“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

you and I might see this as a direct threat to living in an open society, and a horrendous insult to everyone who fought and died to kill fascism in Europe, but the dems will see this as a fundraising opportunity, and then do nothing

This is what happens when we’re convinced to “hear all sides” and to “engage with those we don’t agree with” so we can populate “the marketplace of ideas” What absolute horseshit

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

in my experience, anti-Americanism is often used as a smokescreen by politicians and talking heads in other anglophone countries to distract from or excuse their own similar (and occasionally, even worse) policies if it’s bad over there, than it’s bad over here! don’t fall for it!

‘The truth’ was her declaring that all LGBT+ people want to sexually assault children, something never once mentioned in this glowing profile and a belief that the tribunal directly refused to take prima facie as the common meaning of what she said, considering it mere hyperbole

My advisor, @profgabriele.com , pointed out that this tweet is more or less the perfect summation of what my dissertation is getting it. The terminally online, hateful and irony poisoned language-game of 4-Chan has become the language of politics in the most blatant and obvious way possible.

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...
