the good news is the Trump administration knows they don't have enough U.S. Nazis to retain power.

the bad news is they're recruiting Nazis from abroad to help.

Paul Waldman @paulwaldman.bsky.social · 1h

So Nazis. They want to give refugee status to Nazis.

OK, maybe not JUST Nazis. Also certain other white people who hate non-white immigration. But Nazis can definitely come.

The proposals also advise Mr. Trump to prioritize Europeans who have been “targeted for peaceful expression of views online such as opposition to mass migration or support for ‘populist’ political parties.”

That appeared to be a reference to the European far-right political party Alternative for Germany, whose leaders have trivialized the Holocaust, revived Nazi slogans and denigrated foreigners. Vice President JD Vance has criticized Germany for trying to suppress the views of the group, which is known as the AfD.

Substitute "Americans" for "New Yorkers" and "nation" for "city" and Mamdani is STILL right. Take notes Democrats!

Mamdani: We need to make this a city every person chooses. And the key ways of doing that are actually delivering quality of life, public safety, and affordability. We have a broken status quo. What's on the ballot is whether New Yorkers want to continue that, or actually want a city they can afford

You should always have Donald J. Trump eulogize you, because you can be absolutely, without-a-doubt certain he will make it about how awesome he is and how much you agreed.

The MAGA-GOP is terrified because they know everything they've done is deeply unpopular—to say nothing of how they've done it—and that there are far more of us than there are of them. This weekend, we should demonstrate in no uncertain terms that is true. #NoKings ❌👑

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

I appreciate the way Gov. Mills has stood up to the Trump regime and respect her experience, but if I were a Maine voter, I'd rather see her support the much-younger Graham Platner and give him the advice and connections he can use to beat Susan Collins.
