From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

RIP Jane Goodall, by all accounts a wonderful woman who loved this Far Side cartoon

do it. bring in joe kelly.

Government shutdowns like the one about to happen in the USA do not occur in Canada. Our parliamentary system has a fail-safe to ensure civil service continues even if there is no budget. If the ruling party cannot pass a budget, the government falls triggering an immediate election.

"Avoiding politics" during the normalization of fascism is to side with fascism.

America is now North Korea with better entertainment.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

1) This is some pretty remarkable shade thrown at the big AI companies by a startup that's hiring away their researchers 2) That those researchers are giving up millions to do this indicates a rising level of discomfort with OpenAI/Meta/Google/etc's moral standing www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/t...

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

I have family in South Shore, this is terrifying

I'm with Crash Davis. "Strikeouts are boring. Besides that, they’re fascist. Throw some ground balls. It’s more democratic.” #mlb #playoffs

people were worried about a behind the scenes loyalty test and once again they get around outrage by just doing the thing right out in the open

Bring on the war crimes

Most interesting part of the speech—a familiar MAGA tirade—was the audience reaction. Didn’t hear a single person applaud. Generals and admirals sat silently during this political lecture from a former National Guard captain. The right reaction.

Black people actually did call all of this, so did Indigenous people. White people just thought we were exaggerating because you were fine with the violence toward communities that you thought wouldn't include you. But the thru line from eugenics, bleach, and Ivermectin to here was incredibly clear

Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

Having Notely there tells me all I need to now. McPherson looks like another neoliberal that will ignore the climate crisis.

I dunno. I have some reservations. To whit: bsky.app/profile/proc...

I wonder if part of the reason is that not even mainstream media will speak that way. This is from a Guardian story about Stephen Miller ordering US strikes on foreign boats in international waters with no justification:

🇲🇩 Moldova, you’ve done it again. 
No attempt to sow fear or division could break your resolve. You made your choice clear: 
Europe. Democracy. Freedom. Our door is open. And we will stand with you every step of the way.
 The future is yours.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Wow. Unacceptable behaviour by US fans at a sporting event. The world is left wondering how safe the World Cup and/or the Olympics will be for athletes and their families. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation. She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

Land of the free. Home of the brave. That you, America?

This is the first regular season without a no-hitter since there were none in 2005

Trump is reportedly set to attend Tuesday’s gathering of top U.S. military leaders. Imagine being a four-star general and being forced to sit through a “warrior ethos” lecture by Pete Hegseth and then possibly fired by an orange-coated draft dodger.

My dearest wife, I write to you from the front lines of Whole Foods where the kombucha supplies are running low and cappuccinos are now few and far between. I fear we shall never survive such calamity. The enemy has occupied Claire's and Hot Topic as we hold fast near Arby's and pray.

Geesh. Man up, boys. “I’m very disheartened by the shortage of quality men,” she added. “Men my age are less educated, their social skills are abysmal, and now they’re running into the arms of Trump and ‘incel’ forums.” www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Suddenly: tremendous amount of gas and pepper balls fill the road. People running, canisters exploding.

I would like to see Pritzker doing more, honestly—like, it would be good if he went to the detention center himself along with his own security forces and dared ICE to tear gas him, I think.

Per witness, Steve was filming an arrest when feds knocked a group of people backwards and grabbed him. She says it appeared targeted to her since he had been filming CBP interaction with the protester from start to finish.
