We kicked holocaust denier Ernst Zündel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

I love the idea that the ketamine and video game junky with 13 (known) kids who posts 200 times a day and who works for the golfer in chief is worried that other people aren’t working hard enough.

“Like how can you be a remotely competent historian without insisting upon a Great Man interpretation that actual historians rejected ages ago?”

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.

It turns out that telling your voters for decades that they don’t deserve better things and then doing and saying fuck-all when a fascist movement takes power is bad politics!

"the Republican Party has transformed from a despicable but predictable vehicle for the interests of capital into an enormous cult of personality in which you must either be a legitimate lunatic zealot or a remarkably shameless ass kisser in order to rise in status. This is a mob"

Journalists: for the love of truth itself please stop using the phrase “cost-cutting” to describe a project of aligning the government with an oligarch’s greedy power grab

Eric Adams has effectively become a MAGA hostage—albeit a willing one. Trump now gets to live out a boyhood fantasy of being the top boss of his hometown. How far will he go?

The age of public deference to "religion" has to end. These churches are bastions of white evangelical identity politics: racist nationalism, christian supremacy and misogynist patriarchy.

This is interesting because the question is less what they will do as legislators and more what they will do as politicians. AOC is a member of the House minority, but she’s doing a lot of politics about all of this anyway.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

“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.”

Whatever else one can say about the military, it’s an institution that values DOING THE JOB. When you’ve spent most of your time yapping on television and cashing in on your relatively shallow experience with THE JOB people who DO THE JOB tend to see through it

Jess Bidgood is an absolute imbecile. Just read her email newsletter describing Musk at CPAC from the perspective of a newborn baby. What’s the meaning of the chainsaw? Please Jess, explain this complex, layered metaphor

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.

Obviously this is bad and very stupid, but the tenor of this kind of Trump communique is very funny to me. It's a real HOA energy, just someone being annoying and small who knows they're being that way, and who more or less sees that as both their highest personal calling and the purpose of the job.

This guy is too much of a chicken to stand up publicly to a guy who he privately described as a "moral disaster" or to defend his own wife's honor from a punk who works for Elon and said we should "normalize Indian hate". Obsequious, snivelling, Vancely cowardice is the opposite of masculinity.

This whole saga has, I think, demonstrated very well my contention that American political journalists believe that they deserve all of the respect and deference that comes with filling a vital societal role, while rejecting the idea that holding such a position also entails duties and obligations.
