Ms Freeland is spot-on, quoting the late, great Leonard Cohen in this @nytimes.com piece today. ‘You Aren’t Going to Like What Comes After America’ www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/o...

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.

Morning friends, please watch this short message from Ty Cobb who served as Special Counsel to the White House during the Mueller probe. Ty unflinching argues Congress has a RESPONSIBILITY to IMPEACH, CONVICT, and REMOVE Trump from the presidency. youtu.be/33yqBQ17BbU?...

Fun fact—McConnell voted NO on the FMLA bill in 1993. He’s currently getting paid and receiving full bennies. 3rd child—6 wks off, no pay, returned to find that my job had been outsourced overseas. I sued. They had to create a job for me with equal pay. Keep fighting for what’s right!🖕Mitch!

1st child—fired for being pregnant, no one would hire a pregnant woman. 1st and only time I was ever fired. 2nd child—1 week off, no pay, told if I didn’t return in 7 days I’d be replaced (I was the Accounting/HR/Safety mgr). This was 1 year before fed protections were a thing.

Musk is trying to normalize selective empathy (he’s said that empathy is the West’s “greatest weakness”), because an expanded and inclusive view of humanity is one of the common features of people with moral courage. To recruit ppl to his project, he needs them to think and be small, like him.

Lots of moral “off ramps” are offered to help people feel OK about not including the out-group in their moral code like moral justification (“we must preserve the white race”) and dehumanization, among others. This is what @gregsargent.bsky.social is highlighting and it is very, very dangerous 3/

Things like genocide and even lesser evils happen bc the sociopaths at the top give ordinary people a permission structure. They have a “moral code,” but it only applies to a select group of people. Those not in that group are beyond the realm of human or moral obligation. 2/

🧵 This piece is really important, because it gets to something that is a prerequisite for and recurring feature of atrocities worldwide: selective empathy. Most people assume that when atrocities happen, it’s bc everyone involved is a sociopath. Some are. But not all. 1/
Greg SargentWhen Elon Musk says "zero" children died in Africa from his DOGE cuts, he really means zero children died who are *worthy of any concern.* It's vile coded signaling to his global fascist audience. From me and @polphilpod.bsky.social, a deep dive into Musk's fascism: newrepublic.com/article/2135...
