@curtis_yarvin Letters on Irish emigration - Hale, Edward Everett 1852.

This is like how when you’re on a train and the train moves, it seems like you’re sitting there and the world is moving. Of course they didn’t get their shit together. Rather, America descended to their level. And kept going, of course. So it’s hard to see

@charlesmayne69 If there was a day to be hopeful. . .

Any time a "czar" gets appointed you know it means nothing is going to happen.

@RabbiPoupko Is that a golf cart?

If you saw these images on October 7th and decided you would side with these Gazan men against helpless hostages, your parents and teachers have failed in their education.

@Jomboy_ everything's gonna find a seam for Rice this season

Bellinger goes first to home on a Ben Rice double down the line

Roosevelt's conservation values didn't appear out of nowhere–they were rooted in a story that began before his time. ⛰️ Join Bill Bleyer for a virtual program about the "black sheep" Robert B. Roosevelt on March 30 at 5:30 p.m. MT / 7:30 ET. #trpl #theodoreroosevelt #robertbroosevelt #conservation #virtualtalk

@WeTheBrandon Look on the bright side, Israel will be ballot-box poison for generations after this.

You people have no idea how... 1) Cooked the country is now, 2) Tanked Trump/GOP prospects are now, 3) Badly of a defeat is in store for us at the strategic level when Trump deploys ground troops.

@CrimeRocket Mackenzie Gunther was a man.

Poor girl.

@erichhartmann @brithume @francvs I take your question.

@brithume @francvs Remember when he testified? Lol

Quote: "Mueller’s family didn’t deserve the president’s grave dancing. None of Trump’s many enemies do. But Trump also didn’t deserve Russiagate. Nearly a decade after that phony scandal, our republic is still trying to recover." thefp.com/p/robert-muell…

@JackPosobiec Imagine one of those crashing into a skyscraper.

New video just emerged of the Air Canada crash at LaGuardia

@mtracey tbf, LBC is satire. It doesn't really translate to an American audience.

Can't wait to tell future generations about the unflagging certainty with which it was so commonly asserted that the most decisive, proximate cause of the 2026 Iran war was the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein

@TRPresLibrary Theodore never met his grandfather's uncle Nicholas, but one wonders if perhaps the family passed down tales of his navigational explorations of the Ohio and Mississippi and his key innovations in steamboat technology.

On this day—March 14, 1907—President Theodore Roosevelt made a move that feels strikingly modern: he appointed the Inland Waterways Commission to study America’s river systems as one connected problem—navigation, flood control, water power, irrigation/reclamation, and the health of entire watersheds. The United States was booming—industry, railroads, cities, agriculture—and the country’s rivers were being pushed to do everything at once. Yet policy was fragmented: one effort dredged channels, another eyed dams, private utilities snapped up waterpower sites, and communities endured recurring floods and silting waterways. Roosevelt’s instinct was Progressive-Era governance at full throttle: get the facts, map the system, then act. In his message to Congress he explained he’d appointed a waterways commission to “outline a comprehensive scheme of development” and promised to bring Congress the results. The Commission’s work helped popularize a then-radical premise: rivers can’t be “fixed” one project at a time. Floods, erosion, deforestation, irrigation demands, navigation, and power generation were interlinked across whole basins. A later federal history of flood-control policy notes that in the wake of major flooding in 1907, the commission recommended a coordinated, multipurpose program of river development—essentially, planning that treated water as a national system, not local pork-barrel projects. That emphasis on basin-wide planning ran straight into politics—because comprehensive planning meant limits on piecemeal appropriations. Scholars note Congress resisted surrendering control over the “pork” of waterways spending. The Inland Waterways Commission wasn’t a one-off. Roosevelt repeatedly used study commissions as engines of reform—six in all, including the Keep Commission (government administration), Public Lands, National Conservation, and Country Life commissions. It was Roosevelt’s pattern: measure the nation, then conserve it. The waterways commission helped set the stage for the broader conservation push that followed—where water, forests, soils, and power were treated as one national inheritance, to be used—but not wasted. #OnThisDay #TheodoreRoosevelt #Conservation #AmericanHistory

@aburkhartlaw Capital lawyers, not their challenges, briefs or petitions, are themselves, by their very existence, the best argument against the death penalty. Nothing like impending execution to concentrate those billable hours. The clean conscience is pro bono, fwiw.

Another new legal development in the Tyler Robinson case: He pursued a whole Utah Supreme Court appeal that nobody knew about. Links to the documents and my thoughts about it here: andreaburkhart.substack.com/p/tyler-robins…

1,000 years from now, people teaching history will disagree about whether Trump was one person or a composition of several different people

@curtis_yarvin So AIDS led to gay marriage?

This is not a paradox. It’s a symbiosis

For 200 years the Senate was led by men who operated and thrived in the uncertainty and adrenaline of deliberation. Now we are led by schedulers who won’t do a thing unless every single outcome is guaranteed and scripted down to the smallest detail.

We were lying. That’s something you don’t know about white culture, we lie to one another constantly in public about The Way Things Are. It’s like our own “Izzat.” You repeat what your training data feeds you, but fact of the matter is the data is shit. You will be gone by 2030.

Stop expecting ideological or intellectual coherence from people who are barely sentient. Would you be trying to reason with a plant? Most people are plants, functionally if not literally.

@peterboghossian One stray bomb hitting a school equals the wrongful executions over 1,000+ years. No brainer, but the lawyers will never go for it.

I have been rethinking my opposition to the death penalty.

@WeTheBrandon If you heard legal jeopardy in that response, you ought to have your ears checked. If you're just saying that for effect, you should re-think that tactic. There are good arguments to be made. Neither hallucination nor gaslight is one of them.

I really do hope Karoline has acquired the best legal counsel she can. Because the Dems are going to come for her & the rest of the MAGA, Inc., crew that continue carrying water for this awful policy. All Trump has to do is end this now and he walks away a hero. END. THIS. NOW.
