QQ for all the "Restore the #RuleOfLaw" folks out there: When militarized police crushed Occupy for daring to challenge the logic of bailing out the bankers who crashed the economy rather than the people they fleeced, was that "Rule of Law"? When militarized police maimed and brutalized water protectors, was that "Rule of Law"? When oil companies and tech monopolies fund both parties and just happen to get legislation that keeps them in power, is that "Rule of Law"? When your tax dollars go to fund genocide, to pay to drop bombs on children, is that "Rule of Law"? When the NSA was spying on American citizens, was that "Rule of Law"? How about the drone strikes on Americans, was that "Rule of Law"? When cops murder people and then use "qualified immunity" to get away with it, is that "Rule of Law"?
Y'all keep talking about how #NoKings is about "restoring rule of law." It's got a bit of a "Make America Great Again" feel to it: you're invoking a return to a history that never actually existed.

Turns out that what hit flight #UA1093 was most likely a balloon from https://windbornesystems.com - this was brought up first in the thread https://x.com/vk5qi/status/1980386581497409891 and now the company confirms that it's a very strong possibility: https://x.com/johndeanl/status/1980462264974209292. See also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZzbS30xdjM for a short video about the company and how it's filling the atmosphere with long-duration balloons carrying weather sensors. They had just been hailed as one of the best inventions of 2025: https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2025/7318250/windborne-systems-atlas/ ...
