Most AI takes come from the outside looking in.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

This is quite an exchange with @DavidAFrench about whether we are witnessing the emergence of a "dual state."

I would offer that Alex Pretti putting his body—with his hands up—between a woman and the BP agent who had just violently shoved her into the snow, offer stark competing visions of manhood. Pretti, a nurse caring for veterans, who took a face full of pepper spray to shield that woman, is a much better masculine ideal that the masked coward shoving the woman and executing a man on his knees. MAGA may venerate the latter, but most people in a healthy society want the former.

You’re a fucking liar with blood on your hands.
A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists.

Videos of the encounter shows that the gun was never drawn. The weapon remains in the victim's holster until one agent removes it. After the victim is disarmed, a second agent shoots him repeatedly.

Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die.
Also Charlie Kirk was a vile bigot who did immeasurable harm to so many people by normalizing dehumanization.
Yes, having debates on college campuses is a good thing. But dehumanizing people — & persuading others to do so — is horrific.

Remind me when did Joe Biden or Kamala Harris share posts of Trump being tied up and kidnapped on social media? When did they joke about executing their political opponents? When did they attempt to overthrow the government through a violent insurrection?

Bad indeed. Very bad. Who did Trump accept a plane from again?
EXCLUSIVE, from me in @nypost: Zohran Mamdani's mom took millions in funding from Qatar—a country where gay people can face torture or execution, migrant workers die in the thousands in slave-labor conditions, and where Hamas and other radical groups have gotten shelter and cash

Today marks 81 years since D-Day. The day when bravery triumphed over fear.
The landing was one of the most important Allied operations of World War II. It paved the way for the restoration of freedom in Europe.
We honor all those who risked everything to push back evil and fought to defeat oppression. Their courage laid the foundations of transatlantic unity that have endured for generations.
We are deeply grateful to all who once stood against Nazism and to all who today refuse to let hatred prevail. Today, once again, bravery must triumph over fear, and liberty over tyranny.
