Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"
Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

Trump’s tariffs are what you get when you put an erratic strongman in charge of the economy
Someone like Trump doesn’t just own the libs, moderates and conservatives take the hit too

8) And this one is important.
For all the talk about the powerful pro-Trump media ecosystem, the share of Americans who have heard negative business news coverage of the government has exploded.
Evidently even the podcast bros can’t distract Americans from the realities of the stock market.
ZEIT ONLINE: Sie sind einer der profiliertesten Faschismusforscher weltweit. Würden Sie aktuell von faschistischen Zuständen in den USA sprechen? Stanley: Ja, natürlich. Welche Begriffe sollen wir denn sonst verwenden? Faschismus ist nicht einfach ein Schimpfwort, sondern ein Konzept, das uns hilft, die Realität zu verstehen. Und was wir jetzt sehen – das ist Faschismus. ZEIT ONLINE: Solche Vergleiche führen oft eher zu Lärm als zu Erkenntnis. Stanley: Die Faschismusdebatte ist vorbei. Die Professoren, die früher gezögert haben, diesen Begriff zu benutzen, haben längst aufgegeben. Der Historiker Samuel Moyn, ein Kollege von mir, hat kürzlich gesagt: "Okay, das ist Faschismus." Der Politologe Cory Robin, einer meiner schärfsten Kritiker, hat in einem Interview zugegeben: "Ich war skeptisch, aber das sieht aus wie Faschismus." Was soll ich noch sagen?
Ich glaub das ist schon wichtig zu verstehen: „Faschismus“ als (logischerweise unperfektes) Framework zu benutzen ist nicht dasselbe wie zu sagen „Amerika ist bald genauso wie Italien unter Mussolini“. www.zeit.de/kultur/2025-...
So close.
We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.
And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.
The time to organize is now.

There’s that airtight logic we’ve come to rely on from Don Jr
Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow.
Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand .

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.
The genesis of the notion that Canada should just be more of America may very well have been Vladimir Putin's 2021 article outlining his case for annexing Ukraine.
Das ist leider völlig falsch. Denn jede Aktion erfordert eine Reaktion. Ein Übermass an gut gemeinten Angriffen (heute als "Woke" bezeichnet) gegen vermeintliche Mehrheiten (alte weisse Männer, Westler, Israel usw.) führt bei vielen Menschen, die noch nicht polarisiert sind, zu Abwehrreaktionen.
Zwei Monate nach Amtsantritt ist klar: Donald Trump und seine Getreuen gehen aufs Ganze. Wir müssen uns wappnen.
Wo sind jetzt all jene, die noch vor wenigen Wochen behauptet haben, sie wüssten, dass Trump 2.0 gut für die Wirtschaft sein wird, weil Trump 1.0 gut war? Wie fühlt ihr Idioten euch jetzt?
Cool we're North Korea now

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."
I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.
pretty good representation of the mask off era here
Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.
Fox News is now displaying photos of judges who rule against Trump while hosts and Republicans attack them live on air
That is true, but there are good reasons for that. Messaging is a lot easier, when you can simply use immigrants as scapegoats.
Russia and China have e
been waging a propaganda war against democracy. Trump just surrendered www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.
Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.
That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.
