Just told my kids I’m the new DOGEfather, threw out all the food in the fridge, burned their clothes, and will homeschool them and feed them cardboard. Figure that will save my family about $85 billion. <snorts line of ketamine, throws sieg heil, picks up chainsaw> My mind is a storm.

1. Made a voodoo doll of a billionaire. 2. Stuck needles in in it while muttering dark incantations. 3. Dropped it in a jar of goat urine, rusty coffin nails, and mirror shards, then sealed the jar with black candle wax. 4. Buried it at a crossroads. 5. Smiled and had a nice cup of tea.

Recently I was told, “It’s not known for a fact that Musk was doing a Nazi salute.” Yes. Yes it is.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

I’m not saying we should all panic. But maybe the government shouldn’t shut down all the systems we have for monitoring this situation. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

"Move fast and break things" sounds like some bold techbro vision of innovation, but it's also the same motto of thieves who want to do a smash-and-grab and get the fuck out before anybody can catch them.

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner
