This is the end game for fascists everywhere: Mass murder of their designated scapegoats. For the Nazis, it was Jews, homosexuals, dissidents. For MAGA, it's immigrants and transgender people. If you put no brakes on fascists, this is where they take you.

Tonight in full rebellion against AI generated slop, I cracked Ulysses. On my shelf for a decade, and I’ve fallen into step with Stephen Dedalus.

I can finally tell you all about this project that has consumed my life. I am so excited to announce this searchable dark money database aimed at exposing political influence networks. This is just the first phase of the project too. We have big plans.

Vladimir Putin is not a “humanitarian.” He’s an evil killer and dictator. He’s the very antithesis of a humanitarian. Any American in any position of power who believes Putin is a humanitarian should not be in a position of power.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Of course.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Spread this.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

David S. Bernstein @dbernstein.bsky.social

Republican US Rep Brian Fitzgerald tweets that he will introduce a bill to block purchases of Russian oil. Don Bacon (R-Neb) tweets that he will co-sponsor. Obviously this won’t happen during campaigning recess (and Trump could veto anyway) but interesting push-back on Trump.

They are allied with Putin. They are traitors.

“Witkoff and Kushner raised the possibility that intelligence sharing could be cut off if Kyiv did not heed Washington’s warning to halt the strikes” on Russian refineries. “It was a firm request from POTUS. “Hours later, Ukrainian forces struck the Yug Rusi oil terminal in Rostov-on-Don.”

With agreeing to purchase Russian diesel, the orange felon, MAGA regime and fascist republicans will now be funneling American dollars directly to murderous Dictator Putin’s war against Ukraine and have all but cemented their treason against the United States. This isn’t a presidency, it’s a coup.

It is an atrocity. Whether you call it a genocide or not feels like a stupid argument. It's an atrocity. Oct 7 was an atrocity -- and this response to it is also an atrocity.

America is literally deporting people to countries they have no connection with, countries they’ve never been to. This is wildly unlawful. It’s cruel. It’s un-American. It’s evil.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

This is the sick part. The number of Americans who don’t give a shit if Trump shreds the Constitution until they have to pay more for gasoline.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and Amy Walter hear from 2024 Trump voters who once brushed off the scandals and corruption, until the economy turned against them. “As long as the economy is good, they don’t care that he does all of that other horrible stuff.”

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

Yesterday I tried to fast track my bill to ban data center development on public lands, like this one in Oregon. Republicans blocked it. In case there was any doubt, it’s clear Republicans are all in on Trump’s plan to hijack your public lands for data centers.

So many innocents sacrificed to fascism.

So much of what we are confronting today is best understood by the actions undertaken by white communities in response to integration orders. White supremacy is a form of democratic nihilism.
