Once upon a time they called them [checks notes] the Axis Powers.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

This is an immutable, universal rule

LIVE THREAD: ALBERTA INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM RESULTS. Election results should start being made public in 5 minutes. I'm currently watching the CBC stream: www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

A tradition unlike any other

Leading a federal agency means doing actual work. The only skills these people possess are: kissing Trump’s fat ass, scamming people out of money, and spouting off on social media.

I legit lmao when people were asking when Hegseth would get fired over Signal-gate. I was like, Pete’s staying precisely because he *is* weak and incompetent. Makes him even more dependent on Trump and Trump loves that. Gives him leverage.

No. She got obnoxious and ended up in the papers. Greed doesn't get you fired in this White House. Making the president look like a mook, however, gets you canned in a hot second

I converted to Catholicism a few months ago. Here's why I will be proud to take part in firing squad executions.

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

As dementia deepens, the filters recede.

Imagine a massive cyber attack on U.S. critical infrastructure, but perpetuated by the U.S. President’s political allies.

Tech bros’ bad Gibson takes only rivaled by their bad Tolkien takes.

Because successful politicians are adept at signaling, democracies are vulnerable to demagogues.

Signaling

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

❗❗❗

Just a reminder that the few remaining experts at the CDC's food-borne illness division identified Taylor Farms as the source of the cyclospora outbreak very early on, but because the owner of Taylor Farms is a big Trump donor, he was able to prevent a recall for weeks as thousands fell ill.

There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.

Seems reasonable.

Yep.

Dude loves his handsome strapping gladiators tho, yes sirree he does.

Your drunk uncle who did a spell in stir, now in the county home lockdown unit.

Your daily reminder that testosterone supplements are, by any reasonable definition, gender-affirming care.

It's junior-league Soviet show trial-level stuff. They concocted fake 'evidence' for the purpose of smearing a witness and recycling the smear through giant the RW media maw. At a hearing of the United States Senate.

PSA's are "don't litter" or "save for retirement"

If the BS being pushed by sitting senators as 'evidence' had passed the miniscule low bar of Benny Johnson, the next stop in the RW media chain was full coverage on each of these shows.

They love markets...until they don't.

I, for one, am *not* convinced that Peter Thiel’s supposed criticism of the second Trump administration is sincere. His fingerprints are all over Trump 2.0, and it’s more than “just” JD Vance. 1/

They love Israel. Actual Jews...not so much.

Temporary execution

Odd to find people not getting the con Sen. Schmitt et al were running. Ummm all they were doing was using a Senate hearing to throw some BS to their RW podcast bros like Benny Johnson, and let them do the rest. And they couldn't even clear that lowest of low bars. bsky.app/profile/albe...

Two highly self-interested lunatics.
