Legit don’t know if this is vandalism or a detail put on by the owner

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.

Exactly. Musk is an evil, sociopathic piece of shit, to be sure, but he’s also bone-stupid. Extraordinarily dumb. Like Trump, his main superpower is shamelessness to an almost surreal level.

LOL!!! #OnBrand #IBeenHacked

“A WaPo analysis of the data found that many of the canceled contracts were already complete, meaning canceling them didn’t yield any money back because they had been fully paid out — and indeed, 417 of the deals on DOGE’s list indicate that they saved $0.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

I understand folks are having to make really hard choices, but my thing is this: Do they imagine that this is going to stop with Gender-Affirming Care and Trans Folks? I mean...really?! There's literally a fucking poem about this.

Word on the street is that Thom Tillis found like one erg of intestinal fortitude?

Emburrassin' @nytimes.com...emburrassin' AF.

Oh yeah, computers are famously bad at handling a lot of ... "transactions," was it, peepaw? ... quickly. Every computer knower understands that, right?

“HELLO FREE PRESS WATCH ME EXTORT THIS GOVERNOR RIGHT NOW”

American Pundits: It was an exuberant and controversial gesture of uncertain significance… Actual Fascists: It’s a Nazi salute.

Law, Policy, and Policing are critical, but don't sleep on Culture as an essential tool in the institution of Fascism.

Huge event in the crypto industry as the SEC formally discloses to Coinbase its intention pull back from its enforcement lawsuit. We're in the middle of a radical shift in regulatory policy in the US that's going to benefit major moneyed players with the impact on individual investors unclear.

Donald Trump disparaged the military constantly in private as his highest advisors confirmed on the record. But he lied a lot to win millions of votes from the military and veterans. And now the Finding Out is going to be horrific.

Sorrows 😢 ... Prayers 🙏 ... Leopards 🐆

Danielle all late with the “shocked” reaction. #TheTraitorsUS

OK, I thought Danielle was performing, but Carolyn is putting on SHOWS. #TraitorsUS

Unsurprised. There are people Harriet Tubman would've left behind, and then there are people she would've used a more...significant...strategy with.

What the what

This man is zooted into the next dimension

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

i am going to fucking lose my mind, this is not an actual proposal, it’s brain poisoned nonsense drawn up by some musk toady on twitter, it assumes savings that are totally implausible and being contested in federal court, stop responding as if they’re real

They forgot "evil" and "nuts."

Just more proof that this Administration doesn’t care if we survive it…

Between 2019 and 2023, the Maternal Death rate in Texas shot up 33%, while the national average fell by 7.5%. My God.

According to WNYC Governor Hochul won't dismiss Eric Adams. I knew she was gonna punk-out; a brave woman she is not. She's prolly scared of The Blacks™, but she ain't asked this Black or a whole lot of others ones I know.

As a person not only w/o a uterus, but no cervix, this.

Great. The next Bond "villain" is going to be a Black reporter who tries to tell the truth

How Vladimir Putin became an unlikely folk hero for many white working-class Americans.

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

Having had to manage the business of closing out a life, I'm a witness; this is true. And Fun Fact: If someone dies after that month's payment is disbursed, Social Security will claw back that month's payment...bloop, right out of your account.

An entire group of MAGA men boasting they are “born to ride Donald J Trump”

Decent humans don’t Sieg Heil.

I am still...gobsmacked...that this man thought he was doing something by putting this out. If "no there there" was a "framework" it would be this, and because we need so much better from the Democrats right now, it's actually kind of terrifying.

lmfao do you know how unpopular you have to be to poll 4 points behind international aid and 12 points behind the IRS here

It's professional misconduct for a lawyer to engage in conduct that the lawyer knows or reasonably should know is harassment or discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status or socioeconomic status

Ultimant classic moment

Can we PLEASE get DEIA back at the FAA ASAP 'cuz that's clearly all that was preventing planes from crashing, landing upside down, and falling out of the sky.
