I think it's time to call what is happening in the United States for what it is. Ethnic cleansing.

Most of yesterday's intelligence hearing focused on Signal.

Something else not to be missed: this exchange between Sen. King (ME-I) Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. King asked why the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment did not mention climate change, after doing so for 11 years.

I honestly cannot express how awesome it is that the DoD was putting out these statements at the literal exact same time that the Secretary of Defense was negligently transmitting classified information on an unsecure platform to a journalist.

It's just utterly amazing. What a time to be alive.

“Two leaders of two great countries who are very good friends.” I’ll say it for the umpteenth time: No way should any of our allies be sharing their intelligence with us. No fucking way.👇

He’s such a miserable dick. He’s always a miserable victim. Everybody is always out to screw him. What a fucking miserable outlook on life. And btw, he’s saying yet again exactly what Putin wants him to say. He’s working for Putin.

An epidemc that will dwarf Covid in morbity and CFR is coming, sooner or later. With his last administration's early response to Covid, the current gutting of government agencies that are our best defense against it, and the buffoon that is in charge of it all, we better pray it's not anytime soon.

Just the <checks notes> Chair of the House Appropriations Committee going on the record to say that appropriations statutes “are not a law.”

The United States Congress, ladies and gentlemen.

Amen, sister.

State Department issues immediate, widespread pause on foreign aid The “stop-work orders” appear to apply to US aid for all countries except Israel and Egypt.

Jesus laying down his life out of love for the world rather than using all cosmic and political power to force the world to obey him will forever be the greatest critique of any Christian movement that seeks to secure power in order to ensure that others conform to their will.

It should not be taken lightly that a sitting Member of Congress is advocating for the deportation of an American citizen due to their perceived political beliefs.

This would be a direct violation of the First Amendment.

The gesture he made was a perfect Nazi salute. That’s not in dispute.

Did he mean to do it? Only Elon knows.

But here’s the thing: All he’d have to do is simply say “Fuck no, I wasn’t doing the Nazi salute. I’d NEVER do that. The Nazis were evil. Fuck the Nazis.”

And Elon hasn’t said ANY of that.

Enrique Tarrio calls for retribution in chilling interview with Alex Jones ‘We need to find and put them behind bars for what they did. They need to pay for what they did,’ Enrique Tarrio exclaimed on Tuesday night, referencing those who investigated the January 6 Capitol at...

After being pardoned for seditious conspiracy, ex-Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio ran to Alex Jones and demanded retribution: “The people who did this, they need to feel the heat. They need to be put behind bars, and they need to be prosecuted!”

Hitler, Hitler, Hitler... That's a compliment to this guy.

We should start comparing him to Idi Amin Dada... It will annoy Trump in SO many ways.

MAGAs, whose pastors have spent the past decade openly shilling for Trump from the pulpit, have the nerve to condemn a minister for preaching the words of Jesus from the pulpit.

Trump is their messiah.

MAGA Christianity is Anti-Jesus. Just ask Jesus. Rev.

Literally nothing is as MAGA as watching a bunch of self-righteous frauds who pretend to give a damn about Christianity, viciously attacking a minister preaching about caring for the vulnerable while their r*pist-felon messiah condescendingly scoffs at her.

A third of the Arctic’s vast carbon sink now a source of emissions, study reveals Critical CO2 stores held in permafrost are being released as the landscape changes with global heating, report shows

This is what I was writing about 20 years ago as a terrifying but far off prospect, a key tipping point in the climate crisis. Now it’s here. Report by my colleague @patrickgreenfield A third of Arctic’s vast carbon sink now source of emissions, study reveals www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“The neo-reactionary movement, also known as the Dark Enlightenment, believes that democracy is a mistake and that equality is not a desirable goal *** Practically clandestine, it has already managed to infiltrate Trump’s populist right and Silicon Valley” 11/30/24 english.elpais.com/usa/2024-11-...

“family members of active duty personnel”

this is depravity

People are claiming that Elon Musk, the same guy who recently endorsed the Neo-Nazi party in Germany and routinely pushes The Great Replacement Theory, something that sounds as if were inspired by Mein Kampf, did a Sieg Heil salute *by accident* at a political rally. Twice.

Bless your hearts.

For real. This is a Nazi salute. Period. And he meant it to be seen that way. The wealthiest man on earth, the man who just bought himself a US president, is a legit fascist and wants everyone to know it. There is no other explanation for this. There just isn’t

Pete Hegseth: The Short Course 13 Steps to National Destruction

This.

What i haven't seen talked about much is the quality of the candidates for his first cabinet versus this one. Jim Mattis was revered in the military, highly intelligent, well educated, with a well-known reputation for caring for his troops welfare. Hegseth, at best, is a buffoon .

They're not "smears" if they're true, and they don't become "anonymous" because your political allies pressured the FBI not to interview your victims.
