If Trump's "new" Ukraine "peace plan" sounds familiar, it was in the Mueller Report. A lot.

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

This is a terrific and thoughtful essay and well worth the read! An important caution against the temptation of pop-history mis-readings driven by presentism.

Maybe they should send Liz Truss and J.D. Vance over to meet Putin. ☠️ 😉

This is right after RFK Jr has been openly spreading vile disinformation about how people with autism live, and implied that people who needed any kind of assistance in their lives are not even worthy of living. These are the things regimes say and do when they are laying the ground for genocide.

I'm laughing my ass off that there's a second signalgate and that he leaked secret strike information to his FAMILY (we need to take the comedy where we can these days), but in all seriousness there should be scalps for this - Hegseth at minimum - and keep hitting the regime on these crimes.

Comments and quotes very full of people who did not read past the quoted excerpt and know nothing about the author, very cool and good time

SPOILER ALERT: In the sci-fi show Andor, it was a massive surprise intended to horrify and shock viewers when they learned that the show's supermax actually lets no one out alive—no matter their offense or sentence. That's what CECOT—the Trump-Bukele joint—_already is_. So... everybody get it now?

The revelation that DOGE essentially set up Russian access to sensitive US servers and databases should not be seen as separate from the moves these past months to shut down the various cyber-security and cyber-defence teams at the Pentagon and FBI that were specifically focused on Russia and China.

“People call [the antiscience movement] ‘misinformation’ or ‘the infodemic’ as tho it’s just random junk out there on the Internet or social media, and it’s not— it’s organized, it’s well-financed, and it’s politically motivated.” — Dr. @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social in @sciam.bsky.social

Another day where essential opposition/revolutionary texts are coming from Teen Vogue and The Bulwark while the New York Times does autism conspiracy laundering and 13 looks from Coachella - I am too sober for this timeline

Kidnapping people off the street, flying them to a foreign country and paying to have them locked up in a brutal prison is not just outrageous. It's criminal. Criminal on many levels. Criminal in ways from which it cannot possibly be argued the president has immunity for his behavior.

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

This is a terrific piece you should all read. The Trump Regime is not *just* authoritarian, it's distinctly Fascist in its vision, its mythologizing and its expansionist ambitions. Understanding this is essential to defeating it.

Not intending to trample on the righteous joy from these SOBs getting what they deserve, but seeing "military operational plans for the Panama canal" is not great. 50/50 on whether they kick off Sicario 2 in Mexico or Panama Canal takeover first, but I fear one of those is coming this year.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I still maintain these radicalisation networks need to be treated with the same urgency and coordination of a legal comprehensive counter-terrorism campaign, much the way jihadi radicalisation was targeted, suppressed and dismantled. We know why the double standard exists but the threat is immense.

It is very funny that NYT let noted trade columnist Paul Krugman walk like six months ago or whatever because he wanted to produce too much trade content for their taste

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.
