I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Yes, yes, this is a serious person testifying before Congress that Canada is less open to free speech than North Korea. Tell me again that Bari Weiss's publication (for whom this person works) is a trustworthy publication on speech issues.

He says he doesn't see Vance as his successor either because he wants it to be one of his kids, OR there just won't be another election.

Ideology, it turns out, does not often jive with reality. America's "Great Leap Forward" is not going to end well.

Responding to social problems with exhortations to kindness is a way we make systemic inequalities look like individual ones, ones that can be changed if we are just nice enough, not ones that require fundamental shifts in how our institutions, organizations and society are arranged.

Mahomes and Drake both had a bad night, and I couldn't be happier 😌

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

Congratulations to Super Bowl LIX champion Kendrick Lamar

SAY DRAKE

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

The US was so close to winning a culture victory, then here comes China with Deepseek. Cinch that science victory China, I'm not even mad at you.

More and more reports popping up of people sieg heiling in public. Here at Disneyland. Teenagers at school. This is why you never give an inch and call it out as you see it.

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)

Scooting as hard as she could lolol

Damn that was beautiful. If only we had leaders like this instead of what we have: neo fascists, and enablers on one side, cowards on the other.

China understood this before our geriatric reps did.

This was always going to be Trumps biggest hurdle. Most reps know their constituents rely on these programs, and they will be blamed if they're cut.

Somehow it's even worse than previously reported

Four examples of Democratic messaging since yesterday. I know which one I'm supporting. And voting for.

“We are marching towards an uninsurable future,” said David Jones (@cadavejones.bsky.social), the former insurance commissioner of California... “Insurance is the canary in the coal mine in regard to the climate crisis and the canary is now just about dead.”

This is why it's on sight with Candace Owen's for me. Don't ever leave me alone in a room with that trick.

A 17 year old opened fire in a Nashville high school today. Hours before police shared his name, fringe extremist communities correctly identified him as one of their own. He left behind a manifesto expressing unadulterated neo-Nazi ideology that endorsed violent “accelerationst” tactics.

Trump has signed an executive order eliminating all funding for diversity and inclusion in the federal government, sending home DEI staff who will then be laid off. The historical echo for this is when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government in 1913. We have reached the second nadir.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. Nah, I don't think he'd be that shocked.

As of yesterday, President Trump fired only women on the ACUS Council. The men remain.

The famous actor we once knew is lookin' paranoid and now is spiralin'...

Hundreds of subreddits are considering banning all links to Twitter/X in a pretty powerful display of collective action: www.404media.co/hundreds-of-...

The Democratic Party needs to get out of this woman's way.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

In da klerb, we're all female

An efficient facism does not require much direct state violence. It merely requires the assurance that private violence aligned with the desires of the regime will go unpunished.
