If America is becoming a “merit-based country” why aren’t any of the cabinet picks qualified to do their jobs? 🤔 Question is rhetorical.

Trump frees Ross Ulbricht, the net's first dark-web drug kingpin, after 11 years of a life sentence.

Murder-for-hire accusations dissuaded Trump from freeing Ulbricht before, a source tells WIRED. But Ulbricht is a major crypto cause célèbre, and Trump is now calling his prosecutors "scum."

If you can't recognize a fkin nazi salute,
you don't belong in journalism.
You can't call yourself a journalist.

At most, you're a joke.
At worst, you're a nazi bootlicker.
don’t shoot me but my contentious view is that it probably wasn’t a Nazi salute - despite obvious similarities - and we shouldn’t claim to *know* that it was one

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

The real lesson from the history of authoritarian regimes is that if you just roll over several times at the start, it *totally* makes it easier to resist down the line.
From November 15:

“One Trump transition team member says he wants to bend Republican senators to his will “until they snap in half””

Just once a journalist should said "no you're not"
