Thursday. What a concept.

Donald Trump responds to John Kelly, calling him a "lowlife" and a "bad general" -- but makes no denial about the Hitler comments.

"Shootings are a fact of life," says JD Vance while standing behind bulletproof glass with the world's most capable bodyguards

The question of what Trump does in a possible second term depends very heavily on who he puts into positions of power and how pervasively he does so. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/02/22/trump-second-term-extremism/

Mike Johnson has also voted for some of the most hateful anti-LGBTQ bills that have come up in the House. https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/10/25/mike-johnson-republicans-name-anti-lgbtq-politician-as-new-house-speaker-nominee/

"... Even worse, their framing seeks to shut down and destroy the free speech rights of academic organizations that are studying how disinformation spreads. For all their talk of supporting free speech, the inclusion of the (misrepresented) Twitter Files is literally the opposite: an attempt to silence debate, research, and exploration in how to respond to nonsense—the very nonsense many of those who signed the Westminster Declaration make their living spreading."

Genetic testing company 23andMe said Friday that it believes some of its users' data was compromised in a credential-stuffing attack and is being circulated on a dark-web hacking forum.

In 2019, ProPublica revealed stark inconsistencies between what the #Trump Organization had reported to #tax authorities and what it told lenders about the finances of one of its towers.

This week, a judge ruled the company had committed #fraud.

“Pushing the snooze button solves nothing, because these same losers will try to pull the same shit in 45 days.” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) in a statement.

Truth--& probably one of the main reasons I've always been a night person. #NightPeople #Moonlight

Ok friends I need you to listen closely:

Elon Musk doubling down and compounding his bad decisions is NORMAL. This is how rich assholes behave.

This is how they ALL behave.

We're going into a climate crisis. One that requires immediate action. We have unprecedentedly unchecked corporate power structures and an elite that has zero understanding.

And they will make WORSE decisions the more they are pressed.

The rich will destroy the world rather than admit they don't know what they're doing.

Okay. So we all understand that the Supreme Court has become a right-wing ideological political institution under Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh, & Roberts. They're for sale & illegitimate. Now, we have to beat them in the executive branch & the legislature.

IF KISSINGER OUTLIVES TWITTER I AM GOING TO HAVE A FUCKING BREAKDOWN

I like how Twitter is now The Producers in that its owner is actively trying to sabotage it and also there are Nazis

Why bother banning books when you can just defund Libraries? "Ignorance is an enemy, even to its owner." https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3wgv5/missouri-voted-to-defund-public-libraries-book-bans

⚠️ Via Sherrilyn Ifill:

This is a VERY SERIOUS situation unfolding in #Nashville. Reps who stood w/their constituents who came to state house to demand #guns safety are facing expulsion from the House. Their Member ID badges have already been turned off. This is how #democracy ends.

Olivia Julianna:

...The Tenn. legis is planning to expel lawmakers who stood w gun control advocates today.

They've been stripped from committee assignments & their member ID’s shut off

THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

The #iPhone and I have been together through enough cycles now that its voice-to-text function should really know that I never mean poles. Also, I don’t say ducking a lot.
