Gotta admit, a very traditional move for servants of a mad king.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Time and again Trump shows that to him the ideal period in American history was the Gilded Age - America's oligarch era. That was a time when the US barely mattered on the global stage, and the country was ran by robber barons. That's the America he wants to recreate - of unbridled exploitation.

Finished last night.

Nothing but love for Star Wars's Space Lenin Honestly how either Stellan or Andy Serkis didn't get nominated for an Emmy for One Way Out is beyond me.

In dealing with trying to stop Nazis on the offense, I'd like to quote what Eisenhower said in the opening days of the Battle of the Bulge "The present situation is to be regarded as one of opportunity for us and not of disaster"

@demsocialists.bsky.social definitely needs to do this.

I think at the end of the day Bernie Sanders's will go down in American history as the Left's Barry Goldwater. Not the guy who got elected and began a new era in American politics, but the man who set the stage for the person who will to do so for Socialism.

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

I'm not something to be "solved" 😡

Ironic that he doesn't cite the period where what he says is actually true, but he does cite a period where the US went through several of the worst economic depressions prior to 1929.

What's missing from the discourse over who should be the next James Bond is Alexander Siddig.

Picturing every Canadian Star Trek fan saying "Qapla'!"

Batman villain Emil Bove is Donald Trump’s hatchet man in the Department of Justice. The great @lizdye.bsky.social unpicks his past and his ruthless knifing of former colleagues. Move over Scarecrow and Riddler. It’s the hour of The Apostate! airmail.news/issues/2025-...

fwiw this is basically how the Tea Party started except with imagined instead of real grievances

Are you saying it's better than Chess?

Republican president ironically doesn't think Eisenhower was good enough

"Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go... What does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?" Eighty two years ago today Sophie Scholl was executed, aged 21, for her part in the non-violent, anti-Nazi group the White Rose.

This is what happens when you build a political movement on lies. Claiming that the VA is "in charge of payments for illegals" works on dumb people, but only when you're in opposition and can claim that the government is hiding the evidence. Once you're in charge and can't back it up, you're sunk.

Reddit saw this coming a month ago.

Folks, is there someone, somewhere tracking all of the firings that the White House has back tracked on/attempted to rehire? I am following all of the usual suspects who summarize all of the things. But I'm looking explicitly for some capture of positions laid off who were then rehired.

your Creator has made you holy

The point is: for which class's benefit is power now being wielded almost absolutely Right now under Trump it is being wielded for the benefit of the capitalist oligarchs at the expense of the American working class

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.
