MAGA: not isolationism or nation-building but a secret third thing (organized crime)

i don't have the inner reserves to really sit with the million seriously concerning things that are happening at this particular moment, but i did find this article extremely hilarious www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/n...

i don't do voice to text but i do sometimes do the slightly more chaotic thing of saying out loud what i'm typing as i'm typing 🤪

[laughs in astrology] ♄ ☌ ♆

thing is it doesn't really matter if he went to the island, cause we can all read the email where he says he not only wants to go but wants to time it for one of epstein's "wildest parties" maybe he didn't end up making it for whatever reason - he's still unfathomably grotesque

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

unbelievable but entirely believable 🤬

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

wtf

This is a direct assault on the First Amendment by the Trump administration www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

the moral arc of the valley is deep, but it bends toward uncanny

shadiest shit i've ever seen saw somebody say DNI being there indicates they're gonna try to cook up evidence that venezuela somehow rigged 2020 because trump's brain is totally rotten it's been bad and getting worse but it feels like we are entering the zone of truly insane, irreversible damage

the astrology podcast episode about venus-mars-sun triple conjunctions had a ton of excellent research and pointed out some jaw-dropping parallels to past events, most of which i'd never encountered but nick dagan best did get one thing wrong: ali khameini has been supreme leader of iran since 1989

just 4 days ago when minneapolis had a massive general strike i saw doomed liberals on NYT commenting "there's no point, the WH doesn't care, it will only hurt local businesses" www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country. The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

good thread about the gradations and multi-step process of practicing politics on planet earth as part of a coalition

1/ What I find most stunning (in a long list of horrors) about Elon Musk’s automation of nonconsensual degradation of children and women is the scale at which *child sexual abuse material* (!!) in particular has been industrialized… …and is largely being met with a collective shrug from authorities

just learned a new, kind of amazing word prestidigitation - magic tricks performed as entertainment

watching these iran protests remembering that khameini came to power during the 1989 saturn-neptune conjunction 👀

there are still a lot of people who simply choose to believe in an alternate reality where elon is not a 100% public self-identifying racist dude says "💯" and retweets a thread that says "racism is moral" not even a different post by the racist guy, the thread is openly naming and promoting Racism

this analysis is a public service when you're living in the reality distortion field (don't watch if you can't have your day severely hobbled by horror)

yesterday i found myself exploring the (largely academic) disagreement among historians about how to approach the moral judgment of low-ranking nazis essentially goldhagen vs arendt; hitler's willing executioners, or the banality of evil? unsurprisingly it got me super down and depressed (cont.)

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

i hate translating trump but this framing is wrong. in this particular clip he's saying we shouldn't allow somebody to take power in venezuela necessitating another regime change (which makes no sense because the regime is still in place, and he is straight up delulu about what's been accomplished)

wondering if the US regime's threats toward cuba have any teeth, i realized that batista's 1952 coup establishing military dictatorship happened under the saturn-neptune conjunction in libra so that's ominous

Also this oldie but goodie:

there is zero doubt in my mind that trump dismissed maria machado as a potential leader of venezuela because she won the nobel peace prize that he wanted for himself

I can barely process the Trump press conference I've just listened to. This is the kind of stuff you usually hear from dictators at the very heights of their delusions. Not elected leaders of superpowers.

impeach

i'm watching trump's venezuela occupation announcement muted with closed captioning and this is the craziest thing i've ever seen literally just rambling about DC crime and bashing the LAPD while telling his country that we are now running another country's govt and extracting their resources

But what if Maduro’s involvement in the drug trade was an “official act”?

charlie puth is the michael bublé of millennial pop artists

I’m not even going to publish a copy of Trumps comments about Reiner and his wife. But occasionally he reminds me that he is simply one of the worst, most degenerate individuals who has ever existed in American public life. Hard to think of any more vicious, vile and sociopathic.

'Let it Snow' with all the positive lines removed

i really can't imagine a more outrageous side-by-side political narrative than murdering (supposed, unproven) low-level drug smugglers with military strikes while also pardoning a proven, convicted high-level drug smuggler it's very animal farm tbh

i mean, even if you accept the scapegoating at face value (lol), this is still the secretary of defense publicly calling the guy who objectively ordered a war crime an american hero failure to lead both in terms of taking responsibility for the operation and modeling moral character for the troops

as bipartisan pressure grows to investigate hegseth for war crimes, he's going through some extremely rough transits, and thursday's full moon looks especially rough note that he's in a virgo profection, putting the spotlight on both natal malefics as they are getting crushed by transiting malefics

i cannot stress enough that my dreams are wildly rich with meaning almost every night, and i could genuinely spend 25% of my waking life just thinking about my dreams and finding interesting new layers to tease out and analyze why yes my 3H is heavily emphasized in my chart (and 9H, indirectly)

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
