I cant decide what’s a worse look here: the elected leader of an EU member state & ICC signatory hosting an indicted ICC war criminal, OR the elected leader of the self-proclaimed Jewish state excusing his counterpart’s history of antisemitism & whitewashing Hungary’s role in the Holocaust?

It's abuser talk. And anyone that says it, including those half-hearted bastards who defend Trump without really committing to it, deserves the damage to their reputation that follows.

Naomi Smith, "When we think about the world of tech, over the last two decades, their mantra of move fast and break things, was rewarded" "If you bring that approach into gov, politics, to the fabric of society, it won't work. And all it will seek to do is undermine the structures that protect us"

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia. Looks like Jeff Bezos' investment in Trump is paying off.

This is re-segregation strategy. It is to pursue the fascist dream of going back to white power days where white mediocrity was the only thing that existed, while oppression & subjugation were legally enforced.

How quickly is our 53-day descent from democracy to fascism moving? Tonight—tonight!—I published a report asking how long it would be until Musk had normalized the Nazi salute as a mockery of “wokeness.” The answer—from my time of publication—was under an hour. America is in very serious trouble.
