Because of what’s happening in my own country, I feel inexorably drawn to the history of the Third Reich.
It’s not because I think Trump is Hitler. He’s not. It’s because that period (1933-1945) taught us so many important lessons about human nature that are relevant today. 1/🧵

Centrist Elite GasLighting US on what happened during COVID (big mistakes by Trump & mass excess death in Republican states, now all about if Democrats went too far) AND Biden (wildly effective economic policy reduced to Biden was unpopular so it did not work) as if we did not just live through it.

That’s a whole lot of people ready to stop the corruption and BS in Washington, and fight for a better South Carolina.

But the Michigan electorate sure sent a message to Biden 😔
The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

Think of Trump’s global tariff war as his very own Operation Barbarossa—except it isn’t going to go as well.

But we still haven't seen Hillary's emails!
Without a doubt, one of the wildest stories ever. A little over a week ago, the national-security adviser inadvertently added @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social to a group chat with the VP and others to plan an attack on the Houthis.

Dedicate your life to government service and some 20 year old is coming up with some software so they can just fire you using AI and not even look at your work or what you do. This is all so fucking stupid.

Engineers for Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, are working on new software that could assist mass firings of federal workers across government, sources tell WIRED.

NEW memo from OPM acting director Chuck Ezell saying that fed employees should respond to the 5 bullets email by the 11:59pm deadline tonight unless they had an excused absence today. Absolute madness.

I blame the both sides bullshitters of the past four years for what's happening today. If they think what's happening now is good, they'll take that as a compliment; if not, they'll take offense. Either way, let them.
