Bill Ackman's tweets are the perfect proof of what arbitrary white privilege means: if any other person would have made the tiniest fraction of Trump's mistakes, he would have criticized them up to the point of making sure they are fired and never hired again...

The entire reason you curb the exercise of arbitrary power is it prevents one asshole's mood swings from wrecking an entire country! You don't praise it when it momentarily swings in your favor
Positive early Senate GOP reaction to Trump pausing his own tariffs:
“Terrific,” says Ted Cruz.
“Relieved “ says Ron Johnson.
“Great leadership,” says Eric Schmitt.
Susan Collins says it’s not enough and Congress needs to retake its power to impose tariffs from the executive.

So the people calling us the snowflakes are actually the snowflakes, quite the plot twist.
A huge swath of Silicon Valley is horrified by what Elon Musk is doing — but they’re increasingly afraid to say so.

You can see this in the increasing willingness to talk about how smart it is to lie to get what you want, how that is actually realpolitik, openly in the media read by the public.

Boykotların gelirlere etkisi zannedildiği kadar büyük değil, boykotun ciddi sinyali sembolik bir etki yarattı gibi, ve korktuklarıni belli etmiş oldular.

Faşist Elon köpeği Brezilya devletini tehdit edince, birçok hesap buraya gelmişti, hatta eski tweetleri buralara taşiyan app yazmışlardı. Elon takip ettiğimiz arkadaşların hesabini askıya alıyor ama halen oradayız :/

With a heavy heart, I have to explain again that this is because right wingers mostly do not police, badger, harass and denounce their own movement from the centre, because their careers are not 100% dependent upon forever suppressing right wingers who want the government to actually do things.

One lesson from the Iraq War is that when crazy people propose crazy plans, it doesn’t end well for anyone.

Is anybody surprised that Noah turned out to be such a bootlicking idiot? For years, he was playing the liberal card, only to show his true face when the fascists took over.

The key takeaway here: Given that they were going to treat you like this anyway, the workers at these tech companies should have violently attacked Andreessen and his cronies. Because that's the attitude they had towards you.
It is *morbidly* fascinating to see the world through Marc Andreessen’s paranoid eyes, in this Q&A
Deep inside his comments is this one
the executives at *multiple* tech firms felt they were at imminent risk of “violent riots” from their staff
I … what?

Be warned, when Hitler and Goebbels were shitting in their pants and pre-recorded their last talks, people were still praising their speeches (for decades), the fucktards Bild just called Elon's nervous blabber a "passionate" speech.

If nothing else, finally a death to the Democratic party I’ve known my whole life, that couldn’t tell the simple truth, that wouldn’t call a thing by its name or talk about the reality in front of its face. Good riddance to them all. May this final failure bring something worthy & powerful instead.

Blinken is going to be as hated as Kissinger. But Kissinger at least knew what he was hated for, and wore it on his sleeve. Blinken, with his soft spoken faux liberalism will never understand why. Or at least he will pretend not to understand.

This is in fact the Turkey scenario playing out
Double whammy for news independence here — you need the commercial stuff that isn’t journalism to fund all that reporting capacity, but it’s all the non-journalistic moneymaking stuff that now gives news owners the greatest vulnerability to an authoritarian presidency.
Holy cow. Executives at CBS’s parent company have discussed settling Trump’s lawsuit against CBS News/60 Minutes, because they need the Trump administration to sign off on a planned corporate merger. www.wsj.com/business/med...
