The NYT's Zohran Mamdani hit piece crosses a line for me as a journalist. here's @lopatto.bsky.social's clear-eyed take on the genuine travesty of it all www.theverge.com/culture/7000...

National Day of Action DC

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

Hard to overstate the level of contempt in this coverage of national protests in which 5 MILLION Americans were out on the streets. @theatlantic.com exuberantly, proudly, dead wrong here. Protests work.

The is the Trump political appointee in charge of explaining why all the people axed in DOGE firings were dead weight or bad employees. Spends her day posting fashion influencer outfit pics with affiliate links. www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/p...

In the same way that Musk’s “send me a screenshot of your code” email to X employees showed his overwhelming ignorance of software, blaming Ukrainian IPs for a DDoS attack displays his vast ignorance of networking. Hint: the first “D” is for “distributed.”

Anonymous -
Trump ordered the dismantling of the landing platform at Rzeszow airbase in Poland, the US has broken down warehouses and torn apart slabs of concrete on the runway to prevent further aid transports to Ukraine. Trump has no intention of resuming US aid to Ukraine. #cdnpoli

NIH budget: $ 48b
Musk wealth: $351b

Both are mostly funded by your tax dollars

But only one might save your life

Wow, JD Vance is so much worse than I thought.

When I visited the Yad V’shem museum in the 1980s with a Danish guy who lived through the Nazi occupation, he told me that Danish families still knew - 40 years after the war - who collaborated. They taught their kids. We need to remind the Targets of the world that we won’t forget.

This is a hell of a video and extremely relevant with Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Republicans slashing life saving jobs. Another round of layoffs at the VA: 1,400 more people.

Putin also has a long history of involvement with organized crime, starting from his KGB smuggling work in Dresden and continuing through corrupting the oil for food program in the St. Petersburg mayor’s office. www.thriftbooks.com/w/putins-peo...

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

Just a reminder: the draft-dodger saluting during the anthem thinks our Veterans and Troops are suckers and losers.

Never forget.

I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...
