Here's a comic idea for you: Lady Liberty jumping from a burning building into a firefighter's net; holding the net are the conservative Supreme Court justices, and the net is a justice's robe - but it has a huge tattered hole ripped in the middle of it.
I give you free and unrestricted use of this idea to use or discard as you will. π
The courts aren't going to save us this time.

Politico has been bought by the German facist publisher Axel Springer Verlag. This headline doesn't surprise me one bit.

IMO. Politico has always sucked. It just sucks worse now.

@Brynawel @GottaLaff @Wileymiller when was it bought? I read a week or so ago that it was owned by axel springer and was genuinely surprised - normally you can tell a mile off.

@Brynawel @GottaLaff @Wileymiller ah, was less lazy than 20 seconds ago, and checked Wikipedia:
In August 2021, Axel Springer SE signed an agreement to acquire Politico, including the remaining 50 percent share of its current joint venture Politico Europe, as well as the tech news website Protocol from Robert Allbritton for an estimated value of $1 billion.

And it was Springer-owned Die Welt in Germany which recently gave Elon Musk editorial space to promote the far-right AfD. Nazis need their media poodles.

I donβt pay much attention to Politico frankly. I read the Guardian some and articles you and others here share. I probably donβt have Politico in my feed much to see how far right they are so that headline seemed shocking.
