If Donald's SOTU was the rhetorical representation of his fascism, this banner is the visual representation of it.

Straight-up Nazi:

Republicans applauding Donald's claims that they're irrelevant and powerless during the State of the Union is quite the self-own.

Just want to make sure: Only people NOT mentioned in the Epstein files will be forced to testify, right?

Asking for a "friend."

Enjoyed chatting with @wajali.bsky.social about Epstein and the Jews and the nuances of talking about that without indulging in antisemitism davidklion.substack.com/publish/post...

It's for the best. Perhaps Traitor Trump could follow its lead.

"Is this the moment Trump becomes presidential?" Over and over and over for a freakin decade.

Lifelong Republicans who started out upper middle class and now can no longer afford milk, definitely want to hear him ramble about decade old poll numbers.

This is the price the #RepublicanParty pays for Protecting Child Raping Criminals. #StateOfTheUnion

I love the sweaty predictions that Trump's State of the Union gives him a chance to reverse his plummeting approval ratings.

Yeah, man, people love to hear this guy talk at length. I'm sure a few rambling hours of him airing his grubby little grievances will really draw them back in.

Democrats Have Settled On How To Rebuke Trump At This Year’s SOTU Some will bring guests to spotlight Jeffrey Epstein’s abuses and ICE violence. Others will boycott the president's speech entirely.

When Trump looks out across the House chamber tonight during his State of the Union address, he'll be facing lots of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

If you want to see me appearing, very unprofessionally, on a podcast from my kitchen table while construction workers walk past in the background, I talked to @newsgirls.bsky.social about music and algorithms and festivals after about 27:00 in www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uyP....

The Judges Who Serve at Trump’s Pleasure The Founders abhorred a judiciary more loyal to the Crown than to the rule of law. But now the independent system they designed is under threat.

Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, researchers say A Stanford University team have tested their nasal spray vaccine in animals but still need to do human clinical trials.

A “universal vaccine” for colds and flus looks a good leap forward with some interesting science behind it. Human trials still needed.

Happy Kevin wants economists to be disciplined by their bosses for contradicting the regime's understanding of The Truth.

On Gen Z's (understandable!) anxiety: AI is likely to boost productivity, so we can create more with less. That likely creates a bigger pie. But a bigger pie won't pay the bills unless we figure out how to ensure that everyone gets a reasonable slice.

Tariffs are like magic. They lead people to buy American, without raising the price of foreign goods, and they also raise enormous revenue from foreigners. They fund childcare and deficit reduction and tariff rebates and they smell nice.

I still have this Greg Grandin tome percolating on a shelf, very on point

Bad Bunny's Stunning Redefinition of "America" His joyous, internationalist, worker-centered vision was a declaration of war against Trumpism.

An estimated 135 million viewers in the United States watched Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show. What they saw was a stunning redefinition of what it means to be an American, writes Greg Grandin. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
