I’m supposed to believe both that trained and paid journalists couldn’t see through Project 2025 spin but also they’re the people best positioned to tell me what’s happening and how I should feel. Why? They failed at their jobs by their own admission.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

Begging you to talk to every random you know who has been ignoring this - do not trust these people, do not let your kids be on a list, there are no good intentions here. The best case scenario is chaos and interference with your family; the worst is murdered kids. Also vaccines don’t cause autism.

Even if it’s not in this exact way, your information has most definitely been compromised by DOGE activities. The best time to put a security freeze on your credit was January 19, 2025; the second-best time is now.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Five years ago I went undercover and met a bunch of guys who love Hitler at Turning Point USA.

Assuming the Magnificent Seven receive waivers, it seems likely to put downward pressure on wages for most Americans and lead to offshoring and/or generally smaller, slower projects (i.e., fewer jobs for people living in the US) at midsize/small firms, as well as startups.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

Indeed. Look up John Dingell+NRA for a surprising tale. The only outlet I’ve seen run a story on this is the NYT (& The Daily), but it’s worth a read/listen. youtu.be/9EgJSquCX9g?...

This is a way better response than all the performative posts decrying political violence while not mentioning the primary source and the fact that the right either ignores or celebrates violence against those who oppose them.

Melissa Hortman (Former MN Rep) Mark Hortman State Senator John Hoffman Yvette Hoffman David Rose Should all be mentioned along with Kirk since some people refuse to acknowledge that this ongoing problem is tacitly or actively encouraged by rhetoric and actions mostly coming from one direction.

ATLANTA (AP) — Judge says he'll toss the racketeering case against 61 people tied to protests over a training center called “Cop City.”

The speaker of the house just basically implied the president raped girls under the age of 16 and then tattled to save his own skin. I’m not saying we know that happened. I am saying that’s absolutely what the speaker is intimating.

1. On Saturday, a judge ordered Pulse pride crosswalk protester released from jail. Police arrested him after he chalked the bottom of his shoe in rainbow colors and walked across it. Sunday, police arrested 3 more under the same charges. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Citizen has always been intentionally fascist & designed to make people alarmed and encourages spying on neighbors. The sheer number of “shootings” it reports that are fireworks, people dropping things, cars backfiring etc because a certain subset of white people are horny to be scared is unreal

Oh look someone who destroyed countless lives, used religion for his own abusive ends, and deeply damaged this country has died. Never give fuckers like this power. Never let fuckers like this tell you what god is.

Great story to save to compare and contrast privileged encounters with the police versus how regular people are treated in viral videos. The “thugs” in this video are White, wealthy women, and at least one has a high-powered job. Take your pick on what part of that combo let them keep their teeth.

Nothing but musical chairs at this place. Cornell (current CEO) will take over as executive chair of the board, and Target’s current COO will become CEO. It will likely be business as usual.

Buttondown is now very loudly advertising on their landing page that they will do the newsletter migration for you if you want off the Nazi site. They did mine, and it was painless. The only pain point I've had is how Substack handled paid subscriptions–Buttondown fixed their mess.

Welp. If you voted for this and have regrets (or didn’t vote 🙃), it’s 100% too late to save everyone, but it’s not too late to save most people. Vote all of them out and vote out every single one of their local official supporters.

It’s deranged that so many companies are paying a vig to offer prime deals on Amazon and not extending those deals to their websites, where presumably their more loyal customers exist.

As an aside, I'm told multiple major outlets were not interested in this story and passed on covering it. Mind-boggling.

While it’s excellent that BSky now has native notifications, don’t count @bluenotify.app out yet. Their app has additional functionality, such as being notified about reposts and post activity from accounts that might be pertinent to you, but that you don’t wish to follow.

Praise be. Hopefully an edit button is coming next.

I dont blame you for missing that if you thought you weren’t directly impacted and only had the trashy and also racist New York Post for comparison. But the Times has always been deeply alarmed by both non-whites and by the whites that aren’t white enough for them.

Fuck yeah.

If you’re SCOTUS curious but don’t have it in you to read all the analysis of the opinions and court culture, you should check out the podcast: Strict Scrutiny (weekly) and the limited run series Contempt of Court. #expandthecourt

MSM once again failing everyone. The Scotus ruling is not on birthright citizenship. It is on nationwide injunctions.

Pure chaos. There are 13 federal appellate districts, meaning injunctions will likely apply and unapply depending on where an individual is at a given time. It’s long past time to expand the court.

And while news outlets are doing this, they’re also insisting that we have to save them from the authoritarianism being sanewashed, soft-peddled, or flat out ignored in their coverage

Same goes for every city, state, province, and country. “We recognize that the city’s problems come mostly from the people above, and not the ones sitting next to us on the subway.”
