Imagine being too far-right and Nazi-like for the French far-right: "French far-right leader cancels US speech after ex Trump aide Bannon appeared to make 'Nazi gesture'"

Worst. Episode. EVER.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I know no one cares but for some reason I feel like saying that I liked the Kendrick Lamar halftime show—instantly, unreservedly—and was totally mystified when I went online and found out that many didn't like it Serious question: did my fellow Blueskies not like it also? Split opinion? Share mine?

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Happy Black History Month

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Someone solved the internet.

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

Note that Bannon and Musk represent opposite sides of the US far right (Traditionalist populism vs technocracy). The fascist salutes aren't coming one faction of the "Conservative" movement, this is now a powerful cross section of its leadership.

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

Side eyes all the huge blue maga lib accounts who have been making memes that Bannon is an ally cause he hates Musk. 😐

Republican rep getting shouted down by his own constituents at a townhall in a deep red R+30 district is something.

They are Nazis and they are sieg heiling and I am so beyond done with everyone who is pretending like they all suffer some weird involuntary spasm that causes spontaneous Roman salutes

It’s almost like these people were in the MCU Blip during Trump’s *first* term.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

he's gonna OD in the next three years

Make Nazis afraid to salute in public again

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

What i don’t get is the number of people who still believe the ridiculous idea that this multiple-time bankrupt terrible buisness laughing stock was ever good at running a company. He killed every company he ran! The Apprentice TV show has so much to answer for.

Can you say Sturmabteilung? I knew you could! Elon's own private Brownshirts! Woohoo!

83% (!!!) of Americans oppose Trump pardoning violent Jan. 6 rioters, according to a new WaPo/Ipsos poll.

in other news, an armed man used an AR-15 in a provocative manner at a local grocery store

What I fear is going to happen is that Trump will be unpopular, we’ll get some sort of weird capital controlled stasis, and what we have lost in the past month plus will never get rebuilt. Just like a new normal of austerity and hollowed state capacity. It’s imperative to deliver a real defeat.

Just as we warned, Brendan Carr is establishing himself as America's top censor, and he's not being shy about it. And a hearty "fuck you" to anyone who insisted Carr was a "free speech warrior."

this person said it so good so here it is

Musk absolutely wants to make it to illegal to criticize his shit-box products in the U.S., too - this woman in China was forced to pay TESLA after faulty brakes almost killed her family. Stop the rabid dog. apnews.com/article/tesl...

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

Ah shit it turns out the problem with conservatism is that conservatives are all evil

you know we’re down bad when americans care about hockey

Being a fucking idiot has consequences. Unfortunately, they’re for everybody.
