another Nazi salute at CPAC

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Glad to see this law suit from @apnews.com. If the First Amendment means anything, it means the President doesn't get to dictate how news organizations describe the world. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

How it started. How it’s going

Took off from Dulles, Virginia, United States.

This is how it’s done.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Jack Posobiec told CPAC that Trump is not violating the Constitution because "Trump is the living embodiment of the American Constitution."

Trump has been president for 31 days. He only slept at the White House for 19 of those days. The other 12 were at his properties, among his customers. Gift link: wapo.st/434l8fD

Numbers go down and suddenly everyone rediscovers their spine

Listening to the dulcet voices of @andrewtorrez.bsky.social and @lizdye.bsky.social while I make chocolate cake

Umberto Eco put together a now-famous list of 14 attributes of fascistic states. I'm going to discuss each of them in hopes this helps ppl understand that fascism is not just a buzzword. We're going to go through these by theme, so strap in. 🧵

"Does everybody know what a condom is?"

Just going to retweet this every day until it's no longer true, because I haven't seen a more forthright, concise, and clear message conveying the reality of the situation. "There is an ongoing coup happening as we speak."

Whole lotta folks trying to do the “no true Scotsman” thing here, but… this is mainstream Christianity in this country. They’re the ones listening to fascist torture ASMR.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

What Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are doing isn’t best understood as legal scholarship. It’s more like wartime public relations, or like SEO. It’s creating bullshit that will give dishonest judges a pretext to pretend that there is a serious constitutional dispute. They’re fascism’s fixers.

Here’s the actual government waste. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

fantasizing about a world where an opposition congress responds to trump’s attempts to usurp legislative power by defunding the entire white house staff

It’s awful. It reminds me of that Blake Masters gun porn campaign ad that seemed designed to appeal to serial killers.

Protesters gathered in front of a Tesla showroom on Van Ness Ave. Wednesday evening to protest Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency. 📸: Dan Hernandez/The Chronicle

"the sin of empathy" is an expansion of a CREC doctrine first expounded in a short work called "your eye shall not pity," which argues for death camps for gay Americans

Maybe Republicans don't just really love the first Amendment after all đź« 

Dawg, the official White House account is tweeting out pure fascism. What in the actual fuck.

Regrettably the cost-saving involves Elon Musk’s sperm.

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

Journalists should report the truth the way this judge laid it out.

Jfc. I used to think the racism of conservatives was slightly exaggerated but they have gone full steam ahead into blaming minorities for their own failures because they can do it without using an unprintable racial slur.

The party of free speech!

House Republicans ask AG Bondi to prosecute Code Pink and other organizations because they are "distributing information" about legal rights. dailycaller.com/2025/02/18/e...

This is another huge norm broken within DOJ. Typically, a long-time senior career official -- who knows and cares about the institution and has DOJ's integrity as a guidepost -- would hold this role within the office of the Deputy Attorney General.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

President's Day rallies

Copy of the USAID Inspector General's Report about the devastating effect Elon and army of groyper incels have had on essential services:

RFK Jr: “Gardasil is probably the single worst, mass vaccine that we've ever seen.” @drneilstone.bsky.social: “The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe, effective, and on the way to ELIMINATING cervical cancer! RFK Jr is an anti-vaccine fanatic who would rather your daughter got cancer than a vaccine.”

Department of Education FAFSA changes are open for public comment. The changes include requiring trans students to misgender themselves and removes the nonbinary option on forms. Note: comment period is 60 days, and comments are publicly visible. Form here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

UPDATE: We got Judge Lauren King's opinion backing her Friday TRO. She finds that the anti-trans order trying to limit gender-affirming medical care likely violates separation of powers, equal protection, and the Tenth Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

There you have it. The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (www.policyuncertainty.com) just hit an all-time high, surpassing its previous high from May 2020 - the teeth of the #COVID pandemic. Consequences: worse investment climate, higher risk premia, (likely) higher interest rates...

A fun thing to do with this supposed Napoleon quote is to do a google search to see what forums it appeared on with this exact wording before 2022. I'm no computer whiz, so maybe I messed up, but the only hits I got were these two...for Stormfront, a neo-Nazi forum.
