It feels like a first post should be memorable but less than 48 hrs after the US decided to embrace fascism, I don’t think I have it in me. So, I’m here to keep listening and learning, to keep supporting and amplifying the good voices, and to keep sharing my own opinions.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.
Just did. Thanks for the heads up.
Reminds me of an eye test.

1) Trump says he wants peace in Ukraine, makes some noises about maybe doing something that pressures Russia to really negotiate

2) Trump gets positive press for it despite not doing anything

3) Trump talks to Putin, backs off any real pressure, parrots BS that Russia wants peace

4) Repeat step 1

A massive corporation openly stole a bunch of public money. And the government is not outraged.

We should all be livid.

"It's tempting to think of Trump as sui generis—a unique phenomenon that came out of nowhere due simply to the strength of his personality. But the truth is that while his force of personality might be unique, the tactics he’s using to lend legitimacy have been carefully cultivated for a long time."
New in PN: How the Supreme Court taught Trump to rewrite history

"If you’re wondering where Trump learned the trick of recasting American history as uniquely belonging to him, look no further than the current Supreme Court’s manipulation of the core legal principle of stare decisis."

vance to his kids: “it is okay to tell your friends you love hitler as long as you don’t get caught”
It's telling that Vance's first instinct following the Politico leak was to tell his sons to be wary of what they write in group chats--to assume “some scumbag is going to leak it in an effort to try to cause you harm.”

His message here is basically--be racist; just don't get caught.

The U.S. spending $20B to bail out Argentina seems completely random until you find out that hedge fund billionaires bet on their right wing government’s doomed economic plan and could lose a lot of money.

So this is actually a U.S. hedge fund bailout which explains why Trump cares.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

I thought Canada was divesting itself of American Fascist investments? 🤔 care to comment @mark-carney.bsky.social?
Some digging around the internet and there is no proof that this is an unaltered photo. Even the photo you posted doesn’t show the source. I should have said it appears to be AI or photoshopped.

Donald Trump pardoned the “Camp Auschwitz” guy, dined with Holocaust deniers, and said, “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.” The Young Republicans chat isn’t a coincidence. It’s a culture.

This must rank as one of the more hilarious headlines I have seen in a long time.
Nothing like the political media in Ottawa for continually missing the moment as we watch democracy and the rule of law disintegrate on our unguarded border.
