"Your the reason this country is going to a Socialistic nation"—Some dumb right-winger
Nice writing here by Tim Synder. Summing up Jd vance's lie strategy: “Where there is the smoke that I made up, then there must also be the fire that I also made up.”
"Vance was more specific claiming increased rates of disease and crime. All of these were also baseless, false."

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” 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.

Legal experts: Trump Aryam deal could violate emoluments clause. The USA chip agreement + World Liberty deal = significant conflict of interest.
Kathleen Clark: “A violation of the foreign emoluments clause, a bribe.” “A 5 alarm fire of federal govt being for sale.”

WSJ: “.. The deal marked something unprecedented in American politics: a foreign government official taking a major ownership stake in an incoming U.S. president's company."

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

“What verdict will history render on those many moments of cowardice and silence from journalists who fell into line with the genocidaires? What will it mean to look in the mirror and realize that, when it mattered most, they chose career safety and complicity in genocide denial?”
Israel’s Military Now Accepts 70,000 Killed in Gaza – But Why Did Our Media Let Them Get Away With Denying It for So Long?
I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

“We’re looking, we’re reviewing everything and will come out with a determination,” he tells WSJ. Won’t say whether the officer who killed Alex Pretti did the right thing.

Just as everyone predicted with the exception of Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last 3 knew they’ve been lying, not sure with Orange Caligula because he’s a moron and a liar so in his case it could be either one or both.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

As mentioned 10 months ago, Xi, Putin, Trump have what appears to be a tacit agreement where Trump pillages the western hemisphere--venezuela, Mexico, Cuba. Canada and Greenland are a tougher ask, cuz their y'know white.

In their unholy triad scheme, they want to carve up the world with Putin (European region), Xi (East) and Trump hopes he'll be the Western dictator. bsky.app/profile/cspa...
David Brooks describes Trump, Putin, and Xi carving up the world in a "ruthless mafioso" power sharing triad. A tacit agreement where Europe is Putin's domain, and the USA would not interfere, similar to the East and Xi.
