If you support this, you’re an awful human being

Nick misses the old days when the Nazis were more competent.

Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

Extortion, pure and simple.

The UK is forcing Apple to weaken encryption. Such demands have no precedent in democratic countries and would have far-reaching consequences not only for UK residents but for Internet users worldwide, write TechFreedom’s Berin Szóka and Santana Boulton. www.techpolicy.press/uk-encryptio...

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

sometimes decorum should be broken sometimes disrespect is appropriate sometimes violence is the answer nazis are always a stain on the collective spirit of humanity

It’s a cry for help from Desantis. He’s lonely, isolated, and wants his friends back from before he ran against Trump. Maybe this will rekindle fond memories of the life they once had together as brothers in arms fighting the culture wars, and they will return to praise him.

yesterday?

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.

Always stand up to a bully

Yes, thank you, #GoodGuardian. Culture wars: Trump’s takeover of arts is straight from the dictator playbook www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

MeidasTouch….

I’m shocked.

The exact opposite. I put an awful lot of faith in zelensky. And I always thought bluesky was a better place to hold discussions. Hope I’m not wrong

Please please please goad Musk into flying on one of his totally safe rockets.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

It’s a cult.

And who they didn't like

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

The Trump Administration has cost our country over 22,406 American jobs. trumpcostsamerica.com

Trump fired the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? I wonder what race he … come on, let me finish before you start laughing

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Imagine being too far-right and Nazi-like for the French far-right: "French far-right leader cancels US speech after ex Trump aide Bannon appeared to make 'Nazi gesture'"

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.
