I spent years being like “look guys American fascism doesn’t have to look like the German kind, it’s always been a transnational movement that draws on a variety of symbols and traditions ….” And now they’re just out there doing literal Hitler salutes.

I feel like we’re weeks away from seeing Trumpers do this en masse at a rally

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

I’ve recommended this YouTube channel before but it takes outtakes and edits them into the episodes and if you have any affection for the source material you will be in a better mood after watching a couple youtu.be/l7oWXooPT80?...

Jordan Peterson is another example of what I call a competency cosplayer. Informed people immediately identity him as an intellectual fraud, but uninformed people can fancy him an intellectual who flatters their unexamined prejudices.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes worldwide because of USGS.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

This is a hopeful perspective, and also a very necessary one. The more people see angry citizens, public refusals to comply or to kneel, and public servants speaking about their loyalty to the Constitution, the more fragile the Trump coalition will be, and the more isolated the Musk clique will be

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Is bluesky more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult or is ejecting an acquaintance from your chateau in rural France for the sin of disrespecting Bari Weiss more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult?

Good explanation of an infuriating trend: judges saying they can't rule for standing issues (unions don't have standing to represent their members!) or because those affected have not exhausted executive branch appeals that Trump now controls and rendered useless.

There are so many evil and downright stupid people in this country who want all manner of terrible things to happen to others but I guarantee you there isn't one who wants to die in a plane crash because some juvenile billionaire thought it was epic and based to sabotage all of them.

again: in the last ~3 weeks, the US government has shut down most of the meaningful counterterrorism work it does (in favor of, well, this). How long until ISIS tries the door handle and finds its been left unlocked?

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Interesting to see that US safety standards focus on what happens to people inside the car on collision, whereas in the UK there’s a much greater focus on pedestrian safety and that of people in the cars you collide with.
