I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

This is why I keep talking about the last ten years as a metastasizing misinformation crisis. Why on EARTH would you think Trump would do anything thoughtfully or strategically? If the media is giving people this impression, it is lying to them

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

for the love of God. fucking honestly. “controversial salute.” it’s a nazi stiff arm salute. literally everybody knows this. “controversial” is a chickenshit word generally (what purpose does its use serve? hint: an editorial, not journalistic one) but when we’re talking about public nazi shit gah

We're going to save this country money by taking it from the biggest perpetrators of fraud--disabled veterans, children's cancer hospitals, and homeless people--and giving it to me, a guy who runs a fake car company and also a fake space company

The reporters at Texas Observer have been doing incredible investigative work lately, the kind of work that places like the WaPo used to do with a much larger budget before it got bought up and then slowly hollowed out by a billionaire sycophant who'd rather go into space than live in a democracy.

Feels like Dem leadership is banking on these events destroying the GOP and what might happen instead is that it destroys the Dems. How does the party come back from its utter failure to prepare for and respond to this crisis?

You see the same misunderstanding around the phrase “banality of evil” when they assume it means Nazis were boring when it actually means everyone was a Nazi. No one wanted to be anything else. To not be a Nazi was deviant behaviour

This is a great episode and gets to the heart of the real problem with AI in education, which is that for decades we’ve been teaching students to write like machines in order to meet the requirements of testing regimes.

Pretty telling that the comparison here is “someone scolding you via a video you saw on Facebook that you found annoying” and “complete disregard for legal protections and long standing peaceful cooperation between nations”. It’s actually pretty accurate to how conservatives view the world

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

There are a bunch of “that’s what they voted for” in the comments and I am once again reminding you that kids did not vote for anything. Kids cannot help having dipshit parents, and kids will be the ones suffering. I understand that excising empathy feels better but come ON, y’all.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Trump notes that Thomas Jefferson once attended a church service in the old House chamber. Wow, what an impressive fact. But I wonder if Jefferson ever said or did or wrote anything about the proper role of religion in government?
