If Adolf Hitler were suddenly reincarnated and installed inside the American government, one of the first things he would do is start investigating organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The SPLC is America's early warning system for fascist, white supremacist takeovers of our country.
The bare minimum that must be done is that it must be made clear that these homicidal monsters aren't to be considered Jewish, Israeli, or noncombatants.
They're pirates.
And yet if you see how Netanyahu treats them, they get country club, white-glove legal/political treatment.
There's no meaningful distinction to be made between the Israeli settlers in the West Bank who burn, pillage, and murder at will—in fact, actively promoted, aided, and defended by Trump pal Benjamin Netanyahu—and ISIS.
Genocidal religious terrorists both.
Just curious—does this mean we're going to start investigating *all* assassinations (and attempted assassinations) of influential public figures to determine if foreign entities were involved in conducting or staging them?
That would be an... interesting... project.
Exactly the plan Trump has for America.
Trump admires the autocratic brute Modi for a reason, and it is the same reason Elon Musk does: none of the three men have any identifiable principles.
The Onion giving us the news we need
Great 🧵
We've all seen polls showing Trump's approval rating as low as 32%. Still seems high to me. So I dug deeper. Turns out people who still approve of Trump also approve of root canal, email spam, people driving slow in the left lane, pistachios that don't open, customer call centers in India and gnats.
The WH is now making up stories of Trump saving women in Iran, from execution, with AI photos. Talk about desperation!
And electoral college, etc!
It's a pleasure to read your many wise writings here, @conifergirl.bsky.social
I appreciate your knowledge, insights, and generous sharing of them.
THANK YOU! 🕊️👍🏼
Glaring hypocrisy!
During the two years I spent writing “American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America,” I encountered numerous mini-Trumps. These self-proclaimed pastors — very few had any formal religious training — preyed on the despair of their congregants.
The “liberal” commentators are shocked. It was reported yesterday that Graham Platner, the Democrat who’ll most likely win the primary to run for the US Senate from Maine, has staked out some “truly radical” positions. The former Marine combat veteran and oyster farmer has called for:

My favorite bit of trivia about Hung Cao is that when he ran for congress, he spent a chunk of time campaigning in the wrong district.
My G-d
The Navy goes from an incompetent in John Phelan who was appointed because he was a Trump donor
To Hung Cao-the apparent king of stolen valor who believes parts of America are being overrun by..witches and wiccans
Heaven help our sailors fighting Iran-on active duty in the Strait of Hormuz

As long as it's painful, please.
(🚨) OK, the time has come.
Everyone needs to read the 2020 bestseller Proof of Corruption, in which the man pictured below is a key antagonist trying to steal the 2020 election for Trump.
Don't care about the money here, just borrow it from the library.
Three GOP Reps who are anchored in reality and believe in sanity and their oaths to the Constitution could, working together, flip this whole f*cking thing on its head while there's still time. Same with 4 GOP Senators.
They would be forever remembered as heroes to Democracy.
I watched Trump's interview on CNBC this morning accompanied by two fact checkers. Three minutes into the interview the fact checker on my left got frazzled and quit. The fact checker on my right was scribbling furiously and typing notes. He's now in the hospital, recuperating.
HASSAN: Did the president approve your decision to fire all 17 members of the CDC's vaccine committee in June 2025?
RFK Jr: Uhhhhh -- you mean did I talk to him directly? We talked to the White House DPC
The acting head of the CDC has canceled publication of a study showing the Covid vaccine sharply cut hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.
F**kers.
I was just talking to my daughter yesterday about why we don't have better mass transportation. We were on the right track(yes, intended), but didn't know it was dismantled!
A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑
