You can really tell today who's read the Board of Peace charter and who hasn't.
On its face, this new Trump scam aims to replace the United Nations and effectively makes Trump Emperor of the World.
It also empowers him to name the next Emperor of the World—likely Jared Kushner.
How to recognize fascism when you see it, by the the Italian humanist and author Umberto Eco. This 14-point guide is taken from Eco's 1995 essay '𝗨𝗿-𝗙𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗺' – informed by his own experiences of Nazism in the 20th century.

Not sure how to read this as anything other than Trump's handpicked Director of National Intelligence betraying the United States and doing so to protect him from revelation of the fact that his regime is secretly working with a hostile foreign intelligence agency
On one hand, this is horrifying overreach that should never have gotten this far. The guardrails are shattered.
THAT BEING SAID, this is a spandex budget away from government-mandated, methed-out "superheroes," I've read that comic. That dystopia's been gamed out.

President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”
This is the most openly corrupt act by a sitting President in the history of America. It is now 4.40 PM - and Politico, WaPo and NYT are simply refusing to cover it. NYT wrote 35 articles speculating on the POSSIBLE corruption of Clinton Foundation. Which was never found.
I'm trying to resist paranoia but this is beyond suspicious. It's completely alarming. And I can't trust anything that suggests it was an accident or a natural death. Rest in power, Jessica Aber.

What in the Let Them Eat Cake is this bullshit? Has he actually been around old people?

Emily Austin @emilyraustin We went from kneeling during the National Anthem to a Halftime Show showcasing USA Flag colors! We're so back 8:38 PM • Feb 9, 2025
George @BehizyTweets A few years ago, they were endorsing burning the USA flag, and now Samuel L. Jackson is Uncle Sam at the Super Bowl. Hollywood is desperately trying to get America to pay attention to them again. 8:30 PM • Feb 9, 2025
Omar Navarro @RealOmarNavarro FINALLY a non woke Satanic halftime show Kendrick Lamar is showing off the American Flag I LOVE THIS 8:42 PM • Feb 9, 2025
Svishtakrit @svishtakrit We are so back... finally, NFL joins in celebrating US Flag instead of disrespecting during half time... pardon me if he said something offensive, but the flag display by the performers was amazing.. I didn't pay attention to lyrics... 8:37 PM • Feb 9, 2025
way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America
Things like this hammer home how genre unsavvy this administration actually is. There are movies about intelligence professionals who are pushed out of their positions by bad actors within the system. The bad actors within the system don't do well in those movies.

THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.
Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass
If you’re angry that Congress is idly standing by while Trump seizes absolute authority through brazenly illegal power grabs—restructuring the entire government around his own cruel and arbitrary whims by executive decree—you should call your representatives and tell them: 202-224-3121

There is a recent video doing the rounds online, that you might have heard of, but probably haven’t seen. Last I checked it had around 70k views, but two days ago it only had 421. 1/

With all respect to many talented and thoughtful journos within the system, big media has failed spectacularly.
If you want there to be F&SF fiction mags, we need to do something now, while Amazon is removing their support. Check out one mag's website today and support them, if you have the means. Or just RT this if you can't, because the situation is pretty dire.
