The new National Security Strategy of the U.S. contains some pretty explicit white nationalism: “We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity.”

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

The Roberts Court has completely delegitimized the Supreme Court. In a democracy, the people get to decide what is constitutional—not a cadre of unelected Republican operatives. This Supreme Court acts as if the people are irrelevant and they can say the constitution means anything MAGA needs.

It’s so funny that the American version of state media is led by someone from an outlet called “The Free Press.”

Antisemitism is an enormous and growing problem is America—and it’s mostly coming from MAGA.

A real hahah, yes to what the fuck arch

Donald Trump is a rapist, a pedophile, a criminal, and an insurrectionist. He is trying to overturn the constitution and take our freedom. He is one of the worst Americans in all of history. Americans like @ilhanmn.bsky.social are what make this country worth fighting for.

The whole play of Trumpism: convincing working class people to blame other working class people—so billionaires can keep robbing us all.

The armed services are currently led by an alcoholic white nationalist who is murdering foreign civilians without a fig-leaf of congressional approval. If we had an opposition party, they would be calling for his immediate removal from office and seeking to impeach him.

J-MART: ".. he’s turned the office into an adult fantasy camp .. brazen corruption, near-daily vulgarity and handing out pardons like lollipops .. ".. the country has never seen such an indulgent head of state." @politico.com www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Yes, it’s like if the Third Reich modeled itself not after Rome but the Brady Bunch

American fascism is hilarious; it’s politics as aesthetics, but the aesthetics are ass.

Everyday now I see five things that in a normal time would make me want to leave the country or this earth and then I just turn around and go about my life

Just today, Jeffries has praised Trump on his signature issue, and excused a pardon Trump handed to a corrupt Democrat. He couldn’t be less up to the moment if he tried.

No floor, all kneeling

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with: - Lifetime terms for high court judges - An electoral college for choosing an executive - A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities - 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing

they're all still on his nazi propaganda website

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

Wow, Bari Weiss is going to be SO mad when she finds out about this. I know how deeply and earnestly she cares about Free Speech on Campus!

Anything can happen, of course, but I think absent some kind of unforeseen external event Trump is pretty cooked. His only real move is increasing repression against his political opponents, but the potential for that to fail or backfire increases the weaker he gets. He's a lame duck.

The interesting thing about the TN-07 vote is that Van Epps doesn’t seem like a terrible candidate—the 15 point swing in favor of Democrats isn’t primarily a candidate effect. If 2026 is anything close to a +15 environment for Democrats, it’s going to be the biggest wave election in a long time.

Ds don't seem to be getting what they need out of Nashville. But if the margin lands at R+3, that's a D+19 shift from 2024 -- we're not talking a wave, we're talking tsunami

No, next question

love when non-Jews accuse Jews of being too stupid to... support Israel's genocide

Trump is claiming most of the presidential pardons which Biden issued are not legitimate. That’s an awfully interesting stance for a guy who is counting on pardoning lots of his cronies for crimes they commit together. If I was one of said cronies, I’d be thinking about this precedent!

The fog of what now? When did the United States Congress declare war on Venezuelan fishermen?

I love that even Hegseth’s placard is slurring.

🚨new article🚨 "Polarisation" has become one of those terms commonly used to discuss the dire state of politics and democracy today Here @juanroch.bsky.social, @daniel-balinhas.bsky.social and I argue that this simplistic framing is counterproductive 🧵Thread🧵 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This is the logical endpoint of Trump-ism: telling people their inability to afford groceries is a lie.

Elon Musk's AI bot says it would kill every Jewish person on earth to save Elon Musk. We talk so much about antisemitism, but somehow it's not considered antisemitic to use Elon Musk's apps.

I hope Hegseth is googling "bars in The Hague" tonight.

I'm so grateful for Kelly's leadership on this and I think he's doing a good job keeping up the pressure on Trump. But, Democrats always say things like "Trump doesn't understand the constitution" when they should say "Trump opposes the constitution."

Every sentence here is even crazier than the last.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do. If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections. www.axios.com/2025/12/01/j...

Government actors who refuse to be bound by the rule of law are not morally entitled to its protection.

The Trump regime isn't a presidential administration--it's a heist operation. The most corrupt president in American history and it's not even close.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

All joking aside, parliamentary systems (in which there is a Prime Minister who is elected by the legislature) perform better on many metrics than presidential systems like ours. If we were to rewrite the constitution today, we should have a Prime Minister, not a president.

Your Party's launch makes me think about how differently the last ten years of British politics could have gone if John McDonnell had run for Labor party leader in 2015.

When a president tries to change a democracy into an authoritarian regime, it's an inherently precarious position. Trump has been acting as if he had consolidated a hybrid regime, but the truth of the matter is that he hasn't. Now that Republicans smell weakness, they're openly opposing him.

“Democratic leader’s proposed alternative to MAGA comes from a venture capitalist’s book title” is so on the nose it sounds made up. These people have anti-juice. It’s been years since they’ve had a normal conversation with a normal person. They can’t remember what it’s like. They’re so cooked.

I'm really glad to see someone like Kelly finally saying this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I think about this tweet a lot

Wow, Bari Weiss is going to be SO mad when she finds out about this!

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

MAGA stands for freedom of speech (with the exception of journalists, elected members of the opposition party, former administration officials, anti-fascists, students, librarians, scientists, federal civil servants, immigrants, and any US citizen who criticizes their lord and savior Donald Trump).

If Trump does go through with his threatened invasion of Venezuela without Congressional approval, that should absolutely be grounds for immediate impeachment proceedings. We would need mass, popular mobilization calling for his removal from office. It has to be a red line.

It's nice being verified again, so people can tell for sure that I'm genuinely a moron (no imitators allowed). 💪

My new Intercept piece on the NYPD’s targeting of MLK is up today, with never-before-published police surveillance photos of King.
