Trumpโ€™s own cybersecurity chief Chris Krebs and his Attorney General Bill Barr both said there was no significant fraud in the 2020 election

The only impropriety was Trumpโ€™s illegal and traitorous conspiracy to overthrow our legitimately elected government

The Coercive Acts of 1774

The Coercive Acts of 1774

๐ŸงตWhat we are witnessing in Minnesota is not that different from what the Crown did after the Boston Tea Party.

There are so many parallels to the lead-up to the American Revolution, and Trump's extreme measures in Minnesota are right in line with what King George III did to Massachusetts.

Ask Not for Whom the Bell Tolls, Mr. President Trump's mania to erect monuments to himself will soon, quickly (and gloriously) be undone

ยซDonald Trump is a noodle adrift in the chicken soup of his own mind.ยป Well written! I think @djrothkopf.bsky.social is right in his prediction. The signs are there๐Ÿคž

You Canโ€™t Kill Swagger My old corner of The Washington Post raised some of the best journalists in the business.

In almost any newsroom, the Sports section works the hardest, but also has the most fun and often produces the best journalism. This was especially true with the sports section of the Washington Post. Wonderful obituary by @sallyjenx.bsky.social

To put it another way: Jeff Bezos could easily ensure there are no staff cuts at The Washington Post for the next decade, and he'd still have more than $249B in net worth left over.

Yes, but he somehow forgot to mention that to his editors, or they forgot to mention it to his readers when they published this:

Tomorrow, Mike Johnson's majority in the House will be down to one vote, which means, in my humble opinion, that Rep. Thomas Massie has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

Ethnic Cleansing in Ohio? Nazi Lies in Vance's America

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a โ€œlarge deportationโ€ promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

So letโ€™s set the Gestapo aside. Instead Iโ€™ll use this thread to compare Trumpโ€™s thugs to other secret police and terror squads from different times and places. Itโ€™s tyranny, no matter where it comes from. 1/10๐Ÿงต๐Ÿงต๐Ÿงต๐Ÿงต๐Ÿงต

Graph of the percent of annual runoff in the Sacramento River that comes between April and July, as snowmelt. This fraction has dropped from over 40% a century ago to just over 30% today -- a decline caused by climate change accelerating snowmelt earlier in the year. Graph plotted by Peter Gleick from CA Department of Water Resources data.

California's largest river, the Sacramento, is losing spring and summer runoff as climate change increases temperatures, changes snow to rain, and accelerates snowmelt in the winter months.

While weโ€™re talking about citizenship, legality, immigration & deportation vis ร  vis Jews under the Nazis, one major escalation after the initial antisemitic Nuremberg laws was the stripping of residential permits from & deportation of 17,000 Jews living in Germany with Polish citizenship.

Referring to the US as a "homeland" was always creepy as fuck, always nazi-adjacent, and creating a Dept. of Homeland Security was an obvious lurch toward authoritarianism that should have been strenuously resisted from the beginning.

(Oh weird the hippies were right again.)
