- Nazi propaganda portrayed the Sturmabteilung (SA or Storm Troopers) not as agents of terror, but as the essential, disciplined guardians of safety, order, and national renewal.
- Reposted by Bill ReshThis shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.
- I was on BBC News yesterday to talk about the latest shutdown (taking place at least over this weekend) to tell overseas audiences, once again, why we repeatedly go through this. You can find the audio here: drive.google.com/file/d/13C7m...

- We now have a cabal in leadership positions that abetted a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. Now our states have to conduct at least 2 national elections in the face of active meddling and obstruction, all to appease a sundowning clown's fragile ego. This is banana republic madness.

- Trump administration drops legal appeal over anti-DEI funding threat to schools and colleges. This leaves in place a federal judge's ruling that the anti-DEI effort violated the First Amendment and federal procedural rules. (Via AP) apnews.com/article/dei-... #ncpol #nced
- Welcome, global audience watching the World Economic Forum, to our daily hell of listening to the stream of incoherent nightmares conjured by Trump's babble.

- Reposted by Bill ReshBRENNAN: What percentage of those you have in custody have committed crimes? NOEM: 70% of them B: It's not 70% N: Yes it is. You guys pick and choose numbers B: Your agency says 47% have criminal convictions N: Wrong again. We'll get you the correct numbers B: Well, that's from your agency
- Reposted by Bill ReshThe more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work. Really depraved shit.
- I talked with Bloomberg Law's Khori Atkinson about three legal cases that could determine whether statutory civil service protections can be overridden by presidential loyalty tests, consolidating presidential power over the federal workforce at the expense of a neutral, expertise-based bureaucracy.
- Is there anyone who could unequivocally say that NATO's Article 5 remains a credible commitment by this administration? Americans who aren't paying attention have no idea how cataclysmic an open threat to annex Greenland is to security of the United States and it's allies. 1/3
- The tragedy in Minneapolis was as inevitable as it was unnecessary. This administration is at war with quite literally *most* of the people it's supposed to represent. They are arming thousands of pretend "patriots" who are cosplaying soldiers and law enforcement to terrorize communities. 1/3

- Exactly! The fact that they're able to pull off these isolated assaults successfully isn't remarkable. The US military & intelligence agencies have long had the capacity for these things. It's the irresponsible, illegal, & incompetent activation of those capacities that is remarkable & dangerous.

- This is a complete and naked abdication of commitment to our allies and all the world is aware. This republic and its former standing in the world is dead. There is no redemption from this administration forward. We are definitively weakened and the scraps of this empire have already been sold.

- Currently hooked on "Mussolini: Son of the Century" on MUBI. It strips away the myth and exposes a hollow showman driven almost entirely by self-preservation and power. It may also be the most singularly relevant entertainment at any point in the last 20 years.
