Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

The most disheartening thing about America’s descent into fascism has been the abject cowardice of virtually all the people and institutions that could have stood up and refused to comply.

it’s not a dark enlightenment, what we are undergoing is a dark reenchantment. people’s understanding of the world is increasingly formed by sources seeking to intrigue or awe, rather than inform with anything like procedurally vetted approximations of mundane truth.

“These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you have seen don't do it justice. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage.”

HUGE admission by El Salvador here; it completely puts to lie the Trump admin’s repeated claims in court that it has no control over people sent to El Salvador to be imprisoned without trial. El Salvador told the United Nations definitively; these people are being held under U.S. jurisdiction.

Hey @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social and other media outlets, how about reporting that the current president doesn’t know if he has to uphold the constitution, despite his oath of office, vs leading with the fact he says he won’t run for a third term??!! How do you choose your headlines?

Hitler also rewarded loyalty. Here he is with Ferdinand Porsche promoting the “people’s car” — History shouldn’t repeat itself when we know better.

A lot of people who got the measles as children died or suffered lifelong disabilities as a result. The measles vaccine was a godsend to worldwide public health, and it’s an absolute scandal that this lethally ignorant dolt has any power over public health.

Union Square rally.

Hey Media, where are you? Every little thing Biden said was analyzed...why so quiet now? @cnn.com @msnbc.com @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @cbsnews.com

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

The stunning cowardice of the Republican Party in this moment will go down in the history books. They simply gave our government to a billionaire and cheered as it burned.

NEW: I was asked to start compiling a list of companies bending the knee to the Trump regime by ditching their DEI programs. Here you go! www.muellershewrote.com/p/companies-...

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

🚨🚨 WOW 💯 🚨🚨 I am not religious But this says it all

Hey MAGA! Just because someone is a woman or a racial or sexual minority doesn’t mean they’re a DEI hire. Yes, there are unqualified people being appointed to government positions in the Trump administration, but they are mostly unqualified, straight white male idiots.

Full Jean Chrétien letter. #cdnpoli :

Musk spent nearly $300 million to elect a president with a virulently anti-immigrant agenda and now is telling Trump’s anti-immigrant supporters to “FUCK YOURSELF in the face” Unclear who Musk thought was voting for the guy who blamed immigrants for all of America’s economic problems

I agree, three hundred and sixty billion percent.

This is what the future for whistleblowers looks like: “Hegseth’s lawyer says if he isn’t confirmed, they may take legal action against whistleblower” So much for the law protecting them.
