Just as it did during the rise of the Nazis a century ago, the New York Times is twisting itself in knots to avoid calling fascists fascists. Germany’s AfD is not a “party that downplays Nazis.” It’s a neo-Nazi party.

I avoided visiting Dachau when I was in Bavaria some years back because I was afraid it would haunt me and ruin the rest of the vacation. Meanwhile, this fucker looks like me walking into Toy R Us when I was 7 years old.

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator
Trump’s decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico may be upsetting to some, writes @giladedelman.bsky.social, but “in a democracy, values are determined by majority rule, and they don’t shift in only one direction. They can shift back”:
‘The Gulf of America’ Is the Wrong Fight to Pick
The more that politicians mess around with place names, the more important it is to respond according to consistent principles.

www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/p... how will this be efficient? This is going to cost us money to fly them to Guantanamo Bay and then cost us again to fly them to their own country. No wonder this idiot 🙄 went bankrupt multiple times
Trump says he’s ordering Guantanamo Bay to be prepared to host up to 30,000 migrants | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he will sign an executive action ordering the federal government to prepare the US Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to house tens of thousands of migrants.

I'm told TikTok's host (Oracle) and CDN (Akamai) brought it back online today because Trump assured them they'd not be subject to penalties - something he can't entirely promise.
Whatever one's feelings on the ban's merit, they're defying federal law based on a not-yet-president's word. Huge gamble

Counting the days until Israel breaks the ceasefire and blames it on Hamas.
And a "news" source calling Israelis hostages and Palestinians prisoners is guaranteed to repeat Israel's lies.

Wouldn't that be releasing 90 Palestinian hostages?
Why are Israelis hostages and Palestinians prisoners? Language matters, and this language is designed to deceive. Israel holds many more hostages than Hamas does

After 15 months of war, a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip took effect Sunday morning, paving the way for a dramatic day that saw Hamas free the first of 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for Israel releasing 90 Palestinian prisoners, all of them women and children.
Gaza ceasefire begins with dramatic release of 3 Israeli hostages
Once the guns fell silent, Palestinians celebrated in the streets of Gaza while Israelis streamed into Tel Aviv’s “Hostages Square” to await their return.

Pay attention kids, this is how kleptocracy works…
Trump's proposal is to save TikTok is to give the federal government, run by him, direct control over TikTok. What could go wrong?

This is absolutely disgusting. If you have any friends or family still using Meta, encourage them to get off there. This kind of LGBTQIA+ hatred shouldn't be tolerated in a social media, and kids certainly shouldn't be exposed to it either. People need to all be treated as equals. #BoycottMeta
NEW: Meta (which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads) now says it allows “allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like ‘weird.’"
