*rubs temples* As I've spent the better part of the day explaining why I don't think Newsom should be the Democratic nominee for president, it pains me to "defend" this, but... The governor of California is legally obligated to proclaim each Feb 6 Reagan Day per a 2010 state law.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

I can't overstate just how much of a disinformation weapon X has becomeand it's being targeted at trans people in particular. A 6 year old video is going around being passed off as the shooter. Fake images are circulating like crazy along with outright genocidal language.

Or, another way of saying this, if a politician were to go full genocide on trans people, the public would not care as long as groceries and gas were cheap.

Pam Bondi is just treating the rest of America the way she treated trans Floridians. I keep saying it: if you want to know who the fascists are, and how they behave, look at who is going after trans people hardest. Same way the worst Nazis went after Jews, Sinti, gays, and the disabled.

Something that a lot of leftist friends have a hard time accepting is that George W. Bush was not a fascist or a dictator. Awful President, but not a fascist. If he'd clearly lost in 2004, he would have conceded and there would have been a normal transfer of power.

Everybody knows that Pupper just won Downhill Gold

It's funny that Republicans are more obsessed with where I go to the bathroom, inside of a locked stall as one is supposed to, than where Trump is doing his business, which is mostly in his own pants these days. One seems like a much bigger problem than the other in the grand scheme of things.

Let's make the Puppy Bowl interesting. Winners get adopted. Losers get adopted by Kristi Noem.

Remember that midnight raid in Chicago supposedly to arrest Tren del Aragua members? Newly revealed court docs show that the raid was facilitated by the building owners who are now accused of using the raid to evict tenants. DHS never mentions TDA in their filings: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Good morning. Looking for insights into where and how I might begin writing for any Canadian outlets to tie US / Canadian politics together, and help people here understand WTF happened to the US, and why it's so dangerous even if a full democracy.

Why are the men’s names redacted and the victims names exposed?

Sigh. Sounds crazy, but plausible given this administration.

I've heard all these things before, but not all at the same time in the same place at the same time. It's also why I'm not in the US anymore: I can see the writing on the wall, the moves for a solution to the transgender question are already moving (Mother Jones caught them saying this).

If you ever wanted proof that sexual orientation is innate, this if further proof way more than 1-2% of women would choose to be lesbians if they could.

My latest at Dame. All of this is important. None of it is a distraction. Welcome to the wonderful world of a polycrisis where everyone is mentally and emotionally overwhelmed as our democracy experiences multiple organ failure. www.damemagazine.com/2026/02/04/a...

What they're discovering is that there's a crowded market for intelligent, college educated people who read, and there's almost endless money by going down the Fox/NY Post route of "Transgenders and Illegals Probably Steal and Eat Babies" route of "journalism."

I literally wrote an article today that comes out tomorrow that points out people who obsessively hate trans people also are often dealing with other major mental health issues and hate other groups of people (i.e. black people, Jews, Muslims, Hispanics, etc.) who you will get in trouble for hating

Trump is shutting down the Kennedy Center for the next 2 years for "renovations". This is pure pretext: the Center had a 250 million dollar overhaul just 7 years ago. Sales down 50%, cancellations rampant, and the "renovations" will likely be a gilded stylistic atrocity. www.vox.com/culture/4775...

Of all the things that never happened, this didn't happen the most. Also, why does he think that college age women talk like gay guys / drag queens?

We want to ask anyone who comes across this study to avoid and not to participate in it. www.reddit.com/r/traaaaaaan...

"Everyone clap, or we give your dog to Noem."

Trump controls these agencies, and the leadership at them was selected for loyalty. I believe the word we are looking for is kleptocracy.

Delta, United, and American, plus most regional carriers, fly bombardier aircraft. He just nuked regional routes from orbit, and peed on the ashes just to be sure.

Developing as I predicted. Watch the separatist initiative vote. When it fails, the US and separatists will seize upon false allegations of fraud to demand US intervention.

Translation: "If you protest, we reserve the right to murder you with impunity." Boy, aren't you glad you voted for Trump and those woke trans weirdos didn't take away your freedom of speech anymore?

This was never intended to make money. It was a gift to Trump in the form of a video hagioagraphy of his wife, who genuinely despises being around the "litte people". www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Trump trying to destabilise Canada from within.

I gotta hand it to Melania and the GOP. They managed to put a woman in the White House who has even less charisma than Hillary. She looks and acts like she feeds British kids Turkish delight while riding a sleigh.

I'm in deep cover somewhere red at the moment. I can confirm: the right pretty uniformly believes that Pretti was going for his gun.

Your little brother is being annoying and won't leave you alone. You should: a. Ignore him b. Pistol whip and shoot him, then explain it's really his fault he's dead because he'd be alive if he wasn't sayin "nanny nanny boo-boo" at you. If you answered b, please seek help. Or a vasectomy.

Calling it now: layoffs, doubling down on current strategy, more right leaning content, and reliance on cheap AI slop to cut costs.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.

So, a lot of people have been dunking on me for my analysis of what to expect in the 2028 Presidential election. Most clearly didn't read the material, or wanted to dismiss all of it over trivia. "Ok doomer" was common, but none actually looked at my predictive record. Here are some highlights. 1/n

Remember.

I read the data a bit differently. That 31% "strongly oppose"? Yeah, that's about 1/3rd of Americans rooting for a fascist state where their team gets to kill "libtards" with impunity while laughing at their dying breaths. That's more than enough to sustain GOP administrations forever.

Gee... that's not what they said about Kyle Rittenhouse in 2020.

Nailed it. Now we killed a bunch of Venezuelans, and left an unpopular dictator in place who is paying into a protection racket to remain in power. (US gets oil, gives SOME of the proceeds back to the Venezuelan government)

Just a reminder: some of us saw this coming. If you read the last chapter, we likely passed the event horizon sometime in January 2025. www.amazon.com/American-Fas...

My grandparents were Eisenhower Republicans. I doubt either Reagan or Eisenhower would recognize what we've become. Or, more accurately, Eisenhower would know fascism when he saw it again.

Say it with me folks: ICE is not a law enforcement agency. It's a bunch of random white nationalists and fascists they handed guns to and let loose with a license to assault, arrest, or kill anyone they feel like knowing they're shielded by the government. This is the Sturmabteilung. Period.

Fascists only hide their crimes when they are concerned they will be held responsible for them. That Trump and ICE are comfortable committing violence in plain sight is only an indication that they don’t fear that opposition will yield any consequence.

So, if the fascists in power don't consider me an American, and I don't consider myself an American, am I American?

I just thought everyone should see this

It's not incompetence: Patel and Bongino know truth is irrelevant, and all that matters is what people believe to be true. Research shows that whatever people hear FIRST is what they will believe going forward, regardless if they hear corrected information later. They shape reality deliberately.

Fred Rogers literally washed the feet of a black man (whom he knew to be secretly gay) on TV to make a point about the role of his faith as it related to the civil rights movement. (i.e. his faith demanded that he support it) I mean, c'mon.

Please read and share this. It shapes all my thinking about the future of the US right now, and it explains why Trump and the GOP are behaving the way they do. There is a near zero chance a Democrat will be sworn in as President in 2029, no matter how people vote. bylinetimes.com/2026/01/22/t...
