Pretty telling.

So many new leaders.

How it started. How it’s going

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

Refuse. Resist. Ridicule. We change things by what we do - by the example we show in the world of our beliefs.

Having been a DC voter and taxpayer for a very long time, I can say: This jurisdiction now runs better, and has a longer record of steady improvement, than, say, Palm Beach. Go fix Florida. Then come tell us about DC.

"We hate him too"

Kash Patel’s confirmation to head the FBI is quite a contrast to what happened with Richard Nixon’s first pick, L. Patrick Gray, who Congress rejected for being to partisan & too close to the president—the same characteristics Patel possesses. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

If you think it's weird that Nazis keep sieg heiling, I have a JD Vance lecture for you to endure.

A conspiracy theory more ridiculous than QAnon

Why aren't (most) Democrats responding as is required to the hostile takeover of our government? They are presently only hearing from their customers (voters) and not the people who hired them (donors). Corporate America is so far quiet about the coup. Want Dems to step up? Pressure their donors.

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

The closure ends the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database — a resource experts said improved public safety by preventing bad officers from jumping from agency to agency. Because abusive cops are Trump's favorite kind. Cruelty is the point. www.axios.com/2025/02/21/d...

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

Must we?

Happy Black History Month

Well now.

When the shit goes down everybody meet up at the library. The MAGAs don't know about that place.

Really fun

Live from Pyongyang, it's Saturday Night!

Some are feeling bad about how easy it turned out to be to just buy America. But if you consider the $44 bil Musk paid for Twitter prelude to the $250 mil he spent on the presidency, our country cost almost half as much as OpenAI! I think we can all hold our heads high. Our freedom didn’t go cheap

“When the president does it, that means it’s not illegal” — Richard Nixon, 1977 “He who saves his country does not violate any law” — Donald Trump, 2025

I fixed it for you.

Massachusetts! 🚨

I remember when Obama mildly criticized Fox News, the entire journalism world -- hey there, @jaketapper.bsky.social -- rose to its defense. Now Trump is excluding the AP from briefings & all the other media quislings are lining up for their slop without a word of protest.

This is deranged.

I'm going to start replying to every appeal for funds with a deal: you start making statements to media about what's happening, and THEN I'll donate.

This.

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

these cabinet announcements are like an advent calendar counting down to the apocalypse
