"Unfortunately, rather than be shocked by each time Trump or one of his closest allies utter something openly authoritarian, we need to take a step back and realize that the Republican Party has become an authoritarian political party."

Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

on top of this being unenforceable bullshit, many federal employees cannot even access their email on the weekend without a work VPN. others can, but (unlike in musk’s world) it’s actually frowned upon to access off duty.

"The Office of Community Planning and Development, within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, is slated to lose 84% of its staff...." This isn't about efficiency. This is racism and racist cruelty. www.wusf.org/2025-02-22/t...

i absolutely believe this is where we are headed. this has always been the playbook. sartre wrote in 1945 that they delight in their own bad faith. in 2017, andrew anglin made it the official editorial policy for his nazi blog. it’s always “just a joke,” but the punchline is actual violence.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Someone should probably remind newspaper employees (because their owners don’t seem to remember) that if you’re not pissing off people in power, you’re not a reporter, you’re a PR flack.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I spent years being like “look guys American fascism doesn’t have to look like the German kind, it’s always been a transnational movement that draws on a variety of symbols and traditions ….” And now they’re just out there doing literal Hitler salutes.

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."
