I’ve been looking for a good write up of Yarvin and the “Dark Enlightenment”. As insane as this all sounds this is the WHY for what we are seeing today. Vance and Thiel both openly studied and follow Yarvin: www.reddit.com/r/Keep_Track...

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

For those at the back…

Art Laffin, Pax Christi USA's 2016 Teacher of Peace, recommends Wes Howard-Brook's resource Radical Bible: "As people of faith, we must remain rooted in the Word of God ... The better we understand Jesus, the better we can determine what we are called to do in this perilous time [of resistance] ..."

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

200 million dollars of waste.

A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked some enforcement of a series of executive orders by President Trump targeting DEI programs. Follow live updates.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

We have the Perplexity AI through a different subscription. Today it advertised a "deep research" function and, for fun, I asked it first whether my work is "woke" and second whether it is "traditionalist." And I don't hate what it came up with, embarrassingly.

There’s something happening in this country.

The U.S. has given Europe three weeks to agree on Ukraine's surrender terms—or it will withdraw from Europe, claims member of the European Parliament Mika Aaltola. "Trump prioritizes Russia’s security concerns now and in the future. Let them own their mess. We have three weeks to grow up."

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

‼️Journalists - pick this up‼️ “United States Marine Corps veteran, VA disability rating, federal probationary employee that was 6 days away from end of probation, with an Outstanding Performance Review rating…I was illegally terminated.” old.reddit.com/r/fednews/co...

Assholes all of them.

"Tyranny is rising in the White House, and a man has declared himself our king. So I would like to know—rather, the *people* would like to know, what you, Congressman, and your fellow congressmen are going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House."

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Why would anyone who is a patriot and loves this country do this? Because Trump isn’t a patriot and doesn’t love this country. And together we must stop him.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

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."

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

This headline is generating a lot of angry replies on that other social platform www.thebaltimorebanner.com/economy/soci...

When the U.S. joins Canada, keep in mind: over 1,500 assault-style firearms are banned, new parents can enjoy up to 18 months of paid leave, your SIN number grants you immediate access to free healthcare, tuition costs are half of what they are in the States

Exactly

What Elon Musk and Donald Trump are doing at NIH isn’t just illegal — it will literally cost American lives⬇️

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Opinion | The mainstream media is so broken that even throwing a Heil Hitler salute at a major political conference won’t get you any coverage. by Steve Bannon

I donated to all 3. If they all win, Dems have House back so well worth the investment. (But don't leave a "tip" for ActBlue. I'm sure they are getting their cut. 10% is outrageous! I'm in a similar business and know the costs.)

Are federal workers somehow different from other workers? Yes! They chose a career serving the public. Working to make people's lives better. Decades of anti-gvt propaganda have demeaned and dehumanized public employees. That;s how we got here. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A former senior KGB spy chief says Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.
