(📢) BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump and Elon Musk Friend/Ally Vladimir Putin Has Eyes, Brain, and Larynx Ripped Out of Captured and Tortured Ukrainian Journalist; MAGA Hero Putin Returns Journalist's Body in Condition Almost Impossible to Identify As Female theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…
Journalists must stop playing games with American fascism.
The Trump Administration is a congregation of monsters, and it seeks to appeal to a voting base that is either already wholly monstrous or getting there.
If you cannot see what's happening in America, *quit journalism*.
Putin is the closest thing Earth has to a demon. The fact that Donald Trump and all of his aides, allies, agents, associates, attorneys and advisors, including and perhaps most especially Elon Musk, have tried to suck up to him despite knowing what he is tells us what *they* are.
The only thing this Ukrainian journalist ever did was try to tell the world what Putin was doing in the dark. For that she needed not only to die but to suffer interminably. Those of you who think Donald Trump and Elon Musk are cut from different cloth need to wake the hell up.
We are already nearly ten years past the point at which Donald Trump publicly said that if a terrorist has a baby, America should murder that baby; that if a terrorist has a four-year-old, America should murder that four-year-old.
Everyone in America knows exactly what Trump is.
Musk has urged poor whites to have as many children as possible so that he can enjoy more far-right voters and customers when he reaches retirement age.
Meanwhile, he seeks to *cut all the social services these voters will rely on* once having too many kids puts them on welfare.
Every day, U.S. journalists watch these men act as animals—moral monsters—and then make the decision to fail to be upfront with their readers about that objective fact.
Instead, they're more likely to attack those of us who speak the plain truth all the extant evidence supports.
Putin was an international pariah with everyone but the most evil men alive until Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who also happen to be two of the most evil people alive, did everything they could possibly do to bring Putin back to respectability, even as he kept murdering thousands.
Then again, what are thousands of innocents murdered by Putin when measured against the hundreds of thousands his illegal wars have killed? And what are those several hundred thousand against the *over half a million* Trump killed during the pandemic through deliberate inaction?
When you put malignant narcissistic sociopaths like Trump and Musk in power and daily demonstrate to them that they're above the law, there's no question of the result—mass death of innocents—only its means and timing.
If you're a journalist and can't see that, quit journalism.

I wonder how many Americans realize that Bribery is one of just two impeachable offenses specifically enumerated in the U.S. Constitution and the case that Donald Trump has now committed that crime dozens of times in his second term is a legal slam dunk.
So shall we get started?
To be very clear, I'm not saying that there is a single federal elected official within the Republican Party who believes in this country or cares about this country or honors our rule of law and would vote to impeach.
I am saying that fact must be the national conversation now.
The case for impeachment is not academic, hypothetical, partisan, opaque, obscure, confusing, highly technical, or any other adjective denoting a distance from the lived reality of every American.
President Donald Trump has openly committed Bribery, and we all watched him do it.
(📢) COMMUNITY NOTE: The human population is growing—rapidly. It's projected to keep growing for many decades, until at least 2100. Then it will decline slightly, per experts, but to a level still far beyond now. What Musk MEANS but refuses to SAY is WHITE fertility is declining.
Let me be much clearer: anyone who says they are worried about the human population declining is a white supremacist.
The only basis anyone could have for being worried about birth rates would be a bigoted fear of non-white persons significantly outnumbering whites.
Full stop.
But even if we just look at the population of Europe, it's absolutely *exploded* since 1950—despite the fact that at two points in the last 75 years it declined.
This suggests that even if or as it declines significantly between now and 2100, it's just returning to those levels.
Hi, I speak Trump Administration fluently and am here to help.
What Steven is saying is that Trump has recently lost weight because he's suffering from a major medical event and ongoing serious medical condition he's hiding from voters.
Just invert the words and you've got it.
The other thing to remember about speaking Trump Administration is that the angrier they are, the more important the truth they're speaking by shouting the opposite of it is. So apparently this medical condition is really really bad, and the White House is really scared about it.
Some may ask, Seth, as a journalist, how did you learn Trump Administration? And why can so few in media speak it?
The answer is simple: I spent years reading messaging from Trump's political ops, and observed that the truth is always exactly the opposite of what they say it is.
Hey, @PeteHegseth, just because you were born a shitheel doesn't mean you have to spend your life as one. Accept that you have a problem with drinking and women and that the job you now hold is way beyond you. Accept also that it's on *you* for taking the job, not on anyone else.
Pete needs family and therapy, not one of the highest-stress jobs on Earth. He doesn't engage in self-care because he's such a narcissist that he can't accept his flaws. His anger is self-loathing, his accusations are projection, and he doesn't have the heart of a public servant.
Humanity has thousands of years of data on what makes a good leader: someone who performs best under stress, who has great empathy and self-knowledge, and has both respect for process and temperance. Hegseth has none of these...but may not be smart or courageous enough to see it.
(🚨) COMMUNITY NOTE: All of this is a lie being told by a would-be dictator to obscure the fact that he is kidnapping and exiling US residents without due process. This image is crudely doctored, and no court has ever found Garcia to be an MS-13 member or that he harmed his wife.
1/ Garcia *fled* from gang violence in El Salvador when he was a minor, with a federal court finding in 2019 that he was non-removable to El Salvador on the grounds that he is a *victim* of gang violence likely to be killed if returned El Salvador.
He is a permanent US resident.
2/ Years ago, the US citizen Garcia is happily married to filed for a temporary restraining order, i.e. a court order granted "ex parte"—without both parties present—and without due process. She never pursued it further, so Trump is lying about a court finding he harmed his wife.
This was a potential outcome discussed at length in my pinned report.
The Court demands signs of effort but not a result—a win for the Trump administration, as it appears to confirm its theory that Bukele has control over anyone on his soil.
Do be careful in reading analysis of this case. Casual observers who aren't familiar with it will tell you this was a win for Garcia—and it certainly will be if Trump and his pal in El Salvador decide to save his life. But as a matter of the law going forward, this is a disaster.
The legal question was whether a human body comes under the control of a foreign dictator the moment that body is put on a plane to that country and the plane leaves the ground.
The implication of this decision is that the answer is yes. Which means the disappearances can start.
