Pete Hegseth, you in danger, girl.

“It’s classic, textbook propaganda.”

The official voice of the US government is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us?

Joking memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

During WWII a German vessel fired upon sailors floating in the sea after the Greek vessel Peleus was sunk. The officers were tried and convicted in the Peleus War Crimes trial.

"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record. Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

They place their wink and nods to white supremacy and fascism everywhere. We ignore it at our peril.

“To believe anything about Epstein coming from Trump and his cronies requires a complete suspension of common sense, which is why it’s good to remember that the simplest explanation is often the correct one: they’re lying.” — @justinglawe.bsky.social

MAGA's Epstein gaslighting is unsustainable

To believe anything they say requires a complete suspension of common sense.

Surprise! The “peace plan” is really just a plan for Trump, Witkoff, Don Junior and their friends to get rich. Everything is a grift. (And the Hunter hunters are silent) www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Time to ask: In whose interests is American foreign policy being conducted?

When Ukrainian soldiers are wounded in action, Russian drones target both them and the people who come to rescue them. Join me in a fundraising campaign for vehicles with drone-jamming equipment. snyder.substack.com/p/freedom-is...

Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan. I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month. And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

Will someone please ask the 89 million Americans who didn't vote in the last election if they are being affected by anything this administration is doing to the other Americans?

schopenhauer on stephen miller and every other fascist degenerate

I wrote a character in a book once who was *less* racist and evil than Stephen Miller and my editor told me I was just being excessive and needed to cut a bunch of stuff.

Sarah "Neila" Elkins@neilak20.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Stephen Miller's evilness is so pronounced that if someone wrote a villain like him in a book the author would be told to tone it down. :/

He’s going to fight drug trafficking by pardoning them? Trump announced “a Full and Complete Pardon” for former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was found guilty by an American jury last year of conspiring to import cocaine into the US.

This is one of those why!? moments. The Trump administration abruptly halted an FDA effort that was designed to keep asbestos out of talc-based cosmetics.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing "Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions." Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Reminder that all the "pardons" granted to Jan6ers whose convictions were still pending were auto-pen pardons.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.” He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation. (He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

Homeland Security‘s social media gets more unhinged and master-race-y every day. Today they want us to believe that terrorizing immigrants is “the fight for western civilization.”

Do yourself a favor and listen to Weiss and Snyder:

Indiana Republican Sen. Mike Bohacek, who has a daughter with Down syndrome, says he’ll vote No on redistricting following Trump’s “retarded” slur at Gov. Walz.

Straight-up sociopath. Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral? TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.
