Jason Stanley isn’t afraid to use the F-word when talking about President Donald Trump. The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the US is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.

❌ Russia loses 1,170 soldiers over past day

So by this token, we need to find a popular progressive celebrity who appeals to the reality-TV crowd to run for president, and they’ll be unbeatable

About once a year/once every other year The Economist does an aggressively racist/anti-Black edition and it's like everyone forgets in the interim. They get away with it because the no byline thing means you can't rage against a person.

This is literally straight Ratzellian Hitlerism

Can Ramaswamy's gubernatorial candidacy torpedo the Senate special election race? 🤔

Closing my eyes and putting my finger to my temple like Professor X: I sense...the vibes have shifted

There will never be justice, there is no path to restoration. They have destroyed too much and no punishment or apology will change that. There MIGHT be a path to accountability, but we will have to push militantly for that. But: there will be a thirst. It might happen.

It would be cool if the Dem's asked their donors to open their pockets and help them feed people instead of just whinging about it on social media. Ordinary people are doing more than the party that supposedly cares about its constituents. Get creative. People are hungry.

Yes

Eventually this shit is going to break through into public consciousness. Lying about percentage decreases is one thing, but straight denying the prices that get posted in bright lights on giant signs littering every major roadway is not gonna fly forever

He's such a piece of shit and he absolutely understands how popular power works in a way that most white dudes really simply don't

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

Trump looks exhausted and disheveled

Q: A federal judge ruled that the administration has to fully fund SNAP. DOJ said they're gonna appeal. What's your message to folks as we're headed to Thanksgiving? TRUMP: *looks at JD Vance* you wanna gowithater

"The cost of all this success was a short, transitory burst of moderate inflation...& then the burst...stopped cold. It was over after the middle of 2022." "I characterize 2024 as...a worldwide failure to break the misinformation system..." All. Of. This. In re: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Trump on food stamp recipients: "It wasn't meant for people that could do whatever they want. The people that say, 'Well, I don't think I'll work. I'll just collect this money.'"

Simply put, none of this is true. In tomorrow's column I note the average price of gas is more than $3/gallon, not close to $2, but whatever. And the Walmart Thanksgiving thing has already been repeatedly debunked. This is a rambling loon living in a made-up world where others tell him fake things.

“The entire argument of Donald Trump, and Bukele, and the El Salvadorian government right now is built on a lie.” Senator Chris Van Hollen tells @johnjharwood.bsky.social about his fight to bring home Kilmar Ábrego García after he was illegally deported to El Salvador. zeteo.com/p/tell-me-wh...

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion. Trump refuses to spend it on the American people. The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina. Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

One person with a laptop can now do what took a company 20 years ago. Unfortunately, that one person is launching 47 mediocre SaaS products and a crypto scam.

About a decade ago, there was research claiming that faces could provide insight on athletic performance. But, it was highly flawed on multiple levels. So, we debunked it: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

this has been one of my central arguments the past ten years. the theory underpinning the anti-democratic elements of the american constitutional order is wrong!

Very much reminiscent of what I see regularly from toddlers when their routine is unexpectedly disrupted

institutional investors really need to start planning to divest from this company, if the consumer rubes want to pay him a trillion dollars to keep driving the company into the ground, let them drown

Filling your social media feed with Deep Fake videos of yourself is a pretty good way to invite people to make other Deep Fake videos with content you don't like. C'mon Internet ... do your thing.

i haven't heard back from portnoy yet, but here's an update from @defector.com: "When reached for comment Thursday, Portnoy declined to say whether he'd follow through on his company relocation plans, but sent this instead: 'Suck my cock Samer'"

This photo was taken earlier today in the Oval Office after a drug-company executive fainted during an announcement about weight-loss drugs, and it's hilarious to me that Getty's description of the moment is "Trump looks on"

the future of electric vehicles is e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, electric vans, and small, shared affordable cars this also has a carbon footprint as large as an internal combustion engine SUV. this was greenwashing that was always going to fail - even before the massive subsidies were eliminated.

Automated calipers are, of course, big tech's end game.

Sandwich man leaving court

Pulitzer Prize photo right here.

if it'd been a full Muffaletta they maybe would have a case

Incredible that multiple juries have found sandwich hurling to be comically not assault

impossible to express how humiliating it is to actually take this to court as the border patrol agent who got hit with a sandwich IN his bullet-proof vest. oh i'm sorry, it wasn't a sandwich-proof vest?

Jury finds sandwich guy was actually a hero.

if you can't handle journalists asking clarifying follow up questions you have no business managing reporters. go run a dick's sporting goods

The case just didn’t cut the mustard.

Brb, about to get one of those t-shirt cannons and start shelling ICE with 5 dollar footlongs.

Novo Nordisk exec Gordon Findlay (by reports) had just collapsed in the Oval Office. Trump stands there waiting for this annoyance to pass.

The Secretary of Health walked away.

“There's no ability to allow Palestinians to go back to any semblance of a dignified life” in Gaza, says Tareq Baconi, Palestinian analyst and writer. “The narrative is of a ceasefire. The reality is of the continuation of the genocide.”

This article is a really, really stunning example of how wind power is received in Norway. A proposed wind farm site right next to a massive highway and industrial area is being opposed on the grounds that it 'destroys nature' and is too noisy 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

this is just statistical error and is because Adipose Georg, who lives in cave & loses 100 billion pounds, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
