Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

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...

I fact check this and found a number of sources supporting Hebert said exactly this ... she is certainly correct. #PierrePoilievre is a despicable man not worthy of any of our votes! He is trying to destroy Canada just to gain power. @mark-carney.bsky.social #Liberals #CPC #NDP #BQ

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

The American right was always at real risk of turning into a personality cult, but you'd think they could've mustered the pride and self-respect to pick a less stupid personality.

One thing this little bleat from Chad “Damp Little Britches” Mizelle demonstrates is the duality of Trumpism: it’s about simultaneously being (1) a tough truth-telling masculine elbow-thrower and (2) as fragile as a porcelain goose. Bullies who can dish, but weep at the slightest pushback. Losers.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

The NYTimes apparently didn’t even consider Bannon’s Nazi salute at CPAC to be newsworthy until the far-right French politicians tried to distance themselves from it. And even then, the headline is “Bannon Salute, Echoing Musk, Draws Criticism from French Right”.

I've never seen so many mobilizations, rallies and actions, honestly. They're happening pretty constantly, in cities but also in small towns and in every single state. They're not getting tons of coverage, but they're happening, and they're growing. Join one, or start one, you're not alone in this.

Apple is making its statement clear to UK users: you aren’t protected. When governments violate privacy, it’s not about 'security'—it’s about control. Data collection justifies monitoring behavior and suppressing the people. Privacy is a right; once lost, we lose more than just data.

Important piece. Young people are hard to poll, but this fits the general thrust of my essays and pods over the last year. Young ppl, esp men, have moved right in the last few years; and in many cases young men are even more right-leaning than older men (OTOH: Watch that dip...)
