this is where the analogy to Brexit is really useful. A similar attitude that the US is completely self-sufficient and needs nothing from anyone. Too bad a lot of innocent people are gonna find out the hard way that this isn’t true.

Harriet Hageman got booed to oblivion last night in her own town hall for pumping up Doge so hard that even her loyal suckers woke up and smelled the bullshit—about five months too late!

NEW: In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term. It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism, our editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social writes.

Please boycott my country and tell US airlines that you won’t waste money on a ticket to nowhere. Make the airlines lobby the administration to end this fascist madness. They will scream loudly when their lucrative international revenue dries up.

The Navajo Code Talkers were true American heroes whose unbreakable code helped the United States and Allies win WWII and saved countless lives. The Trump administration erased their story from all military websites. How is that making America great? 🤔

Coyote Vs Acme lives! Deadline just revealed that Warner Bros has started talks to sell the film to Ketchup Entertainment, the studio that released The Day the Earth Blew Up. I never thought we'd see the day but I am so happy! Hope this actually manages to get out!

Aside from everything else, no one in this cabal of halfwits has read a single history book. Abrogating rule of law ends badly for everyone. The reason you play by the rules even though they constrain your power is that they give you legitimacy and prevent Wikipedia sections like "The Terror"

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

Today, 55 years ago, the Great Postal Strike of 1970 began. Thousands of NYC postal workers walked off of the job and hundreds of thousands later followed suit around the country. Let's honor this pivotal moment in our history as we defend what they fought so hard to earn.

"But I'm a citizen," you say. "This doesn't apply to me." It's a pretty short step from deporting lawful residents without due process to "show me your papers, you don't LOOK like a real American to ME" on the street.
