Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

“I spent hours with him and walked with him thru Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, & shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it’s worse—he doesn’t care whatsoever…He was unmoved by the experience.”

Interesting discussion with one of Canada's best political commentators, @acoyne.bsky.social . www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldlu...

Well done.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

This is quite astonishing. On the latest "Conway Explains", @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social notes that in her focus groups, many people think that what Musk is doing is legal simply because he's doing it. People need to be told this is all ILLEGAL! www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6_u...

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.

Good to hear folks like Blumenthal and Pence calling out Trump. Trump is truly pathetic and weak. Utterly despicable.

🚨 NEW: Wow, Trump's former VP Mike Pence just called Trump out for lying about Ukraine.

Vance calls Zelenskyy "disgraceful" for pushing back on Trump's claim that Ukraine started the war. If Trump tells you that night is day, you'd better echo him or you will pay. America is now a predator nation. thenationalpulse.com/2025/02/19/e...

Deer My Friends In 2018 I promissed to be For the People but I didnt make beer a dollur or lower taxes so in 2022 I promissed to Get It Done but I didnt finish the Eglintun LRT or end hallway hellthcare so now I promiss I will Pertect Ontario from the US by making more jails for the Teens. Premair

nato made a lot of sense to americans when the united states wanted troops to fight alongside in afghanistan.

@aoc.bsky.social

BREAKING: New video from the Delta plane crash in Toronto shows the full extent to crash.

Just to make it all about me, my daughter has been stranded in Toronto for days now due to crap @aircananda.bsky.social policies plus issues beyond their control... I am just sick with worry.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

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.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Experts: We have to tell the story of how closely the sequence of events we're seeing fits the modern authoritarian playbook People in public life: The president has literally declared he's above the law. It's time to start acting like this is a crisis before it's too late.

Peace in our time

My latest: The democratic world will have to get along without America. It may even have to defend itself from it

It should go without saying, but perhaps not: Removing uncomfortable histories because they fail to glorify the dominant group in power is not the sign of a healthy and free society.

CBS is one of a dozen U.S. outlets that responded to authoritarianism by shifting coverage further right, which is why we're calling rounding up minorities in the middle of the night and dumping them in random countries they've never been to a "breakthrough"

For some unknown reason, Aqua Velva has noticed a dramatic decline in the sales of one of its products.

Infectious diseases right now

Musk's lack of understanding or his duplicity, whichever, would be laughable if it wasn't so damaging.
