Posted for no particular reason today: Hitler looking serious, wearing a business suit (no uniform, no swastika), meeting with President Hindenburg shortly after becoming chancellor on 30 January 1933. The German republic was handed over to a fascist authoritarian with the utmost civility.

"But what about Walz's military record?"

Let's talk about what Trump wants to do to transgender people

"Harris is inflating the size of her crowd!"

The Trump Hack Could Extend Far Beyond a Hack-and-Leak - emptywheel

The question of how to approach this news that Iran hacked Trump's campaign goes well beyond the question of whether to publish the documents allegedly stolen.

‘A scam’: Historian #TimothySnyder on #Trump’s disingenuous distancing from #Project2025

While Trump disavows Project 2025 on stage, his own policy plan, #Agenda47, overlaps w/its most extreme tenets. Yale #history prof & author Timothy Snyder says that the purging of civil servants from the govt, a policy pushed by both Trump & Project 2025, is the 1st step to establishing “the #cult of the leader.”
