Trump fabricated a photo of Mr. Garcia with an MS-13 tattoo on his hand in an effort to keep him in prison. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCIST regimes do. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-fabr...

It is hilarious how easily the self described Big Swinging Dicks of Wall Street cower before a reality show burnout who managed to bankrupt several casinos.

Trump reportedly drafted a delirious executive order for ‘a disciplined reorganization’ of the State Department that would shut down embassies and cut climate change and refugee offices www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

#SignalGate 2.0 Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat "Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer."

The 14 defining characteristics of fascism.

Assuming this post today is aimed at us. The Trump admin changed the rules to make it easier to replace career federal employees with political loyalists. If you’re not alarmed by Trump’s post, you should be. This isn’t about policy it’s about control. It’s “do as I say, or you’re replaced.”

Of the 77 million people who voted for Trump, I think only a few million are stupid enough to believe what he says. Which means the rest of them like his lies. They think he’s lying righteously to hurt the people they hate: libs, dark-skinned people, pushy women. They think Trump is lying for them.

This one would know from hapless rubes. All at once he lectures on topics he knows squat about, insults a true pro and, as always, manages to squeeze in a self aggrandizement of how smart of an investor he purports himself to be. Truth: Thirstiest VC in SV.

🚨⚖️👇🏾 people who write snappy opeds are not usually deemed to be a danger to the community.

'The federal government will find you': Immigration officials wrongfully told a Fox Valley man to leave the US.

Martin’s hits on Russian television are another warning about his lack of prudence and his political extremism - and he apparently gambled that his appalling comments might be forgotten once RT America shut down, a deceptiveness that should alarm the Senate. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Emma Jackson has worked at Google for over 20 years. Today, she's going public for the first time about what she says is Google's horrifying track record of complicity in state violence—particularly in Gaza.

tl;dr: Shut up and do what you're told. NOW!

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Gutting Social Security isn’t "efficient" — it’s a broken promise. Democrats and Republicans should stand up and fight back to protect it. My op-ed in Fox News:

Generally I’m in favor of scholars charitably presuming good faith, but the hacks suddenly crawling out of the woodwork to gin up doubt about birthright citizenship are hoping to weaponize that presumption. It should not be extended to them.

In "How Democracies Die," Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt wrote that democratic backsliding "begins at the ballot box." Strongmen get democratically elected, then turn institutions into "political weapons, wielded forcefully by those who control them against those who do not."

UPDATE: responses to the new more extreme WILLIAMSON COUNTY school board scrapping science textbook recs from teachers/parents after a long process were 89% (!!) negative The interference was led by Claire Reeves ( Rep. Lee Reeves’ wife) wcsb.substack.com/p/teachers-a...

Which is so weird given how sincere they are in the desire to stamp out anti-Semitism. So weird.

As Western luxury brands sell inflated illusions, Chinese producers on TikTok bypass them, revealing true production costs. This is no longer just commerce—it’s a political instrument. Has anyone not yet grasped the immense leverage TikTok gives the Chinese government?

1) The presser with Bukele with theater designed to get credulous journos to repeat the "terrorism" claim w/o question. Remember: THESE VERY SAME PEOPLE freed adjudged Jan6 terrorists on Day One. 2) The WAY in which they flouted courts provides more surface area (bc this was not classified).

A critical read in these times. And simultaneously astounding that it is necessary.

This is a fascist federal government abusing its power to harm its citizens. It’s time to fight back.

"Flood the zone" is aimed exactly at this capacity.

Loyalty first.

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

Beyond the overwrought lede and the uncritical framing, this story barely even tells the reader what she covers or writes or produces as a journalist. Just an unbelievably lazy piece of verbiage.

Hitler created this lapel pin badge for the German soldiers to wear on their uniforms; Trump also decided to have a lapel pin created. You have to be some kind in insecure racist narcissist small wanker loser to produce a pin with your face on it. And then there are those who actually wear it.

The FBI has suspended an analyst on Kash Patel’s so-called enemies list after Patel told lawmakers that the bureau under his leadership would stay out of the political fray and not punish employees for partisan reasons.

STRAIGHT UP AUTHORITARIANISM!!! DOGE is secretly monitoring staff — scanning messages, watching for disloyalty— and using AI to do it. No one should have to work under these conditions.

They’re going to accidentally deport a U.S. citizen aren’t they

For example, when Judge Xinis asked what the Trump administration had done so far to “facilitate” the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia, Mr. Ensign replied, “The defendants are not yet prepared to share that information.” “That means they’ve done nothing,” Judge Xinis said.

A fifth law firm capitulated today and agreed to become a Trump collaborator. Shameful.

Yea, so is the world rethinking the dollar. Per @pkrugman.bsky.social "However, even I didn’t expect him to destroy credibility accumulated over 80 years in less than three months. But he has." open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

When you are one hundred percent committed to battling anti-semitism:

What if we crowdfunded Ukraine a tanker?

Casar: At the end of the day, this is about taking your hard-earned money and giving it to themselves—or funneling it to their friends. That’s all this is about.

How is this not contemptuous behavior???
