Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

to be fair, the press corps just sits there and takes it, so hard to blame the right for treating them this way. whats the downside?

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

This is my basic theory for a lot of what is going on with the centre right atm

The ideas failed utterly and now there is a total crisis of intellectual confidence

Indy @indy.bsky.social · 2d

It nags at me that people are dancing around the fact that one reason centre-right think-tanks are in an intellectual crisis moment is because we've spent over a decade where lots of their ideas were tried out and didn't pan out as advertised.

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

Is there any mention in all the reporting of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance brouhahah of Puerto Rico's colonial history and present? They are talking of revoking his citizenship, can't think of anything more colonial.

2. Still, the remarkable fact is this: a far-right US President and the Israeli PM of the most right-wing government in Israel’s history now endorse a two-state solution (point 19 of the plan) and put an end to annexation fantasies.

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

Politik, gerade US-Politik, kann nicht rassistisch sein, das hat man so über Jahrzehnte erlernt und wenn ein Stephen Miller daher kommt und offen sagt, was das Ziel seiner Politik ist, dann muss man Erklärungen finden, warum das, was er sagt, ganz anders zu verstehen ist. Neo-Schmittianismus.

Ein großer Teil der US-Regierung findet es sehr offensichtlich gut, dass nicht-weiße Menschen sterben, weil man ihnen nicht mehr hilft und reden auch darüber, aber in den Redaktionen ist es weiterhin irgendwie "pöbelhaft", das so direkt zu benennen und das ist Teil des Problems.

Meanwhile, OpenAI is being sued because its chatbots encouraged a child to kill himself. It helped a mentally unwell veteran to kill his mother. As @hypervisible.blacksky.app but it, OpenAI is nothing less than a "social arsonist." And it's plowing ahead to keep the bubble inflated.

Die Drohnen haben eine Schneise für den armierten Omnibus des Bundesinnenministers geschlagen.
www.deutschlandfunk.de/gesetzentwur...

Zur Bekämpfung von Extremismus und Schleuserkriminalität soll die Bundespolizei künftig Telefone abhören und Standort- sowie andere Nutzerdaten erheben dürfen, etwa um die Einreise von Extremisten zu verhindern oder Schleuserrouten aufzudecken. Vollziehbar Ausreisepflichtige soll sie festhalten dürfen, wenn sie diese in ihrem Zuständigkeitsbereich aufgreift.
Außerdem sollen Bundespolizisten Menschen in Gewahrsam nehmen können, wenn die Gefahr besteht, dass sie gegen ein Ausreiseverbot verstoßen. Dies könnten etwa Extremisten sein, die sich Kämpfen in Kriegsgebieten anschließen wollen oder gewaltbereite Fußballfans, die zu einem Auslandsspiel wollen.
