Hegseth and Trump are abusing their positions to punish Mark Kelly for telling a truth they did not like. It is an attack on the First Amendment and makes government lose credibility.

2 things abt Trump's motivations for defiling the Kennedy Center with his name are defining characteristics of the rich & powerful: 1. above all, they want to be liked & respected 2. they are terrified of death They want $ & power mainly to buy likes & escape mortality for as long as possible.

"I defected from a totalitarian regime, and like hell am I going to be cowed again," & "I'm pissed off as hell about people capitulating to Trump" She warns that people voting for such leaders are choosing "the same ball of wax" she fled, where figures dictate life, rights, & feelings. Thread 1/5🧵

We lost a what, now?

Trump's complete destruction of the East Wing of the White House has turned into a fucking nightmare for the loathsome piece of shit. This is the People's House, not his. The motherfucker had no right to do this. 😳👇

How long before he bans women reporters from the Oval Office is my question

If you want a primer on the Network State, I spent some time with a group hoping to make one this summer: www.wired.com/story/tech-b...

Tech Billionaires Are Starting Private Cities to Escape the United States “In October, former Coinbase chief technology officer Balaji Srinivasan shared his vision for the ‘ultimate exit’ by tech industry elites from the ‘failing’ United States.” futurism.com/future-socie...

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family. No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

Trump will die before the full realization of American fascism is reached. These are the birth pangs. It will get so much worse unless we do something. We should and we must. Take stock of what this feels like, how unacceptable this is. Devote yourself to fighting it.

This little post sparked headlines around the world. Thanks for blowing it up to global proportions! Joe Lonsdale is now the "Public Hangings Palantir" guy. Strangely, he seems to have moved on from the topic...at the peak of public attention. Guess he didn't think it through.

“How billionaires took over American politics” The concentration of wealth among the richest Americans is unlike anything in history — and so is billionaires’ influence in politics. The USA has over 342 million people. Only 902 billionaires. It's when we say it's over. 🎁 link wapo.st/4rG7WHH

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Whether or not this case takes us another mile toward an oligarchic free-for-all, we’re already in the bad place.

🧵I'll say it again: This is a huge step towards state-run media. What is unfolding between Paramount and Warner Bros. is not just another corporate merger. It is a full-blown power grab led by Jared Kushner and Saudi investors who are now bankrolling the takeover.

A +12 Trump district covering Oconee and Athens-Clarke counties (UGA and very conservative county neighboring it) flips.

I’ve seen the Trump Administration do many terrible things, but this one is a first. They wrongfully deported a 19-year-old Austin constituent in shackles. When she spoke out, armed ICE agents were sent in an unmarked van to threaten her parents. (1/2) youtube.com/shorts/mgYyo...

Left unchecked, they will bring back eugenics and slavery

All Trump and MAGA have left in the wake of his crumbling economic policies and numerous scandals is white supremacy and hate. That's it. Nothing else. And America is rejecting it.

”X is a toxic media platform & (...) its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse,” news media The Guardian said in a statement announcing it would no longer be posting on the platform. Leave X Now #DeleteYourXAccount #BoycottTesla #Musskolini Thread 1/4🧵

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year. It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOo...

If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control: Paramount Studios CBS CNN MTV HBO Comedy Central Nickelodeon Cartoon Network Warner Bros. DC Studios Fandango New Line Cinema TNT Sports TBS Oracle And more.

Today is the 4 year anniversary of our first union victory! Since then, we've won over 650 union elections. It's been 4 years without a contract, and 4 years of union busting. That's why we're on day 26 of our national ULP strike - and we won't back down. www.cnn.com/2025/12/09/b...

Key thing to remember is: They want these fascist fortress cities because *they believe existing nations are going to collapse* These are escape hatches for a post-democracy world they seek to create. I would argue that they have gotten much farther than they should have. See: DOGE, crypto, etc

These days, it's notable whenever a major media company ignores Trump's pressure and stands with talent. So let's note that Disney has renewed Jimmy Kimmel's contract for another year

New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

This is the best analysis I’ve read about Trump’s alignment with Putin, and the future for Ukraine and Europe And it accords with my optimism. On the ground, Ukraine and Europe can resist the globalist oligarchs arthursnell.substack.com/p/americas-w...

Musk and Trump hate the EU for the same reasons Farage and Putin hate it. It stands for civil rights, the rule of law, and regulation of oligarchs

"President Donald Trump’s lawyer argued on Monday for far-reaching power that would go well beyond his ability to fire officials at the Federal Trade Commission and other independent agencies," Joan Biskupic writes.

The CEO of Paramount reportedly offered to make changes to President Donald Trump’s least favorite news network.

Michael Anton is a dedicated fascist and leading light of the dark enlightenment. He also leaves snarky reviews on fashion websites. I guess he’s in charge of our foreign policy now. Which means, among other things, that our government is being run by exactly the kind of bureaucrat that he despises.

“The president knows he is failing, and so he is reverting to what he knows best: trying to divert attention by stoking bigotry.”

It's a bit of a whitewash that erases the utter extremism of men like Balaji Srinivasan (the guy who wants the tech "gray tribe" to purge Democratic "blue tribe"). But it shows the mainstream press can no longer ignore the reality of the Network State cult. www.ft.com/content/b127...
