Everything will be called an emergency until total control is established. Once that happens, it doesn't matter what you call it anymore.
Trump has sought emergency intervention by the Supreme Court 28 times in the first eight months of his new term, more than Bush, Obama and Biden did combined over 20 years. @WheelerLydia

just when you think you've heard about every cold war gadget somebody posts the building sized tungsten shotgun that blows apart nuclear warheads right before they hit
Back in the late Soviet era there was work being done on an APS for silos (specifically R-36M2 silos). This system used "shotguns" with tungsten rods to defeat enemy RVs in lower atmosphere. It was successfully tested against RVs (Baikonur -> Kamchatka track) in late 80s.

Curtis Sliwa: “Anybody who knows the history of New York City knows we’ve had socialists in elected office.” “Somehow life went on … I don’t fear socialists. I don’t fear communists. I say, leave it to the people.” https://t.co/1HId6HYQQ2

Do you all realize Trump has destroyed our rights? DHS can break down your door in the middle of the night, with no warrant, trash your apartment and all your belongings, zip tie you, zip tie your children and drag you all out into the street naked, throw you into a van, imprison
🚨What @DHSGov pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is insanely unconstitutional. They raided an apartment building, smashed down every door and dragged entire families into the street, and detained everyone for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). One U.S. citizen was held for FIVE HOURS.

Jane Goodall died today. While smarter and more informed people will talk about her work, I want to share a snippet from her Wikipedia page - the two greatest paragraphs ever on Wikipedia. The first parts are amusing and interesting, but the last sentence elevates it to high art.

I am available for your podcast if you need some military authority right now. When I say things are fucked up, understand that comes with 20 years of experience knowing the acceptable level of fucked up the military is, and when that line is crossed
