While I’m expecting another round of “describe a Nazi salute without using the word Nazi or salute” from the press, their reticence is unnecessary. I mean look at these assholes. They love it. They know what they’re doing and they’re proud of it. Calling Nazi a Nazi shouldn’t be too much to ask.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

France is taxing the rich, it is time for the UK to do the same. Many of these people are paying a tax rate of less than 10%.

What a bastard Trump is. Governor says she’ll follow the law on trans people - Trump retorts “I am the law” then threatens (through Elon’s hijack of computers) to switch off funding if she doesn’t obey.

This is such a great example of what its actually really important to bring the heat to elected Republicans: they are massively soft crybabies who will 100% come unglued when faced with even the slightest bit of pushback from voters.

After almost 2.5 years of fundraising, stress, and an ocean of tears I would love to wrap the last 16% of this campaign up and settle in to the work ahead.

Trans people are under deliberate, sustained, omni attack Pretending that MAGA isn't built on hatred of trans people, with the destruction of trans people as a goal, will not change the reality that MAGA is trying to kill trans people If we stick our heads in the sand, they will not simply go away

“I just wanna say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I’m never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can’t change that, and fuck this administration.”

The government-haters don't seem to consider that the orderly settled existence they take for granted is made possible by hosts of people they don't see. If things work and nothing bad happens, we're seen as useless. If it doesn't work and bad things happen, it's also our fault.

There’s a certain type of white woman who seem to think they can hide their racism behind a slew of white noise level nonsense criticism levelled at Meghan Markle and assume the rest of us won’t see it for what it is. We do. Always.

Republicans could easily stop Trump and Musk’s liquidation of government functions their constituents rely on. Just a small handful—literally single digits—could work with Democrats and end it. Instead they meekly go along while privately begging for dispensation. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

This is a very good (and very Black) strategy. If you see a bunch of people running away from something, don’t even try to figure out what it is. Run with them, then ask questions later lol

The right wing woman is not insincere in her politics, but she is tactical: she believes that sexual and reproductive service to right wing men will earn her their protection, affection, and material support. She is wrong.

100% also little idea of how much is spent and where. John Oliver had a piece this week that cited how much folk think USAID spends (40%) as opposed to the tiny percentage point that was actually spent. Many also didn’t know the good that was done with that money or how it positively impacts the US.

Listen say what you will about r-word discourse but the fact that Elon Musk, Matty Yglesias, and friends have started saying it it's like big loser shit anyway.

May he live to witness the worst of what his work has wrought, survive long enough to watch the last of his legacy defeated by the dawning day of a future he tried to kill, and hold neither power nor peace for a single moment of it.
