I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Wilford Woodruff said WHAT?!

This might be the most cynical ploy I've seen from RFK Jr. There are people who are, actually, genuinely, injured by a vaccine (e.g. they get Guillain-Barré Syndrome), this would deplete the vaccine injury compensation fund so there wouldn't be any money for those people.

If you live in Utah, you already know what festering bigot is behind this.

Man, what

I was supposed to get some shit done tonight but then I got really mad.

These EOs are designed to make a lot of scary noise to scare you into submission and make you be quiet. Don't be quiet

IMO, the bad thing about this is that they WANT to do it, and that's the message that needs to be getting air.

Looking forward to a 6-3 ruling against the concept of linear flow of time.

So we get Trump doing bizarre unpopular things that are over-each, and then he still defaults back to tariffs to distract?!! its fucking unpopularism and anyone who describes it differently is lying to you

These are two very different but funny images. People like to make memes of them. None of the memes or remixes are funny at all.

very cool that the Vice President and FBI Director are blasting this stuff to millions of Americans within hours of a shooting

Stephen Miller thinks he has found a cheat code that will allow him to put any Democrat in jail for life.

Apparently some people really think every day in every college class is like a scene from what I imagine happens in God’s Not Dead.

Anyone who thinks that we as university faculty have this level of control over our students is cordially invited to guest teach in one of my lecture classes.

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital. “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

In a personalist regime, your business (tariffs) or your life (Comey, ICE) can be upended at a moment's notice at the whim of the authoritarian leader

begging CNN to release the footage of experts being asked this question

i have it on good authority (from two people who have personally met him) that he regularly and personally "steals valor" w/r/t his own participation in atrocities

Keep your nose clean, keep speaking out, & rely on your fellow citizens to ensure this can't stop us from exercising our inalienable rights as people & as citizens. If they insist on testing the bounds of their power, it is our responsibility to demonstrate the law is against them.

Gundam is incredible wow

God this guy is evil

There are a few books that cause the scales to fall instantly from your eyes while you're reading, "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" is one of those books.

What you have to understand is the Donald Trump presidency is just a distraction from the Donald Trump presidency

This is not, unfortunately, some Elliott Smith unreleased track. Very cruel of Tidal to do this to me.

This is simultaneously an autocratic escalation and an incredibly dumb move that will blow up in their faces

DC is plurality black and 1 in 7 residents are immigrants

Everyone in this administration thinks they’re the hero of a shitty action movie and gets confused when the credits never roll

The world's most expensive game of Boar on the Floor.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

No one is safe in ICE custody. No one is safe from ICE/ICE cosplay abduction.

once again trump’s great political asset is that voters literally do not believe anything he says

The reason Trump won is that people like this actually refused to believe his own words, substituting their own fanfic Trump instead bsky.app/profile/shar...

Thank you for this! I haven't seen it in decades but remember it so clearly. Love it! This is another fave: youtu.be/sUFsqgohGeA?...

I haven’t seen or thought about this in decades, but I recognized it instantly. Thanks for sharing!

Whewwww

everybody hates these guys, their ideas are stupid, and you do not have to fall into the trap of assuming trump’s win says anything meaningful about what americans actually want. for instance, americans actually don’t want to ban vaccines. they want this guy banished to a desert island

I don’t think it’s this one, but I like any excuse I can get to post this youtu.be/0-3jSTs2Zsw?...

Pretty fucked up that Sinclair tried to force Kimmel to donate to an organization that Kimmel no doubt considers contradictory to his own values and beliefs.

Something I think about sometimes is just how pissed off I'm going to feel when, 40 years from now, it becomes the consensus wisdom of our entire culture that a certain historical event played out a certain way when I know for a fact it didn't.

There’s no mooring anymore to reality. They just lie constantly about everything. Like, even 10 years ago, the idea that a cabinet member would accuse the other party of supporting terrorists would be unfathomable. This is like the John Birch Society as an administration. Just completely insane.

The Trump party line is that everyone to the left of Stephen Miller, or anyone who disagrees with Donald Trump in almost any way, is the “far left,” and it’d be swell if people and institutions didn’t accept this lunatic framing.

on the first day of rosh hashana, rabbi sharon brous delivered one of the most intense sermons i've ever heard at a synagogue. the sun has set, so according to jewish tradition the sermon may now be posted ikar.org/events/if-th...

This is an article about how poverty increased when Republicans took control of the House in 2022, but Jacobin is staffed by inept liars.

Yes, this is why the “they’re not groyper” fixation also misses the target because it is only a technicality. This *is* postmodern fascism at its heart. 20th century fascism was a result of industrial capitalism meeting nationalism while this the result of consumerism meeting racialized nihilism.

thinking about this screenshot from Columbo that makes it look like a 90s point-and-click adventure game

yeah man great optics. just keep standing in front of that armored van that you're using to disappear people and say the word 'Nazi' as many times as possible.

the first admin certainly had some of this, but this time around, it’s just this fucking whiny crybaby bitch shit from every member of the cabinet all goddamned day long. fucking loser ass presidency.
