Authoritarianism is inherently strange. Trump’s worsening madness and Musk’s repulsive behavior is part of that, but also it all provides an opening for actual resistance. The backlash is coming. It’s on us to be ready when the moment arrives. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/sound-and-...

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

Look at what happened in GA last night with that congressman and tell me the ENTIRE FN REP PARTY IS NOT GOING IMPLODE in the most cataclysmic way within 6 months.

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey. the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

The Trump curse strikes again. He couldn’t just stay out of it. First the KC Chiefs and now the US Hockey team. He’s on a roll.

The Texas Observer has identified an “overtly racist social media account” on Twitter as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden in Dallas. Color me not shocked that a white supremacist is an ICE agent.

CAN hardly wait to see Trumps infantile Truth later today on CAnada winning the Stanley cup. He will destroy the US TEAM and BLAME DEI at all levels. WAIT FOR IT cause its coming

We wanted to understand the future of AI. So we talked to three Hawk Tuah cryptocurrency investors at a White Castle in Toms River.

💥 Apple is upholding its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Despite attack from right-wing anti-DEI shareholder activists -- the same anti-DEI group that targeted Costco. And just like Costco, look for Apple shareholders to tell anti-DEI activists to take a hike on Feb 25.

There will be retribution. The incoming FBI director published a book that includes an enemies list. In a weird, backhanded compliment, he told Steve Bannon that I am an “enemy of the Republican Party. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

New word to add to your vocabulary…

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Wait till they hear about the Department of Transportation

Opinion | The woke Left is banging the table claiming that it was Russian soldiers who invaded Ukraine in 2022. But how do we know it wasn't Antifa and Black Lives Matter, wearing Russian uniforms?

I hate this South African animal like cancer and death, but the alleged tweet where he tells Americans to roll around like pigs is fake.
