.
And we shouldn't pretend everyone wearing it is qualified to carry it. The fact that he called her a “fucking bitch” after he shot her three times should be a huge red flag for all of us.

Мрази. Я никогда забуду кадры Мариуполя под российским обстрелом.

[Nasha Canada🇨🇦Наша Канада @NashaCanada]

Российские фашисты пытаются скрыть свои кровавые преступления. Они раскрашивают Мариупольский драмтеатр, под которым лежат убитые русскими бомбами 600 детей.
