Interesting how papers in other countries aren't afraid to call this what it is. elpais.com/mexico/2025-...

“The basic question is: which side are you on? Putin, Musk, Trump and the sieg-heiling Bannon? Or European democracy.” Exactly right from @paulmason.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/htsf/p/w...

They’re going to have people following them around, including picketing their homes. They’re not going to evade this.

Trump’s purge at the Pentagon is just the start. Last night he fired the highly-regarded General C Q Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and replaced him with a retired three-star general, Dan Caine, who on their first meeting put on a MAGA cap and said ‘I love you, sir.’

The biggest suprise for me was the two non-entity racists didn’t already have Spectator columns. That’s their whole thing

KAMALA HARRIS: you didn't just fall out of a coconut tree... MEDIAN SWING VOTER: yes I fucking did how dare you

Michael Young coined the phrase "meritocracy" as satire, and then he fathered Toby Young in case people didn't get the joke.

So much for the whole 'he won't dare touch the military, they're a check' analysis.

I like that he’s clearly reached the level where even the people he pays to pretend he’s funny can’t pretend anymore so now it’s that everyone must be like the Man Who Cannot Post

It’s interesting that the right think a podcast by two bigots no one has heard of is “driving the national conversation” rather than dealing with the fact they’re just withdrawing into their comfort blanket

A trailer during U20 Six Nations coverage has revealed #DoctorWho series two as April 12th. Pretty sure that wasn’t the plan.

pedo-con theory

Trump relies on people reading about him & not seeing videos of him being the whingest little cunt you’ve ever seen at any pushback

it is cool how this is illegal and that does not make it into the headline at all

Brilliant minds all around

Does anyone know why we haven't done this?

his entire presidency will be just pardoning these same people over and over again

How it started. How it’s going

Republicans are really just mounting a full-on war against the First Amendment. Today Florida's new "how did this guy get a license to practice" AG filed a lawsuit against Target for the Pride merchandise it sold in 2023, alleging harms to FL's retirement fund. floridaphoenix.com/2025/02/20/f...

stove touching cometh?

Good luck finding people who want to be child genital inspectors in a state with this level of personal gun ownership bsky.app/profile/orii...

I don’t know of any other country that surrendered in a war it was winning, while not even fighting.

The media acting like Musk invented the Nazi salute and everyone else is just copying him is the weirdest form of Holocaust denial

I’d like to think I’m the first person to get into a flame war with VPOTUS from the swimming pool of Woburn Center Parcs at half-term.

Hey @chatterton.bsky.social Rufo, among many other things, made up evidence that Haitians were eating people's pets. Now some 500,000 Haitians who were here legally are likely going to get deported. Glad he criticized you in "good faith" though. Enjoy staying on a platform run by the administration

Oh man I’m looking forward to the farce

It appears the markets have gotten to the literally stage of the seriously, not literally cycle

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.

Imagine how news media would respond if it was Harris saying this after a dozen eggs topped $8 nationally

Sure looks like Google News caught the Latin Times using a large language model to write an article picking up on my latest report

Hey remember when I said Chapo trap house was one of the worst things to ever happen to left wing digital spaces?

I’d love to know who he thinks these “high IQ, high agency” people are? (Albert Speer)

Sorry to bore on about this. But why should anyone take what she has to say about "national pride" seriously when Badenoch can't shut up about how she really dislikes this country?

Its infuriating when on premier UK political discussion programmes people can say things like 'Elon is pro free speech' without any kind of pushback

Honestly, this is an insane thing for a major political party to be running with. It’s mad. It’s by mad people for mad people.

When these people tell you exactly who they are, make sure you listen.

Will they be asked why they’re attending a conference where main stage speeches end in nazi salutes

Quite impressed how More In Common have taken something I genuinely believe (that the most vocal left-wing activists are often wildly disconnected from the people they would need to persuade) and done some bizarrely subjective research that makes me want to reject the entire premise out of hand.

Typical of British politics that an organisation set up after the murder of a British MP by a right-wing extremist is now shouting at left-wingers for being too critical of right-wing extremists

Anyways, so this is whose podcast Maurice Glasman is happy to appear on. And yet people think he should have some voice in Labour politics?

I’m sure all the Tories endorsing an organisation promoting nazis will be asked about this.

"Sure, fascists are throwing Naxi salutes during their Day 1 speeches at CPAC, but sometimes 19 year-old Gender Studies majors at Oberlin College are a bit preachy about LGBTQ+ rights on social media, so aren't both sides actually the same?"

I’m increasingly of the view that whether media outlets call this a Nazi salute tells you everything you need to know about them. If they don’t have the courage to say things which can be proven simply by looking at them, how can they be trusted to hold the Trump admin to account on anything else?
