If you aren’t familiar with Curtis Yarvin, you should be. He’s a monster. time.com/7269166/dark...

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Seems like this is extremely popular but then I’m not a well paid centrist Dem consultant responsible for a string of Pyrrhic victories and embarrassing defeats

Just heard the recent cabinet meeting in the background. First time I really paid attention. Holy Shite! These people are all insane. Normal people just do not do that. They have become acolytes literally worshipping their god in human form. Yeah, nothing to worry about here?

We’re often targeted for the numbers we post online. No, we can’t explain everything—sorry! But here’s what we can tell you: cell-site simulators are real. These devices mimic legitimate cell towers to intercept communications.

would love to read a portrait of rubio the person, who seems to be the kind of vacuous, amoral ambition addict who excels in tyrannical regimes

This essay's distinction between authoritarianism and fascism, and how different parts of Trump administration's actions fall on different sides of the distinction, is the big value add of this piece from @kjephd.bsky.social

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

"oh no, this'll make the right wing mad!" Buddy they get into a frothing rage over like, cereal mascots and cartoon characters and the mere existence of gay people and what oil a French fry is cooked in and women knowing how to read, etc. They'll get mad anyway, no matter what. Tell em to fuck off

While Donald sets fire to America's economy, one of the members of his crazy cult set fire the the home of Pennsylvania's Democratic governor last night. www.newsweek.com/democrat-gov...

"meritocracy of monsters" Seems like a good term for this era of history

Feels like it should’ve been a bigger deal that the Arkansas voucher application program literally asked voucher users if they wanted “a different racial mix of students” Especially since it was @SarahHuckabee that came to push @GovBillLee’s scam

New, from me: Marco Rubio used to boast that he was banned from China, calling it a totalitarian state. Now he combines a) new surveillance capabilities to monitor and punish international students, with b) little accountability or due process. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

Trump underestimates Panamanians if he thinks this won't be a bloodbath. Since 1988, "All Panamanians are required to take up arms to defend national independence and territorial integrity of the State." #IStandWithPanama

Throughout my lifetime the US has increasingly used the tactics of monsters: complete destruction of all socialist parties/organizations, absurd war in Vietnam, war on terror resulting in death of hundreds of thousands and the drone killings at funerals, weddings, hospitals, etc.

Mirroring Russia's 2022 invasion strategy of Ukraine, the US Trump regime will deploy troops along the Panama Canal for what it claims is "training, exercises and "other activities"" after months of threatening invasion. Panamanians say the US of launching a “camouflaged invasion”. #panamainvasion

BANANA REPUBLIC. It didn’t JUST START.
