We wanted to survey Gen Z Republicans but struggled with low response rates. So we set up a Discord server called "Hitler Was Right," and quickly found ourselves with a wide pool of subjects to interview.
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
WH official: “We want to seize all the oil from Iran. The long-term benefit is getting massive oil reserves out of the hands of terrorists.”
"The idea that we would surrender unconditionally, they should take such a dream to their graves. What we are committed to are international laws, humanitarian frameworks and the principles they claim to uphold. We will stand firm until our last breath to get our country out of this crisis."
President of Iran Pezeshkian apologized for striking neighboring countries blaming lack of regional coordination and stated the council has forbidden such strikes going forward. Then added:
Periodic reminder: Binance reportedly helped $1.7B flow to Iran-linked entities.
When internal investigators flagged it, Binance fired them.
Balance is a major business partner of Trump’s.
Props to @radiofreetom.bsky.social for telling the plain truth here:
"When you bomb a nation, kill its leaders, and call for its people to rise up, you’re engaged in war, and if you call for “unconditional surrender,” you are definitely at war."

Hegseth: "I only speak American"
The United States, which has placed the Gulf states in these difficult circumstances, must bear the economic consequences of its actions. It is only natural for the Gulf states to reconsider their previous investment agreements with it and to redirect their interests in a manner that preserves their security and stability. Major adventures always generate economic repercussions.
“Many outcomes of this war are uncertain. But a renewed generation of hatred towards the West is baked in.”
Purposefully murdering children is WRONG‼️
And Westerners will live with and bear that hatred for decades to come❗️

So…we’re NOT invading to protect the Iranians who protested the regime, like Trump claimed?
Now we’re going to kill them all instead?

These are not detention centers. These are torturous concentration camps. These are crimes against of humanity.
They are kidnapping good people. Not criminals.
These inhumane abuses MUST be stopped.
Do not fund DHS. Tear it down.
Fire the Republicans.
Every single one.

“Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death” sure sounds like nuke talk
Hungarian opposition leader Magyar accuses Orban of bringing in Russian military intel to rig the upcoming election. GRU operatives arrived weeks ago, same playbook as Moldova, he says. Magyar demands they be expelled and urges Hungarians to vote on April 12.
I can’t afford health insurance but sure go ahead and spend billions in my name bombing people who never did me any harm.

Latin America reacts with distress over Hegseth's sudden proclamation of regional hegemony and demand that Latin American governments either join the US military in illegally shooting drug suspects or the US military will operate on its own in (invade) their countries.
The White House is blocking the FBI and top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about new terror threats to the homeland tied to the war with Iran.

Serge Zaka: Over the past ten years, the pace of warming has reached about 0.35°C per decade, compared to about 0.2°C per decade between 1970 and 2015. The corrected data show that an acceleration in climate warming is now detectable since 2015, with a statistical certainty greater than 98%.
The new GOP nominee for TX-23 (San Antonio/West Texas) is a huge fan of the Führer.
"Senior Republicans privately expect Trump's administration to request tens of billions of dollars for the Middle East conflict and other military needs from Congress in the coming days, with some GOP lawmakers hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day on the war."

We’ll soon be measuring the Pentagon by the number of countries it’s NOT striking.

Trump: "I guess it would be illegal. Could you imagine? They spend millions and millions on a campaign. They're losing and they beg me for an endorsement. I give it, they win by 30 points. And I get nothing. If I could sell that -- is there a way? Is there a way I can get paid for that, Marco?"
Wisdom from Jesse Jackson’s service yesterday: “You don’t forgive because they deserve mercy. You forgive because you deserve peace. Forgiveness is an emancipation.”
"I have a career on the internet doing comedy," Mr. Herrera told The New York Times. "If their strategy is going to be clutching their fake pearls, and they don't know the difference between jokes and what I actually believe, then this is going to be a very annoying few months." In his video of the Nazi submachine gun, Mr. Herrera calls the weapon the "original ghetto blaster" and "Hitler's street sweeper" and marches to a Nazi-era German war song.
I don’t know what it means about my brain right now, but I LOLed at this.

Donald J. Trump C @realDonaldTrump Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, "Thank you President Trump." I have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
A child speaks.
Trump doesn’t want Americans to know they’re in danger because he’ll look bad.
“The Americans could find themselves retreating to the strategic incoherence that has characterized the administration’s approach…military prowess cannot clarify America’s war aims. As the old saying warns: If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social
It has been over two years since Markwayne Mullin challenged someone to a cage match in the middle of a US Senate hearing. Why won’t the Democrat Party acknowledge this?
