Yup. I was there tonight. When I confronted one about them ignoring Republicans in NYC, and not protesting them, he was suddenly silent. I am tired of performative nonsense.

Now is sabotage really the right word for “escalator temporarily was stairs?” (h/t mitch hedberg)

It doesn't matter who gets killed, it doesn't matter what the circumstances are, the Right is going to use it for their own purposes. If this isn't obvious by now you're choosing to be obtuse.

Loud public demands for prosecutions of crimes like these in the future is a crucial part of stopping them. Even the Nazis worried about questions of legality. We know this because they explicitly exempted the Wehrmacht from criminal law in writing and in advance.

this insane space plutocrat was in charge of the whole government for like six months, probably killed a lot of people worldwide, compromised essentially everyone’s security, and made everything infinitely shoddier but no less expensive. And he is the guy who’s supposed to take us back to the moon.

New book day! Looking forward to reading this, @blbalthaser.bsky.social. 🗃️

A subcategory of “They cruelty is the point” is “Women should suffer more.” Here it’s acetaminophen, but anything they can do to make pregnancy more unpleasant, risky, and dangerous, you can bet they are working on it.

A repost: The line between American chaos and America greatness is a thin blue & yellow line running through Ukraine We can’t “good luck to all” Ukraine. It’s our fight, and can help us see what needs to be done at home, too. www.greatpower.us/p/thin-blue-...

All the Jews have to die or convert to trigger the rapture. Then our dead bodies surround Jerusalem and they climb over us to reach Jesus, who will bring them to heaven. It’s why they’re all Zionists obsessed with Israel. Cause they need Jews to go there so we can die. bsky.app/profile/jeff...

Keep in mind that people held in Alligator Alcatraz had been denied due process and in many cases didn’t have access to attorneys. It is possible that some of the people who have likely been flown overseas were detained by mistake, or are U.S. citizens.

European parliament committee refuses to lift immunity for Hungarian opposition leader, preventing Orban government from prosecuting him

Where’s the O Henry-style twist?

Colby Hall writing with reverence about a white-suited nazi wife is the emetic I needed. "[T]here is a different kind of opportunity... [T]o choose the harder path — the one Erika Kirk chose when she forgave the man who murdered her husband, an act of public grace that stunned even the cynical."

Trump has always had good sound-bite instincts, and that’s what he’s doing here. None of this is for the UN. Just cable news and Facebook. At the beginning of this clip he says in his usual fake candid way, “I’ll be very badly criticized for saying it but I don’t care. I’m here to tell the truth.”

This is so cool.

If the Dem party is ever going to get serious, it needs to excommunicate Bill Clinton and publicly explain why.

What if we had a big gofundme to cover the cost of medical bills for everyone, plus pay for some science, teachers, etc. We could call it civilization or something.

Gut yontif to all my fellow MOT.

Disney executive: "Sir, we're getting hammered by this Kimmel thing. Our subscription revenue has been reduced. Disney adults are talking people out of going to our parks. What should we do?" Bob Iger: "Send in the kid." DE: "But sir, we..." BI: "The kid. Now." youtu.be/_pa1KLXuW0Y?...

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Earthquake !

And by the way, almost every single Neo-Nazi I track on a daily basis believes strongly that Tucker was talking about Jews. Message received.

A lot of the disruptive business model is “existing thing minus responsibility.” E-commerce initially was retail-taxes. Crypto is banking-regs. And some people want to do pharma without R&D, clinical testing, peer review, or impartial approval process. Antivax and wellness is just their marketing.

I am glad my grandparents aren’t alive to see this.

By "thugs" and "paid agitators" Trump means Black people hired by Jewish people.

Please, please read what Annika Brockschmidt and other experts are saying about this stuff. (her thread follows the post below) If you're not steeped in understanding white christian nationalism, it merely seems weird. And it is, but there's so much more to it.

Enjoyed some of the programming and movies, but 25 Reichsmarks per month is just too high with all the inflation going on these days.

It’s been studied, it’s been settled. It’s safe. But how unsurprising that this group of men thinks women don’t already suffer enough.

Oh come the fuck on do we really have to do this deicide thing again? And how long until they say the shooter recently converted to Judaism in his attic?

This is an extremely racist segment of an extremely racist speech. It's also unironically antisemitic. Framing it in the 2nd person makes it seem like Miller's just threatening, but really he's shouting the white supremacist lie that white christians alone deserve credit for civilization.

The presidential historian the NYT quotes as an authority can’t correctly recall what happened five years ago.

that's exactly right. the way to prevent people from hearing bad news is to present the information from being gathered in the first place. expect to see this with any and all routine government reporting and statistics. if challenged, they'll say it was always biased to make trump look bad.

He absolutely studies films of Nazis giving speeches.

I never really liked how often American white Christian nationalism is compared to other countries like Germany or what have you because this is very old and very standard Klan speak.

If only we had a word in the English language that meant “the fusion of government and Christianity,” it could have been used for this headline.

Would be so cool to hear Adams’s Harmonielehre for the first time again.

Here’s the thing. Trump has antisocial personality disorder. He isn’t really able to understand other people’s feelings and he cannot care about anyone else in a meaningful way. This is just how he would be with anyone who has died, as long as he doesn’t see a need to fake it.

Nap trapped and left arm seems to have lost most sensation. It’s a high price to pay but a necessary one.

Btw Hitler owned the primary Nazi newspaper, the Völkischer Beobachter, from 1921 to 1945. It had been banned for about a year following his Jan 6, the beer hall putsch. This clip is from Feb 9, 1933, 10 days after he became chancellor. The reichstag fire hadn’t happened yet.

Laying groundwork for beatification and eventual sainthood.

Let’s say it clearly for the pundits in the back: MAGA does not want to be friends with you. They don’t want to coexist peacefully and equally. Their guiding ideology is that might makes right. They want to conquer. They want to eliminate some people entirely and dominate the rest.

The only people who believe the "just engage because all the republicans want is to be heard and taken seriously" spiel are the privileged centrist white guys saying it. Renowned sack of garbage Matt Gaetz (!!) attacked Newsom's podcast with Charlie Kirk as "like Jane Goodall watching The Apes."

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Nailed it @chrismsanders77.bsky.social

there is a point here i want to amplify. the free speech defenders of the mainstream seem to have no awareness that actual free speech is often more fractious and destabilizing than civil and respectful. a society where speech is genuinely free isn’t the deferential space they want it to be.

ultimately what they want isn't the free speech of a fractious society, but the norms of an academic cocktail party--where any topic is fair game, so long as we all admit it kind of doesn't matter and this is just a little post-dinner diversion we're engaged in

And no, this doesn’t mean Disney is a utopia of accessibility or free of ableism. But the bar is on the fucking floor, and Disney parks make a consistent effort to leap over it when everyone else trips and faceplants.

Because many of them are disabled. Disney is one of the most profoundly accessible & accepting places for disabled people to vacation. In an inaccessible and hostile world, that creates super fans. But disability communities understand oppression intimately. And fight like hell for a better world.

The more I think about this graf, the more I’m irritated by it. This is a pitch for politics without ideology. What they call purity, I call a moral compass. What they call fear, I call acknowledging that the right are fascists and they want to eliminate opposition.

Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to “hear out” or “find commonalities” with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why that’s not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.
