Kanye West, who recently launched a swastika shirt, calls Steve Bannon’s “Roman salute” fun

Rachel Maddow: Trump 'weak and beside the point' in Musk's shadow — and it may not last: MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow unloaded on tech billionaire Elon Musk on Friday in a deep dive into the finances, potential conflicts of interest and relationship the world’s richest person has developed with President…

Same old M&S. My Dad started reading the Daily Mail years ago, as there was a voucher collection over a number of editions. Over time, it lead to his views being poisoned, which is typical of that paper. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest they advertise on GB News.

It’s a cult.

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

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Sheinbaum: tRuMp'S EO renaming gulf applied to area of continental shelf under 🇺🇸 control "under no circumstances will MX accept renaming of geographic zone w/in its own territory & under it's jurisdiction." Google: 🇺🇸 will see 'Gulf of America. Everyone else will see both names. 🤔 #Voices4Victory

Glad to see President Claudia Sheinbaum standing up to sue Google regarding the convicted felon’s asinine name change. All spineless Republicans needs to watch and learn as other countries refuse to put up with the BS. #ProudBlue

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org files emergency lawsuit to halt DOGE from taking taxpayer data at the IRS. Visit Democracy Docket for full coverage. www.democracydocket.com

Zesty salt n pepper moves

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

A Texas county is taking steps to declare a state of emergency and seek federal assistance over farmland contaminated with harmful “forever chemicals,” as concerns grow over the safety of fertilizer made from sewage.

I’m so fucking sick of all of these criminals playing victim.

Not me crying and cheering for Elsbeth and Angus! #ElsbethTV #CBS May Angus be a recurring character and stress and crime free!

Elon Musk’s DOGE just posted classified U.S. intelligence data on its website, and officials are scrambling, HuffPost reports.

You don’t get to have it both ways… you don’t get to harass and terrorize immigrants … then beg for their labor www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Who made this. 🤣

Some terrifying news out. Yes this is a real post.

These accidents keep happening.

"An administrative coup refers to the illegal overthrow of a government achieved primarily without overt violence, relying instead on claiming powers, intimidation, bullying, extortion, and threats to media, thereby seizing all powers." open.substack.com/pub/antiauth...

"If the 'DOGE' endeavor is working, why can’t the White House just tell the truth about what it's doing?" www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Rep. LaMonica McIver: "We are at war!"

If you want Starmer to ditch his red lines on Freedom of Movement it is not enough to complain on social media. You need to act, and the best way of acting is to vote for pro-EU parties in the local elections. Politicians heed votes, not words. #RejoinEU ##FBPE

Perfectly captured.

Black folks understanding the assignment today on social media is my favorite thing. Happy Black History Month!!!

An unelected and unconfirmed private citizen, a foreign immigrant, has full access to the United States Treasury Department’s payment system. Let that sink in…

Some people voted for trump. Some people voted for Kamala. Some people voted 3rd party. But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security. What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

Boom!! That’s how it’s done!! 🇲🇽 🇨🇦

Wow. Just listen to this from Canadian MP, Charlie Angus on Trump's tariffs: “The threat comes, of course, from the president of the United States—a convicted felon and known predator”

The National Association of Home Builders explains what happens if we make inputs for home construction, such as Canadian lumber, more expensive.

hey question, is this bad?

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I would much rather have qualified and experienced DEI hires than unqualified buffoons that suck up to the boss and don't know how to do the job or even care to learn how to do the job. But, that's just me.

Such an important point… “The country has been hardened by a nine-year deliberate campaign of dehumanization.” — @NicolleDWallace We didn’t get here overnight. This wasn’t a quick process.

Senator Adam Schiff goes off about Kash Patel at his Senate confirmation hearing: "How did we get here?!?! Where we are defending a nominee like this, who makes songs with convicts who attack law enforcement? How did we get here?!?" 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Senator Adam Schiff torched Kash Patel: "Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th." BOOM! 🔥

"The buck stops here"- Harry Truman "I don't take any responsibility at all."- DJT

Senator Dick Durban to Kash Patel: "With all due respect, Mr. Patel, I've not worn the uniform of this country and neither have you. To think that you would denigrate Bob Mueller's service to our country and call him a 'swamp creature' is an indication of the depths your political views take you."

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Last month, Calvin Robinson brought antisemitic Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon onto his podcast to explain why he believes that "Judaism is a pernicious evil."

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...
