🚨 PRECEDENT: A group which would not identify themselves, which was seen passing out Christian religious & patriot flyers during the event, forcibly removed a woman from a Government session. The group failed to identify themself, carried zip ties and physically aggressed the woman, dragging her.

Following his Nazi salute, Steve Bannon engages in unalloyed antisemitism, calling progressive US Jews the "#1 enemy...inside the wire" for Israelis, "progressive Jewish billionaires funding all this stuff", disloyal to Israel & MAGA

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

The crash is beginning in academia.

Congress rolled over. The Courts rolled over. The military is now led by Trump loyalists only. All that's left is you. www.bbc.com/news/article...

as a historian basically the only individual person i think was vitally important to the direction of world history was Napoleon, and that's probably only because i don't study early 19th century France

Fuentes represents the hardline fascist component of Trump's coalition -- if that alliance breaks, Trump would either need to A) double down on state repression to achieve his goals, or B) moderate significantly

don't play by their rules

The Daily Beast: What is this Elon Salute what can it mean French Nazis: too Nazi for us

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

I think this can only go on for so long. Trump demands popularity. What will he do with Musk and co if this trend continues?

In case it’s not explained well in US news, the chainsaw is one of Milei’s bits. Notice how it’s got the snake on the Gadsden flag 🙄 yellow & black because he’s an ancap asshat

We call them "the Greatest Generation" for shooting Nazis.

it's a Nazi salute

Authoritarian states such as Singapore often launch abusive prosecutions against opposition politicians.

Kash Patel confirmed as FBI director. They're wanting to clean out the military next week. I don't think people understand how badly things can get quite quickly once they have full control of the coercive apparatus.

It has yet to be seen if Trump, Musk and their allies will obey court orders, but defiance would be unprecedented: Open presidential defiance of court orders has not been seen since 1865.

Their plan is to take everything good from the United States.

This is how the hostile takeover of our government and armed robbery of our money is going. One month in and they're completed 1/3rd of the Project 2025 agenda. www.project2025.observer?utm_source=w...

Coward.

NEW: One of the Worst Sites on the Internet Compromised by Hackers Hackers released a document they say contains usernames and emails connected to over 136,000 accounts on a site dedicated to revealing people’s personal information unless they pay to have it removed www.antihate.ca/doxbin_worst...

once again, the Onion is the best news source in the US

This one is a surprise, especially considering Trump wants to weaponize the agency against rivals and opponents. Possibly a case of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today is the Day of Remembrance. Eighty-three years ago today, FDR signed Executive Order 9066. It gave military authorities the power to create “military exclusion zones” from which any class of citizens could be removed.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

this is according to plan -- the purpose of fascist paramilitaries is to threaten political rivals and opponents

Trump won't need the active-duty military to violently suppress widespread protests. State governors will happily call out their National Guard to suppress mass protests the same way they did in 2020. Democratic governors too.

ok can somebody tell me why I hear "U-S-A-I-D" instead of "US Aid" when that is clearly why they called the agency that

went to see Companion last night -- my review: not wild enough to keep me on the edge of my seat, and undercut its creepy content with enough goofs to keep it from being really disturbing. good, but I'd watch The Stepford Wives or Ex Machina first.

"Trump supports violent, exploitative criminal" is not a low for him sadly.

They are afraid.

Watch the full debate. It's worth your time. youtu.be/oFeoS41xe7w?...

long time coming and i also invite those who have thought to themselves "oh it'd be great if AOC were targeted for prosecution by the Trump admin" to consider that THIS is one of the positive/neutral potential outcomes of being a political prisoner

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years
