"The strategic ambiguity about whether or not we live in an autocracy is designed to preserve maximum maneuverability for the regime until such time as they have full control and no longer need to maneuver."

It's not just the biggest peacetime tax increase in US history. It's also the most regressive tax increase in US history.

in fairness to the market no one could have guessed that a nearly 80 year-old ex-President with a messianic self-certainty and the hyperfixation of a toddler would enact a policy he spent each and every day of a two-year campaign promising to enact!

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

Today's tariffs brought to you by the guy who thought the stealth fighter was actually invisible, wanted to nuke hurricanes, told everyone to inject bleach, thought Seoul's population is 35 million because Wikipedia said its elevation is "35m," and looked directly at the sun during an eclipse.

Musk attempting to defend calling Sen. Mark Kelly a “traitor” after he visited Ukraine shows that this person has a very dark soul, demented worldview, and inability to understand very basic things about humanity. This is gross. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Universities and other institutions are going to need to quickly spin up allowing non-citizen students and faculty etc. to go full remote from outside of the country. The reality is foreign nationals are not safe here and universities in particular are being targeted.

Bonne journée internationale de la femme! Parce que les droits des femmes n’existent tout simplement pas dans de nombreux pays, qu’ils reculent dans certains pays démocratiques et qu’ils sont dénigrés par la tendance masculiniste, oui, la journée de la femme est à souligner encore plus que jamais.

J’aimerais féliciter les idiots utiles qui hurlaient à la catastrophe si Kamala Harris était élue. La Russie a le champ libre en Europe. La Chine, pour Taiwan. Les USA glissent vers la dictature. On risque une récession mondiale. Mais on a remis les trans à leur place. Bravo!

Individual steps towards autocracy can seem petty and personal. But their significance goes beyond that. Retaliation or retribution against one individual or institution is a way to intimidate many others. It’s a way to induce much broader compliance.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

This isn't about Zelenskyy, a patriot and hero. This is about an American administration penetrated and compromised by America's enemies.

Trump, and by extension the American government, has sold out our ally and is now on the side of Putin’s despotism. This is what 77 million Americans voted for in pulling the lever for him. Trump’s fondness for Putin was no mystery. It’s a stain upon our country and a disgrace.

This was baked in from the moment he won the election and absolutely nothing Zelensky could have said or done would have prevented it.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”
