This is a great read, and this section is the fundamental thing for me. What we are seeing with Platner is the increased normalization of Nazism. We cannot have *both* major parties be places where Nazism is accepted.

A oil prices have conveniently skyrocketed and no one can trace the money because its in a Qatari bank account.

You can see the smile creeping on his face as he's talking because he's so proud that he's getting away with something so corrupt.

I'll say it again: If you're consistently finding ways to rationalize away Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo or embrace of Nazi content creators then you really are no different than those on the right who were trying to explain why Elon really wasn't giving a Heil Hitler

very unfair to call this guy a Nazi merely because he had a Nazi tattoo, retweets Nazis, and praises Nazi shows. after all, he could just be really astonishingly fucking dumb. seems like a great candidate!

Is this intentional?!

Republicans in congress could stop this war in a moment. But their sycophancy to Trump is greater than their desire to prevent the killing of innocent women and children. All this in the context of their knowing that Trump committed sexual crimes against children.

Dwell on this.

Why are we going to war? Because too much news about Trump raping kids.

Today in “neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party.”

What kind of country does this ?

The fact that he even has Peters on his TL should be enough cause for concern

We cannot focus, as a society & polity, on the people responsible who actually matter, & it is more maddening each & every day.

This guy gets it.

Jared Kushner is at diplomatic meetings.

He's not elected. Not confirmed. Not accountable.

WHO voted for him? The Senate didn't confirm him.

So why is he in these meetings?

FOREIGN POLICY IS NOT A FAMILY BUSINESS.

Hey, dude who had a Nazi SS tattoo for 18 years

Which, um, "small group" are we talking about here

Just for clarity's sake

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

Side note, it is unacceptable that Yale just hired Brooks.

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan. The files reveal it was something far darker: a decades-lo...

NEW: Read this terrific piece @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for @thenerve.news in which she unpicks Edge.org, the hugely influential 'salon' funded by Epstein & threaded through with race science & eugenics.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Frightening

Once again:

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

Hmm maybe speak to some who have left.

It’s almost like it’s not fixable and should be abolished.

One of the first points at which it all should have ended was in 2017, when this unelected & unconfirmed person started monetizing his father-in-law's presidency in plain sight while also working in the White House & representing the US in international negotiations.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Rep. Raskin: “You ignored the law and even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference, and jaded cruelty towards more than 1,000 victims raped, abused, and trafficked. This performance screams cover-up.”
