A full-on purge of the military leadership, targeting women and people of color. This perfectly captures where we are: An escalating authoritarian takeover of the state, combined with an aggressive program to re-segregate the spheres of influence and power and restore complete white male dominance.

So pissed at how much time I wasted on the Oprah show way back when. When she put herself on every cover of her monthly magazine, I was like, “Ohhhh! How did I not see this until now?”

Great compilation! 😄 There are so many bad, very old men in power tight now. Surely we will get one that’s at least “Death of Stalin”-ish, right?

Without the 1929 crash & the Great Depression, the Nazis would've remained a fringe party and would've been forgotten by history To truly dismantle a democratic republic, you need a generational crisis that convinces everyone the existing system has completely failed and only a dictator...you know.

I know we talk about this constantly but it is truly one of the greatest mindfucks of my lifetime. as an 80s kid a Nazi was the most unambiguously, nonnegotiably evil thing you could even be ADJACENT TO, like morality for kindergarteners, and now we have to relitigate that shit every day???? ffs

"Pro-life" laws killed almost 500 babies in the 18 months after Donald Trump's Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/h...

they're gonna continue stealing money from blue cities and states because they believe causing problems for places run by democrats makes democrats look bad and increases power for Republicans. Big contrast to how Dems are always crowing about sending $$$ to red rural areas!

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

When you see a conservative influencer calling the Kendrick performance a DEI thing it’s worth keeping in mind just how many conservative influencers are failed screenwriters/stand ups/filmmakers who only understand any form of art through a lens of spite

What’s happening to our country is a coup and a massacre. They are stealing whatever they can and burning the rest so we don’t have any resources to sustain us or rebuild. They are sadists who get off on death and destruction…especially of the most innocent beings.

There’s something unimaginably bleak about the world’s richest man unilaterally deciding to stop food aid and medicine going to the world’s poor ‘to save money’

Wyden on Musk's gaining access (via a pliable Secretary Bessent) to the Treasury's federal payment system: "They are seizing the tools they need for a coup"

What judge

What Liberty Magazine imagined back in October 1931 has finally come to pass:

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

@charlesgaba.com is a hero and downloaded CDC’s entire website. A small group of us has come together to preserve this critical resource and make it accessible to the scientific community. More to come. These data are public and they are ours. Deletion disobedience is one way to fight back.

In late-February, 2021, I stood in a room on the Thai – Myanmar border, with leaders from ethnic armed organizations; leaders of the anti-coup protests who escaped Yangon; leaders of the Civil Disobedience Movement and Strike Committees; members of Parliament who escaped arrest; and members of...

I live in New York City in the year 2025. The president is a convicted felon. The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon. The secretary of defense is a Fox News host. The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host. The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

This is awesome. From a custom knife forging shop in Edom, Texas.

Is what’s going on too simple to see? By force, a white male power structure is in the process of seizing back control, and as ever they can’t hold onto power without subjugation and scapegoating and coercion and violence. That doesn’t really seem like chaos, it’s America like clockwork.

Seems very efficient to have one guy have to accept phone calls in which agencies have to beg for the money Congress already appropriated. What could possibly go wrong?

Just finished off the well-written new memoir from the most recent U.S. ambassador to Russia, which concluded with four clear lessons: 1) Putin views the U.S. not simply as an adversary, but as an enemy. "Putin genuinely believes he is at war with the United States and NATO in Ukraine."

Me too! Sorry I missed it when it was originally on, but also kinda glad I did because it has a nostalgic effect on me. I miss the times before we had so much technology.

ONE My dad died. Classic start to a funny story. He was buried in a small village in Sussex. I was really close to my dad so I visited his grave a lot. I still do. [DON’T WORRY, IT GETS FUNNIER.]

This is pure idealism. Like Biden's alleged heavy heart while he armed and funded genocide, it's solipsism as political analysis. What matters is **what can be observed**. We need not speculate about what is in anyone's heart––Musk did a nazi salute. He is thus, for all intents and purposes, a nazi.

Some people love public libraries but never set foot in them. My challenge to you is - set foot in them. How often is up to you. Why? Because we take stats of occupancy that helps us get or keep funding. Set a goal to physically set foot in any/all public libraries once a week, once a month...

Do it.

I’m not sure it even counts as a conspiracy theory, but one theory I totally believe is that MAGA Washington is held together by a network of mutual implied blackmail. Hundreds or thousands of sex criminals who all know each other’s secrets.

House GOP can't subpoena Cassidy Hutchinson about Liz Cheney talking to her because so many of them sent her sexually explicit texts. wapo.st/4hKX6L1

I was going to cancel our membership because I’m not buying for a family now, but I’m so glad I didn’t. I will be shopping there more often. I hope they hold firm against the pressure to come.

hannah arendt in "the origins of totalitarianism" on the danger of refusing to believe what's happening

Hey this is good and just the kind of shit the papers eat up. Some elected official has to say this somewhere on the record. @aoc.bsky.social? @raskin.house.gov? Maybe @warren.senate.gov?
