The administration filled with doctors of death.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

If you’re not paying attention to the transnational far right, you should be. Germany’s election is tomorrow, and Elon Musk and JD Vance have been strong supporters of Germany’s far right party, the AfD, which is polling at 21%.

Interesting to see these big name universities absolutely crumble and cave — halting admissions, altering faculty labs’ websites, and basically being a bunch of collaborators. Almost like that’s what they were really about all along. Almost like those billions in endowments aren’t for education.

A bought man, for decades foreignpolicy.com/2018/12/21/h...

Yes. It also indicates that it has no fear of foreign enemies. Why would he? He's one of them.

He's a fucking fash pounding the power lie onto an intolerant constituency.

I didn't think ethics committees like frivolous complaints, especially when that committee is the superior Circuit Court.

Losing his medicine, and the entire thing is unconstitutional, illegal, and in violation of a nationwide injunction.

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

What's the purpose of this bullshit? Are they planning on paper ballots, stacking the vote counters w/MAGAts, and tossing the disfavored votes?

They tried to downplay and cover up last time. This time they've shit on the floor, and they are rubbing our noses in it. Also, Tiger Woods is Fash.

If global policy makers can learn anything from the last eight years, it's that making concessions to Trump nets you zero security -- even if your concessions are total, abject, humiliating capitulation

Remember when a handful of emails to and from Steven Miller and a white supremacist organization seemed like a big deal?

what happens in an international system where the hegemon can't make credible commitments?

When you're too gross for even the French far-right - French far-right leader cancels CPAC speech over Steve Bannon’s ‘Nazi’ salute www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Being let loose with a stack of papers and a box of crayons is not the way we legislate it in a constitutional democracy.

We're told that after the war The Nazis vanished without a trace But battalions of fascists Still dream of a master race The history books will tell Of their defeat in 45 So why did they all come out of the woodwork? On the day the Nazi [Rudolph Hess] died

They got it right almost 40 years ago. They still aren't wrong.

May I please have the E coli salad? Thank you.

Evangelical is a really fascinating term. It meant a hundred different and politically flexible things for decades, and then it came to be *the* common shorthand for MAGA Protestants, which erases lots of people and politics, while also letting other groups of MAGA Christians sneak by

Basic biology eludes her.

ALEXANDER: Fraud is a crime. Have you turned over evidence of fraud to the Justice Department, and when should we expect to see those indictments? LEAVITT: It's a clever question

Admitting to his own duplicity? Or his own stupidity?

Effectively accusing his constituents of being terrorists. Hell of an analogy.

Klaus Bannon.

I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again: where oh, where are all of those strict constitutionalists demanding that the executive branch’s power and reach is limited in their very, very very limited government view?

Grateful to see Europeans standing up.

Understood. Paramount's half-backbone applies only to defending Trump's frivolous claims re. 60 Minutes. Otherwise, CBS self-censors so the US public doesn't know that we are rapidly progressing to comprehensive authoritarianism. Fuck you, @cbsnews.com, you Vichy pigs.

The ever-growing list of intentional cruelties.

The thing we’re fighting for is ourselves and the freedom to be ourselves.
