The big difference between Trump's first term and second is that he didn't burn down a strong economy with tariffs last time around. It's a lot easier for voters to overlook his bigoted nonsense and authoritarian bluster when they feel good about material conditions.

Cornell agreed to pay $30m, hand over admissions data with demographic breakdowns, produce annual "campus climate" surveys to check on antisemitism and changes "since October of 2023," and—here's the dumbest part they agreed to—that the govt can open new investigations whenever it wants.

Appeasers.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.

If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

It’s trials w real punishments.

This thread is horrifying, and is only happening with the complicity of Congress and the Supreme Court

Why bother even reporting obvious lies.

Imagine being a lawyer going to work to make more kids hungry.

Trump Wines Sold At Coast Guard Stores On Federal Property Exchanges in Washington, D.C., and Virginia have stocked Trump-branded wine and cider, allowing his family’s business to earn revenue from sales on federal property.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

Being annoyed that someone else's health event is taking attention from you is the essence of Trump.

Steve Bannon rips Donald Trump Jr.’s business partner for defending the "aristocracy"

Steve Bannon is wedded to the misperception that MAGA's driving force is a working class base, when in fact its core is private equity and family businesses whose aim is to capture as much public money as possible before the whole thing collapses.

My latest at @mmfa.bsky.social

We have a gold-plated Oval Office, a gilded ballroom being built, Trump making billions off of his grift, billionaires raking it in as never before thanks to Trump-MAGA legislation, sweetheart deals and regulatory cutbacks and the majority of Americans feeling the pain. That's a shitconomy for you.

Witless bigot.

This is complete bullshit.

Sounds like it’s a relevance making lunch for everyone besides Mamdani

Par for the course with this regime

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

This is so sad and pathetic.

I took my daughter to NYC when she was eight years old. I never felt unsafe. We walked, took the subway, or the hop-on, hop-off tour through Brooklyn, the Bronx, etc.

Meanwhile, the suburbs you have to walk a long way to get anywhere interesting.

Her husband is…60???

neither here nor there, but maybe this should be an example of why you don’t put people with incredibly thin resumes in charge of your megadollar think tank ATM

Shocked to learn that Elon Musk’s $44 billion investment in normalizing Nazism has normalized Nazism

There are more Fuentes Republicans than there are anti-Nazi Republicans

Sure wish I could take even a bit of schadenfreude in watching right wing Jews panic over the increasing mainstreaming of open Nazis like Fuentes

Holy fucking shit this is legitimately scandalous

wait what

New Yorkers if this doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will.
