We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Trump purging the military to try to make it align more with his reactionary agenda is concerning. None of this makes the U.S. military anything other than an institution of reactionary violence and destruction. Generals aren't heroes or progressive. They're killers on a grand scale.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

Diversity is a strength. Diversity is beautiful. Diversity is reality. The hatred being put forth by certain Americans is proof that they have no idea what they are talking about. They seek to exist in a world with “others” and I refuse to live in that world.

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Corporate democracy was a mistake.

The destruction of the established world order is underway. New perceived enemies will be identified. New perceived alliances will be formed. This is, of course, all bullshit. We must transcend this nonsense or we will all kill one another.

NEW: Ukraine has NOT been invited to Ukraine peace talks. Zelenskyy to NBC just now: “I will never accept any decisions between United States & Russia about Ukraine. Never.” Clear message. Trump has NO mandate.

We need to push back really hard against this rapidly coalescing “backlash” narrative that places the agency solely with traditionally marginalized and "activist" groups who are therefore ultimately at fault for causing a supposedly inevitable reaction, a predictable, near-automatic response.

This. This this this

ABC: “.. Multiple current and former employees described the situation as ‘a national security crisis.’” @abcnewsgo.bsky.social abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

It's almost impossible to describe the corruption of Elon Musk But we must.

This is sort of the skeleton key to understanding a lot of shit: there 100% is a non-trivial amount of inefficiency and waste in the federal bureaucracy, and most of it is a *direct result* of ‘reforms’ that are meant to assuage the people who complain about “waste and inefficiency in govt”

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

It is fascism. Calling it "an aggressive flexing of power" fluffs the Führer. Call this what it is, Baker. It is fascism. #BrokenTimes Trump 2.0 Heralds an Aggressive Flexing of Power www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Tip for reporters following Trump Administration: when they call something fraud or corruption, it does not mean they are finding fraud or corruption--just something they don't like. To determine anything is fraud or corruption requires investigation and time...unless one is looking into Trump.

We need Democrats & the media to have the energy & effectiveness of Kendrick going after Drake and what they have is the energy & effectiveness of Drake going after Kendrick

The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.

Amen

THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW IS UNION MADE! Shout out to Kendrick Lamar, and all the performers and behind the scenes workers that made this go off without a hitch!

Omg i just discovered that the nation’s social security database is just a file called todo.txt on Jeff’s laptop! Someone should do something. Maybe aggregate the free threaded marshaler or call a RPC with a regex and a little agentic ai. I could do this in a weekend but I’m too busy soloing diablo4

Kendrick gives me hope

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.
