Trump's White House hates Americans so much they put their "paid for by the U.S. government" disclaimers right over images of Trump in the corrupt and illegal political ads they made with taxpayer money

Newsom is now the nation’s most prominent Trump Democrat — a governor aggressively using his power to empower & enrich Trump’s billionaires. If a Dem candidate successfully spotlights this in the 2028 presidential primary, they will have a shot to defeat him & win the nomination

There's a knowing position that insists the "AI could kill us" stuff is marketing. Maybe! Weird thing to gamble on, to insist that you're smarter about. Seems plausible when it comes in form of support for serious slowdown or pause. I find even this guy far too tepid. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/o...

An element of this purge that is perhaps overlooked is the long term impact. It’s not just 10% gone; it’s some huge number of fascist or fascist-friendly senior officers being put in positions that can last a long time.

Don’t think it would change my opposition a bit, but it’s a moot point. To put it in terms lately misappropriated by the fascist billionaires, AI is real one-ring-to-bind-them poison. It will corrupt everything. There are no “good guys with guns.”

I feel like the key takeaway here is worth highlighting: Inadvertently or otherwise, AI is already at least *trying* to write literal federal laws. Laws that, if passed, humans would be required to adhere to. Like, right now. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

Here’s the thing about Christ’s return. Christ said specifically that he would return as the naked, the hungry, the thirsty, the prisoner, the immigrant. Jesus has never stopped coming back. American Christians have never stopped killing him.

Every reporter who was on board Air Force One when Trump abandoned it as a decoy to be attacked knows exactly which administration staffers were also left as sitting ducks there. There's a real opportunity here to get some inside dirt from people who have every right to be bitter and spiteful.

These images get at the problem for me. Tacky? Sure, but so is that red carpet, which precedes Trump. Tacky I can abide. What's grotesque here is the gleeful sadism, the brutality, the misogyny, the monarchism, the cult of personality, the corruption, the cruel, loveless gaze.

My problem with the White House thunderdome isn’t that it’s “vulgar,” or “tacky,” qualities I often enjoy & terms which are often crudely classist when used pejoratively. My problem, as always, is the fascism. Don’t get distracted by taste, which is deeply subjective; it’s the fascism.

The conditions at the Mesa Gateway Airport ICE concentration camp are torturous. The severe overcrowding reported by Reps Ansari, Grijalva & Stanton earlier this month were about double the max capacity and people could barely sit down then. These numbers show its reached ~5x over capacity at times.
