“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

it’s so good

A first-ever humorous episode of The Dig: TrueAnon’s Brace Belden and Liz Franczak on our freakish, reactionary tech oligarchy. Musk and friends built a technological infrastructure that warped everyone’s minds (including their own). Now they’re seizing the state. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/slop...

Facts 👇👇👇

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

federal electeds afraid of death threats during a coup should resign, elected office isn't a normal career path

my real fear (articulated last november) is that Musk following the Twitter playbook doesn't just mean chaos and organizational dysfunction and firings...it means not caring at all about the financial health of the organization bc the ultimate goal is creating a political weapon

Made a video to celebrate spacex taking over air traffic control, please enjoy

donald trump has ordered the IRS to hand over all of your personal information to a Holocaust denier who works for the richest man on Earth, who is a Nazi

Dom Lucre was suspended from Twitter for posting brutal child pornography / child murder videos. Elon Musk personally reinstated him. A White House visit for this felon is unthinkable.

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

It is my privilege to boost this classic St. Louis February piece from Kevin Killeen

The Squad is 100% correct and leading the way here. Crazy how the arch-PMC Dems have so little sense of the levers of power. They’re technocrats, not politicians. They do not think in terms of power. It’s wild

She's right and we should call her colleagues and say so.

the reason I am not particularly worried about billionaires surviving the apocalypse in secret bunkers is that pretty recently we had an actual doomsday scenario and all of those guys went insane within like two weeks

No backing track for Kendrick. He sounds great

Jesse waters talking about USAID funding a gas station in Afghanistan that had no customers to the tune on 43 million dollars. Bro you are finding the dark money. They are going to **** you

I know there are bigger issues right now, but did anyone else notice that the first two episodes on Severence Season 2 were reversed relative to the narrative? Why air the 2nd act 1st? This choice made the 1st ep kind of disorienting as to the the stakes, but in a minimizing way

Should we read the Luka Doncic trade as the Lakers seizing an opportunity to move past LeBron longterm? I don’t see how this makes the lakers better in the short term

It’s a uniquely St. Louis story how an allegedly boozed up Board of Aldermen united to give Budweiser a big tax break taking $$ away from public school kids before descending into chaos over the Rams settlement legislation. Sober up. All of you!

At every point in the past 8 years, critics have articulated what a serious political response to Trump would look like, and at every point people with power have declined to follow through. No one bothers anymore because no one believes there are any serious people with power.

This was such a great read The Old Rules Are For Losers - defector.com/the-old-rule...

Wild. Top is the NBC upload, bottom is the one aired as the live feed

Yknow what, we should ban TikTok. We’re better off without it

Any other St Louis folks here?
