I was one of the people screaming all year that Trump was obviously more incapacitated than Biden and asking why the New York Times fuckers kept lying to everyone.

👀 👀 👀 here’s big boy bob attempting to drag one of his constituents out of a public town hall meeting, and threatening to pepper spray her if she did not comply. he stated he wasn’t acting in his official capacity, yet he was wearing a hat that said sheriff and his badge was visible on his belt

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

Multiple reports of drivers doing spontaneous sieg heil salutes at protesters today, including in one case from someone I know personally. What is being normalized is monstrous and dangerous; every day we step closer to the abyss

News orgs offering big dollar settlements for defensible defamation claims is insane from a self-preservation perspective. You just declared that it’s open season for bullshit lawsuits against you

Remember when everyone made fun of Kendi for proposing a Department of Anti-Racism that would have veto over the entire government? It just occurred to me that the conservatives invented the equivalent Department of Racism in DOGE

Twitter didn't survive. The richest man in the world cut its revenue in half and added over $1 billion a year in interest alone. It was completely dead as a going concern. He is only able to keep it alive now as a criminal enterprise, through extorting advertisers.

It’s not easy being the bootlicking nazi wing of the american “press” but somebody has to do it

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

the federal government represented in court that this man is not in charge of anything official

They're also reconstructing Canada tariffs in the aggregate with all of the "universal tariff on specific goods" proposals Cars are the #2 ($28B) US import from Canada, vehicle parts #4 ($11B), aluminum #6 ($7B), trucks #7 ($7B), lumber #11 ($5B), he's talked about universal tariffs on all of them

“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.”

You know JD Vance is gonna spike the ball on his memory when he dies and it'll be fucking gross

Get-rich-quick schemes used to be mocked in this country, now they’re aspirational

Worth noting: Bannon said to an Israeli Jewish visitor to CPAC, minutes after the end of the speech at which he delivered his Sieg Heil.

in todays news polish MFA brought a Shahed drone to the CPAC in USA but for some reason it was presented as "Iranian drone that kills US soldiers" it was shot down in Ukraine and either polish or americans painted over russian names on the drone idk what to say, but this is how misinformation works

fucking quisling

it's wild to think this was CAF's proposals in 2015

every right wing party in the western world especially anglophone countries, probably has a groypheized staffer class at the moment, especially young ones

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

This brief exchange perfectly sums up the current state of the post-truth online information space.

As hurtful as it sounds, the United States is siding with Russia by demanding Ukrainian resources and threatening with action for refusal to comply. We are being robbed by the world's two largest nuclear powers. Welcome back to the 21st-century Molotov-Ribbentrop reality

Trump administration says grounds for tariffs can include any regulations that slow the growth of US companies abroad www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

his entire presidency will be just pardoning these same people over and over again

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

This is an “initial” purge. Reports suggest this could expand to “tens of thousands” over the coming weeks. Shock and awe now hitting the Pentagon

Mexico is taking a stand against the US. President Claudia Sheinbaum has warned Trump not to launch an ‘invasion’ to fight cartels. “This cannot be an opportunity for the US to invade our sovereignty.”

its genuinely insane that they're firing CJCS for being black and CNO for being a woman. that is what's happening here

we are currently threatening ukraine for mineral rights which they cannot give, we cannot use, because the chief executive wants to do an imperialism

[willem dafoe unprompted] now, this cookie monster. [toothy smile] what a creature, what a lust. it consumes him. [crosses legs] he’s really a tragic figure.

is that good

Ahead of the 3rd anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I spoke with three Ukrainian newcomers to Winnipeg about the homes they left behind and the precious belongings they escaped with. Their stories at the link below. https://buff.ly/4b9V9FK @winnipegfreepress.com

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world just lost $1.4 billion (with a B) to a hack. This is 5x as much as the previous largest exchange hack in history.

“western civilization is saved” i say, while i smash its high cultural artifacts, abandon its ideological mandate, and dismantle its institutional entrenchments

amazing how New York Times editors seem to regularly do this thing that would've gotten me fired from most jobs I've had

seems pretty definitive when even a National Front type just calls out the salute for what it is

It is so *weird* living in a new reality that most people can't even see. Million of people think they're still living in a world that no longer exists. Wildly disconcerting times.
