Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"

Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸"

Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."

Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Europe’s generals are warning people to prepare for war But western European societies are in denial

European governments are beginning to respond to warnings about the possibility of a war with Russia. But few of the continent’s western countries have anything comparable to the war readiness of the Nordics, Baltics and Poland

NEW: Citing a "large docket of cases", a Justice Dept attorney asks a court to DELAY the upcoming deadline for the Trump Admin to respond to a lawsuit, which seeks to require the hanging of the Jan 6 plaque honoring police at the Capitol

Federal law required the plaque to be hung by 2023

christian zionists not only outnumber jewish ones 10 to 1, theyre a hell of a lot more powerful in the US right now

Trump wants to lock up reporters for exercising their First Amendment right? Hell. No.

Even if not that was enough to justify the occupation of DC in his mind.

They really want to make this a Reichstag moment.

May we all be prepared to meet the urgency of the moment, when our own challenge arrives.

Communism. State ownership and control of industry. Because this admin is doing so well at its day job, it might as well add a side hustle.

How John Durham and Chuck Grassley Covered Up Getting Ass-Handed by Russia - emptywheel John Durham (with Chuck Grassley's help) tried to obscure that on the same day as the Russian spy report that drove his entire investigation, Russian spooks discussed seeding conspiracies about "dark ...

I've long believed 2016 Russian operation in US was most successful intelligence operation in recent history.

With disclosure that Durham investigation all predicated on disinformation, I double down on that opinion. Russia completely destroyed the United States.

Please do not forget, the cruelty is the point!

This is about clearing the way for the "Master Race " while punishing anyone not in the cult. It is a combination of Xenophobia, Eugenics, and Social Darwinism that drives today's Republican Nazi Party.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info.

The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

Please remind people this is not about randomly letting us die, it is about Eugenics. Pandemics are an opportunity for a mass kill-off, no concentration camps required. The "special" people will isolate from the proles, who, as last time, will be expected to work; no facemasks will be provided.

Adam Serwer on America's "new dark age" "They see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control."

AI is a parasite that is built on *stealing* (aka "training on") the scholarship of professors. The idea that it might have an enlarged role in higher education is terrifying.

The “Dementia Village” is a first of its kind community designed to give people with dementia the freedom to live and play. It looks and feels like a small town, complete with parks, grocery stores, cafes, and everyday spaces that offer comfort, routine and a sense of independence. #AgingWithDignity

Clippy to you.

This is what we mean when we say that RGK Jr and his gaggle of flunkies are pushing soft eugenics. Look at that phrasing: “only very sick kids should die from measles. “

Why the fuck should ANY CHILD die from measles? Why is a sick child worth less than a well one?

Flights Could Be Disrupted Across U.S., Transportation Secretary Warns

As Newark Liberty International Airport struggled with technological disruptions and staffing shortages, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on Sunday that more U.S. airports could face similar disruptions this summer.

"The world as we know it will soon expire. In its ashes, a new era dominated by digital lifeforms — that is, artificial intelligences — will emerge. These beings will stand to us as “gods,” though by merging our brains with AI or “uploading” our minds to computers, we may become gods ourselves."
