Exactly. We did not ask Bannon for an interview when he was Musk ranting — you’d think it would be my arena — because it’s like asking Red Skull what he thinks of Thanos.
Reminder that a month ago Politico did a puffy soft focus interview with Steve Bannon, who today literally threw up a Nazi salute at CPAC. Inexcusably terrible editorial judgment at the time and looks even worse now.
Politico/C-SPAN is featuring Steve Bannon on its programming this morning. Was Alex Jones busy?

Cette semaine, Bernard Arnault pleurnichait sur les impôts en France. Le même jour, les services de Bercy ont sorti une note : "Revenus et patrimoine des foyers les plus aisés en France."

Bernard Arnault gagne en une année le salaire de 810 000 Français éboueur, infirmière ou professeur. Sa fortune a décuplé en dix ans, elle atteint 190 milliards.
Et c'est ce monsieur qui vient geindre et sa plaindre ? Un peu de décence déjà !

I respectfully disagree with Holt. Musk's overt Nazi salute was not an act of "self-sabotage" because it has cost Musk NOTHING. It was a successful demonstration of impunity.
“I’m skeptical it was on purpose,” said Jared Holt, a senior research analyst at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, which tracks online hate. “It would be an act of self-sabotage that wouldn’t really make much sense at all.”

Musk’s straight-arm gesture embraced by right-wing extremists regardless of what he meant
NEW YORK (AP) — The Anti-Defamation League, an antisemitism and human rights watchdog, called it an “awkward gesture” and urged caution in jumping to conclusions.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.
Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.
Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

How do autocrats stay in power?
Our new research dives into the strategies of political control—repression, co-optation, and indoctrination—used across 229 autocracies from 1946 to 2010. What we found will change the way you think about authoritarian resilience. 🧵👇

I and many others warned that the anti-CRT, anti-DEI propaganda campaign that so many embraced or down played was always about creating the narrative for and paving the way for a larger attack on civil rights. We are here.
Breaking: DOJ freezes all cases in civil rights division. "It’s unprecedented. We’ve never seen this before at this scale with any transfer of power, regardless of the ideology of any incoming president or administration." Story w/ @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Justice Department freezes all cases in civil rights division
The directives halt ongoing civil rights cases and could jeopardize police reform agreements finalized in recent months in Minneapolis and Louisville.
