This is Ethnic Cleansing and destroying our economy.

A reminder that the christofascists in the government despise all who worship differently than their for-profit pastors.

"US Navy ‘successfully escorted’ oil tanker through Strait of Hormuz" story seems false The story was based on a tweet by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, which has now been deleted (we checked) You can't trust claims from even Cabinet-level people in the Trump administration

I'm tired of the doom and gloom this morning. It's almost spring if not miserable spring where you are already; so what are the things you're looking forward to this year?

The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

I would still like some acknowledgement from certain Matt Stoller post leftist circles that they participated in propping up the lie that Trump 2.0 would be a "Lina Khan esque" extension of good faith populist antitrust busting

A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off

On god.

Over at the newsletter I wrote about how establishment Democrats' problem isn't going "too far left" on "identity politics," it's being feckless invertebrates in the face of autocracy and unchecked corporate power.

It took 19 guys and plane tickets to permanently damage the US. I’m less worried about their missiles and ships, than I am about creating more Bin Ladens.

Every objective study of LLMs have shown that despite people feeling like they are helping, they make work worse and slower vs "But I feel like they are helping"

They're just redefining poverty to include more Americans that thought they were middle class.

It's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH youtu.be/jomaMvItnew?...

Mayor Mamdani posts about a Trump-pardoned 1/6 “white supremacist” insurrectionist leading a racist protest at his house where they attempted to use an explosive device. Hate has consequences. As @RepOgles fills up his feed with bigotry.

WSJ: “A WSJ investigation tracked U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive government campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.” The Trump regime is cracking down on dissent. As authoritarians do. www.wsj.com/us-news/immi...

Wall Street starting to put some numbers on airlines. MELIUS: “.. raising our 2026 jet fuel forecast 9% and .. lowering our net income by 10%. .. We would note that during the Russia / Ukraine war it took 12 days for oil to peak at nearly $130 / bbl, and 148 days to retreat to prior levels.”

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.” Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey. Sign up now to help it meet this moment. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Bonesaw MAGA

I’m not at all sure how to read this. Tulsi Gabbard is a plant for Russia and Iran. But she is also Trump’s DNi. And Russia is sharing intel with Iran in a war against us. And someone in the US Intel is leaking this stuff to the press.

Don't worry, prices will immediately fall when the situation settles down, because companies always, quickly return excess profits to consumers.

US companies denied refunds on Trump’s illegal tariffs ft.trib.al/niHJonr

Oh man we are HAVING A NEWS DAY I see *BLACKROCK’S $26 BILLION PRIVATE CREDIT FUND LIMITS WITHDRAWALS

Fact check: True.

I'll be sharing this because I feel like shit is more pertinent today now that we all have some of the statistics. Our economy is crashing from ethnic cleansing.

If only they listened.

I fucking hate the American culture of entitled asshole selfishness. you see it everywhere. the driver assholes going 90 in a school zone. the assholes who don’t leash their dog or pick up their dog shit. the assholes who litter. the assholes who won’t vaccine their kids

Read this thread ⤵️

Quick note: I'm traveling through Saturday, but I've read the FBI interviews with the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a child. Significant redactions (and redacted dates for some reason?) and these aren't original FBI case files. We don't know what else is in her file

I will never for my entire life forget centrists giving me "but how will we pay for it" lectures about universal healthcare.

Gas prices jumped an average of 11 cents OVERNIGHT, and continue to rise. This is the price of bad leadership.

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

Data center tax breaks are costing Phoenix $12 million dollars a year. A new audit says Arizona’s tax breaks for data center developers are costing Phoenix taxpayers the same amount as the city is spending on arts and culture initiatives and environmental programs put together.

Make any comment about the evil of AI on the internet and you inevitably get these people saying, "Ah, but you can't halt progress." You know what else people thought was progress not long after it was invented? Asbestos.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

🔥 “IT’S A TRAIN.” Since even Boring’s own estimates show the Elon tunnel will only handle a tiny fraction of NASHVILLE traffic, Joe Lee suggest tying some Tesla cars together and putting them on a track for a real solution 🚂 (The anti-tunnel resolution passed)

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

deleted his tweet as soon as an actual war popped off

Trump and Hegseth have everything figured out. We got strategic geniuses running this operation.

The President and his gang of drunken doofuses started a jihad in Iran. Sucks to suck and good luck getting home if you're in the middle east tho.

When you call your reps today, ask them if they approved war, let alone a holy war jihad.

Question: Should those of us who recently made content about renewable energy and made an argument that electric cars should be seen as a national security benefit because we can use energy sources other than oil, um, press on that? Kinda of hard to resist but y'know doesn't feel very kind.

Many of the scientists Jeffrey Epstein courted were already well-established and well-funded. So why didn’t they all just say no? Science talked with three who did just that. Here’s how Epstein approached them, and why they refused to have anything to do with him. ⬇️ https://scim.ag/40qbXnv
