A lot of people with huge follower counts have been following me lately, so I feel compelled to say this.

Hi. I'm not going to follow you back, especially if I don't recognize you. I doubt you're really here to watch me talk about packing up my books so I can move house, but you never know.

Re Graham Platner: A lot of folks are just now realizing how much our military’s culture is deeply right-wing and regressive—a place where Nazi and white nationalist iconography are commonplace (even if sometimes not recognized by the troops themselves).

This was literally last year:

Army investigating social media post showing Nazi symbol

The Army opened an investigation after a National Guard unit posted a photo online that contained a symbol worn by Nazi SS troops.

apparently it’s time for another reminder that straight white men also have identity politics, *even the ones on the left*, and we are seeing that very much in action with regards to the Pod Save America bros defending fellow bro Graham Platner

My favorite tried-and-true resistance tactic: Being Extremely Fucking Annoying.

Newspaper clipping headlined "!2 Boys Rout Fascists." Twelve boys, some of them less than 10 years old, went to Weymouth beach and barracked Mr. Robert Saunders, a Fascist speaker. He ignored them, so they went away and returned with toffee tins half filled with stones. Using the tins as rattles, they made so much noise that Mr. Arthur England, a 63–year–old Weymouth magistrate and superintendent of the beach, approached to stop them. A crowd of holidymakers, sympathising with the children, booed Mr. England, and a sock filled with sand caught behind the ear. In the sand battle that followed the Fascists were pelted off the beach.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Trump 2.0 remains a live experiment in "can you do authoritarian consolidation entirely based on control of the information environment while repeatedly kicking your own coalition in the teeth"

(I don't know what the answer is! the experiment is ongoing!)

the king blames his subjects for complaining about his policies hurting them

The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don’t understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil. If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years — Terrible! It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!

yes, Trump could technically waive all of them in order to get started on a quick demo and build, BUT the thing that he'd have to waive would easily be potentially *yeeeeaaaars* of due diligence & planning. so the possibility that he simply told all the nerds & planners to fuck off is pretty high.

these are some really quick markups I sent to a former coworker over chat yesterday, and it's VERY difficult to draw any conclusions about what all was happening here without actually knowing plans, but yes, I see some very big hints that they actually fucked up what was *supposed* to be a partial.

“To summarize: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket. 1. We must take the profit out of war. 2. We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war. 3. We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.”

Awful: Trump's $230 million shakedown from DOJ can be paid to him confidentially at first, without the public ever finding out about it until later, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me.

Raskin will formally demand full communications between WH and DOJ on this.

New from me:

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse

It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

Nazism has alwasy circled around American politics in weird ways.

In 1985, Ronald Reagan laid a wreath at a German cemetery where Nazis were buried while saying they "were victims, just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps."

I feel like people missed this. On the $230 million shakedown, when Trump said, "I'm the one that makes the decision," he accidentally confirmed that he is appropriating for himself the power to order Todd Blanche to approve it:
