Framing this article around "eating less kebabs" is really strange... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Trump budget has passed in the House of Representatives: 💸$4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1% + corporations 🪖more money for war + mass deportations 🚑$2 trillion in cuts to programs like Medicaid + food stamps This is a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the uber-elite.

“The privilege of asking Trump the first question was bestowed upon none other than nepo boyfriend Brian Glenn, a “journalist” at the far-right propaganda peddler Real America’s Voice, who’s currently dating Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). “ I hate this timeline

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. ProPublica has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names we've just added.

A potential Elon Musk "monopoly" over Australian telecommunication networks over a de facto requirement to use Starlink has senators worried, report @cameronwilson.bsky.social and Anton Nilsson.

We've spent years discussing this issue, CVE and police and state deradicalisation programs do not work. We're relieved that desperate families of radicalised people are finally being heard. They need early intervention and community-based support. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Struggling with the concept of ‘not guilty’

Bridget McKenzie, Moira Deeming and key News Corp figures to attend Jordan Peterson’s ‘civilisation’ conference

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us. gizmodo.com/cdc-ordered-...

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Part of the spectacle of this is to normalize dehumanization of the other and state violence against them.

How can you sanction a country you can't even spell.
