I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is very bad. Expect many more improper probes in DC, where J6 fan Ed Martin is the interim U.S. Attorney and just got nominated for a full term. And expect it at the FBI level, nationwide, if Kash Patel is confirmed.

Jessica: You need to talk about the 3,400 people who were fired from the fire service. Trump was out in California talking about how we need more people working on this, we need to be raking the leaves… 57% of the land there is run by the Federal Government

Has it occured to them that one reason voters aren’t biting on the idea that liberal democracy is facing an existential threat is that they find it inconceivable the opposition party would be nattering about fucking egg prices if they really believed that were true?

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

Strong essay by @quinnslobodian.com traces 3 competitively braided strands: “the Wall Street–Silicon Valley nexus of distressed debt and startup culture; anti–New Deal conservative think tanks; and the extremely online world of anarchocapitalism and right-wing accelerationism”

Utter failure to grasp what we are facing www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u... 1. People lack the framework to recognize an attempt to overthrow the constitutional order 2. The lack of elites *acting* like point 1 is true makes it illegible. Without Ds behaving as if it's a crisis, it's not a crisis.

Musk called USAID corrupt and then shut it down. Musk called the CFPB corrupt and shut it down. Now he is calling Social Security & Medicare corrupt. We can only assume Musk is going to try to shut down Social Security and Medicare.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m starting to think the only thing that kept the planes from crashing before was diversity.

Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party" The whole model of 🇺🇸 journalism is predicated on the existence of two parties that both respect the laws & norms of the country. That world no longer exists & journalists need to update.
