Analysis | On the surface, it seems racist for Donald Trump to replace the Black chairman of the joint chiefs of staff with a lower-ranking white general. But what if the lower-ranking white general was a member of Blacks for Trump?

Some Republican lawmakers are scared President Donald Trump will incite violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his agenda, according to a report. “They’re scared s---less about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff." www.thedailybeast.com/gop-lawmaker...

I’m waiting for the first performative defamation lawsuit by some Trumpist asshole who gave a Nazi salute, filed against someone who called it a Nazi salute. It will mirror the bullshit suits filed by the assholes who did the white power sign who whined that they had been defamed by naming it.

I'm disappointed this kind of thing can happen in my state, but I'm very glad that the NMSC called out the prosecutor by name. This ADA should not be permitted to prosecute cases for the state again.

Trump’s EO ruining the independence of federal agencies shows the real goal of Musk and Trump is not efficiency or even winning the culture wars. It’s thievery. And they are exceptional thieves. My latest in @thenation.com

The left-wing backlash against Musk and Trump has become shrill and illiberal. It’s time for another Harper’s letter.

One thing this little bleat from Chad “Damp Little Britches” Mizelle demonstrates is the duality of Trumpism: it’s about simultaneously being (1) a tough truth-telling masculine elbow-thrower and (2) as fragile as a porcelain goose. Bullies who can dish, but weep at the slightest pushback. Losers.

The American right was always at real risk of turning into a personality cult, but you'd think they could've mustered the pride and self-respect to pick a less stupid personality.

I'm surprised these motherfuckers even had the spine to use the active voice instead of something like "Bannon in Provocative Gesture-Involved Incident"

"provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute"? You absolute despicable worm. You snivelling, belly-crawling weasel. Go shove a cactus up your peehole.

If you’re going to force me to look at Nazi salutes by using them as the images for the articles you publish, have the fucking decency to call it what it is. Provocative gesture? Literally what the fuck is wrong with you.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the concept of "IQ." Whenever someone seriously mentions the importance of IQ, I know I can shut my brain off because nothing they say is worth thinking about. It's so convenient!

My friends, I have terrible news. I’ve written an academic paper about Bluesky and why it’s great for scientists Reviewers liked it and it got minor revisions But a peer reviewer requested that I remove my brief aside about ALF’s alien boy bits (as an example of the quirky culture here)

The stuff they're doing is deeply unpopular and they're rapidly heading in that direction. Stop treating them like they're untouchable. We can fight back.

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

It’s journalistic malpractice — to the extent that’s a thing any more — to talk about this Ed Martin letter without clarifying that every expert, other than administration hacks, thinks that Garcia’s statement was not remotely plausibly a true threat. It’s simply ludicrous.

There is zero question that the Trump Administration is going after mail voting.

They are telling us, out loud, exactly how the 2026/28 elections will not be free & fair. They will go after vote by mail (bsky.app/profile/mira...). They will go after computer voting. They will then say we can't count all the paper ballots because it's taking too long & there must be fraud. Etc.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.
