Elon’s AfD falls flat in Germany.

Absolutely inspirational work from Cambridge, Massachusetts here! They are instantly leaping from one of the most exclusionary zoning codes in America to a code that plants them firmly at the vanguard of housing abundance

Whatever happens with German elections today, I thank Olaf for all he has done to help me to stay in this war for this long. His escalation management delays & drip feeding made the difference.

40 minutes until the end of #Caturday means it's still #Caturday.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

another Nazi salute at CPAC

Front page of today’s NY Post

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Greetings, @georgetakei.bsky.social, This morning it occurred to me, "What happened to everyone's dog, cat, parakeet, goldfish . . .?" densho.org/catalyst/pet....

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

It’s a cult.

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

Elon Musk and Steve Bannon don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things but they both like giving the Nazi salute before MAGA crowds.

Hey look, I found my old banner with the SPLCenter's Spring 2016 "Year in Hate and Extremism" cover. Feel free to download.

OTD in 2014 we sent masked soldiers to occupy Crimea 2014 “they’re not Russian soldiers but local militias. Russia has nothing to do with them” 2015 “They were not Russian soldiers but we “stood behind them” Later 2015 “They were Russian soldiers" But we are not lying this time

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

I’m starting to appreciate this painting more.

One year ago today Navalny was killed. Trump won't express outrage. He'll ask how we did it.

"Mr. Trump [has] carried out a campaign of revenge and retribution that has little analogue in American history." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

Good news, everyone! You get to do whatever you want! As long as you say you were trying to save the country, it’s all legal now.

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania successfully synchronised their electricity systems with the European energy network today. This is a key milestone for the Baltic States and for Europe strengthening energy resilience and independence across the region. ⚡️

Judge Halts Access to Treasury Payment Systems by Elon Musk’s Team www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/n...

Nineteen state attorneys general sued the Trump administration after the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) was given access.

Members of Congress were just denied entry to the Department of Treasury. This is a 5 alarm fire.

The Athenians banished their war hero, Themistocles, because he became too preeminent & they perceived him to be a threat to democracy.

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

Never enough pillows. #Caturday

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

One of the first steps of gangster authoritarians is to coopt the prosecutors.

The American Airlines jet that collided with an Army helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River on Wednesday night was carrying a group of elite young figure skaters, their parents, and coaches. RIP to all the innocent souls lost in this horrible tragedy. www.yahoo.com/news/youth-f...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
