Senate questionnaire reveals that Kash Patel, Trump’s pick for FBI director, got an early career boost from… being in a DEI program. Very interesting given that Trump campaigned against DEI as “Marxist” and racist and has shut it down across the federal government www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...

What if there’s a public health emergency? Or a drug recall? We won’t hear from agencies we pay for, which Congress created to protect the public, because the Trump White House needs time to conduct a political purge.

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

The problem for Dems who want to build their own new media ecosystem is the biggest pods for younger men are explicitly political only some of the time. The guests on these shows are mostly yapping about sports/gaming/comedy, then occasionally dipping into right-leaning politics.

Elon's Nazi salute is as important as it is dangerous. As Marcy notes, this is only going to build tolerance for outward Nazism if Democrats fall into the trap of giving Republicans endless time to normalize Elon's fascism.

🚨BREAKING: @DouglasEmhoff reportedly confronted Bruce Fischer, Sen. Deb Fischer's husband, at the inauguration, saying, “Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” This came after Fischer declined to shake VP Harris's hand but attempted to greet Emhoff. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

I'm even confused what the complaint from Elon is here. That writeup is accurate and unbiased. It is simply true that "the gesture was compared to a Nazi salute." The writeup isn't even taking a side. It's pointing out that people did compare it to such a salute. It also includes his denial.

Zuckerberg/Meta launched Threads as an alternative to Twitter/X, capturing a largely liberal userbase unhappy w/ Musk's management. Now that Zuckerberg is supporting the Trump presidency, his replies on Threads are just a deluge of dunks. It's like someone creating their own personal wedgie machine.

Trump is opening his presidency with his neo-fascist face. We have to call this bullshit what it is: cruel, racist, and anti-worker politics. These raids have one purpose—to fuel billionaire power with division and distraction. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/u...

NYTimes was the most credulous, calling 2012 “the year of the MOOC” Soon the major companies (edX, Coursera) were bankrupt, bought out, and/or never made money. In subsequent realignments, arts + humanities paid the price for universities’ bad investments. The end. www.nytimes.com/2012/11/04/e...

Trump and Musk are spreading disinformation about CA for several reasons. First, they need their tribe to think the worst of both CA politicians AND those affected. So they invent stories to make it their fault. Second, they need govt to be incompetent to drive the dissatisfaction they feed off.
