It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Hypocrisy raised to new heights.

THEY’RE GOING TO STEAL THE ELECTION. In case you didn’t know already.

Never in human history have absurdly self-confident idiots ruled over those with actual intellect and expertise. Dunning Kruger has become a rite of passage for those wielding power in the Trump administration.

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian boy and stood around as he bled to death, video shows Israeli forces blocked Palestinian ambulances while a 14-year-old lay bleeding for at least 45 minutes.

Despicable.

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

Has a convicted rapist committed other offenses? Gosh, why would anyone think that?

Sarah Ferguson Reportedly Called Jeffrey Epstein a "Genius" for Helping Her Promote a Children's Charity While in Prison Sarah Ferguson is once again under fire for an email exchange found in the latest trove of Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

#Epstein I feel we are in a game show where panelists recount absurd stories that are either true or false. I couldn't have dreamt this was true. But here we are.

Paris tonight (Le Monde):

Brian Allen

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky is heading into Trump’s State of the Union with a message no one in power wants to answer.

She’s asking why key records are missing.
Why obvious targets haven’t been investigated.

Why the FBI’s leadership looks absent.

Truly a mystery

Infantino says FIFA coin under review at Trumps’ Mar-a-Lago crypto promo - Inside World Football February 23 – FIFA president Gianni Infantino has again floated the idea of world football launching its own cryptocurrency, telling an audience in Florida that the organisation is studying the creati...

FIFA is not taxed in Switzerland owing to its not-for-profit status, similar to churches and charities. If FIFA secures its own cryptocurrency, surely that suggests the need for a reconfiguration of the rules around taxation?

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

How do you stop a dictator? @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social took a look at the question through a wide lens, looking at examples from across the world, and reached some conclusions (gift link)

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented.

Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
