This right here.

This is what it has come to.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After

By distracting us with fake terrorism, this administration is inviting the real thing.

"It was malpractice on the side of Harvard's lawyers not to pick up the phone and call the members of the antisemitism task force who they had been talking to for weeks," said May Mailman, the White House senior policy strategist. "Instead, Harvard went on a victimhood campaign." Still, Ms. Mailman said, there is a potential pathway to resume discussions if the university, among other measures, follows through on what Mr. Trump wants and apologizes to its students for fostering a campus where there was antisemitism.

it’s so funny to see this woman get all huffy in the times story about trump backing off harvard bc someone flagged her for me recently as a white house rando who’d been elevated to a big job with no experience and really sucks at it

This is important.

There is no clearer way to say it.

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

and they want to do it ...

... in *a few months*

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here

I've seen and heard the same from federal employees. These patriotic civil servants feel terrorized by the Trump administration. All I can say is this: This isn't going to end well for the Republic until MAGA officials are terrorized in the same way. The opposition needs to get straight about that.

A news article headline reads, "White House Plans to Pause $175 Million for Penn Over Transgender Policy." The subheadline states that the decision is part of a broader effort to push universities to end diversity programming and adopt stricter discipline. Below the text is a photograph of a historic building on the University of Pennsylvania's campus, with a statue in the foreground and leafless trees framing the image. The article is authored by Alan Blinder and Michael C. Bender, published on March 19, 2025.

A news article continues discussing the Trump administration's decision to suspend $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania due to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The article references a White House social media account announcing the move, citing Penn's support of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a justification. A response from Penn states that they have not received official notification and assert they are in compliance with all relevant regulations.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

If our democracy ends up in ashes it will largely be due to the overwhelming ignorance of far too many of our fellow citizens, their arrogance in believing otherwise, and their laziness in not attempting to correct it.

If this isn't evidence of mass brainwashing and the power of propaganda I don't know what is.

this is genuinely shocking. this is a very particular strain of american nazi shit - this isn’t a conspiracy theory that exists outside of that belief system. this is not something you would say if you aren’t well versed in neonazi talking points.

You should read this article. I have never seen as clear a mission statement as this.

Just going to pretend the data or economic concepts we dislike doesn't exist.

I mean, he's not wrong.

Is that an age thing? Most restaurants are horrible with sound bouncing all over to the point you can't have a conversation.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

That’s a patriot

This is a conversation that needs to be happening right here, right now, because too many white folk are still out here laboring under the delusion that their relatives were “misinformed.”

No. They voted to unleash this malice, driven by their racism and bigotry.

Hi, former White House intern, DNC communications staffer, and re-election team partner here:

One does not ‘slip’ into the Oval Office. Does not. Period, ever. That’s not a thing.

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?

Trump officials start dismantling civil rights offices, as part of DOGE’s secret plan Legal experts said that unwinding a civil rights-era bulwark designed to safeguard employees’ rights removes a crucial check on institutional power.

worth saying again that this was a bait and switch. if trump had openly announced he was running on allowing companies to discriminate against women and minorities he would not have won wapo.st/43aVQg1

The quasi unanimous reactions of the leaders of Europe and Canada in support of Ukraine should be a first step followed by decisive action. The issue is no longer to live with a poor deal but to develop a credible alternative to the Trump/Putin plan 2/
