i used to have the stomach to doomscroll but now the endless stream of content is creating too much cognitive dissonance because so little of it is about the occupation of our city

Yeah, he's a nazi.

yes, and reconstruction didn't go nearly far enough.

The propagandists running the @DHSgov account are deliberately pushing thinly-veiled neo-Nazi material through the official communications channels of the U.S. government. Their goal is stirring outrage (to which they will express fake outrage) and signaling to their followers where they're going.

In 2021, I wrote "The New Redeemers" for the Georgia Law Review, arguing that the politics of racial grievance, anti-Washington, D.C. rhetoric, and the events of January 6th are all part of a pernicious force in American life reminiscent of Reconstruction. digitalcommons.law.uga.edu/glr/vol55/is...

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Would be fab among many other things for DC to have a federal representative who can immediately get in front of a camera and say why a military occupation is bad, but instead we have an 88 year old who isn’t sure what her job is

New York, NY – Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, candidate for Mayor of New York City, today announced ‘Zohran’s Law,’ a plan to protect the city’s rent-stabilized apartments from being occupied by high-income individauls, ensuring these limited, affordable units go to New Yorkers who actually need them. Under Cuomo’s proposal, when a rent-stabilized apartment becomes vacant, the incoming individual income would be capped so that the annual rent makes up at least 30 percent of that income. For example, if an apartment rents for $2,500 a month ($30,000 per year), the new tenant’s income could not exceed $100,000. New York City is in the grip of a housing emergency. The city does not have enough units, and the drastically low vacancy rate is driving up prices, squeezing families, and forcing many to leave in record numbers.

In urban policy, it is considered bad for someone to be rent-burdened (spending at least 30% of their income on rent). But Cuomo's newly proposed law would *require* that people be rent-burdened. Absolutely insane.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Anas al-Sharif among five Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel in Gaza Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.

Israel's massacre of Palestinian journalists has been unconscionable.

And the silence of western journalists has been an utter abomination to our profession. And to humanity.

A number of FEMA employees were told via email that they would be reassigned to ICE. Here's the kicker: If they don’t accept the new position, they could be fired.

The priorities of Trump's administration have never been clearer. Remove immigrants at all costs, disasters be damned.

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

IRS, White House clashed over immigrants’ data before tax chief was ousted The Trump administration’s move to push out IRS Commissioner Billy Long came after the agency said it couldn’t release some information on taxpayers suspected of being here illegally.

Exclusive: The Internal Revenue Service said Friday it wouldn’t tell immigration authorities whether people had claimed the earned income tax credit, citing privacy protections.

Later that day, Billy Long was on his way out.

I think we went astray when we stopped calling these people stupid inbred hicks

Australia Admits All Those Animals Made Up SYDNEY—Saying the ruse began as a harmless prank about the continent’s mammals having pouches, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese admitted Tuesday that all those animals like wallabies, numbats, quokkas, and bandicoots were completely made up. “We just assumed everyone would have caught on by now, because these creatures are clearly imaginary,” said Albanese, adding that […]
