10% of Meta's 2024 ad revenue came from outright frauds and scams; the platform shows consumers 15 billion ads for fraud and scams every single day. This doesn't even include agitprop and AI slop. the existential collapse of this monumental pile of shit company simply can't come quickly enough

They’re going to have to rename it the “Defamation League” at some point. Absolutely disgusting stuff from ADL’s CEO yesterday on MSNBC that I would put in the category of “barely veiled Islamophobia.” He’s got nothing so he just does these nasty insinuations www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

…AND SO IT BEGINS!

Come for @michaelehayden.bsky.social and I breaking down big electoral victories for Democrats this week. Stay to hear us review an episode of Jesse Singal’s podcast that revealed more about his grift than the subject he and his co-host covered. www.patreon.com/posts/142916...

Paul Ingrassia, White House liaison to DHS and failed Special Counsel nominee, links to a defense of himself written by white nationalist Greg Johnson at Johnson’s Counter-Currents site.

Tomorrow on the PTI premium ep, Mike and I review big wins for Democrats in this week's elections. Then, we check in on Jesse Singal's anti-woke TERF podcast to hear how he and his co-host butchered their coverage of a white supremacist bullying campaign. www.patreon.com/posts/051-an...

the abject failure of centrist dems in an election that swung very blue otherwise nationwide should be a gigantic wakeup call that trying to tack to the right and "moderating" is a lost cause

Once these centrists step outside their elite bubble and start talking to ordinary Americans, they just might be surprised to find how few share their zeal for Democrats who are endorsed by Elon Musk and Stephen Miller

Zohran Mamdani’s victory means so much — including a 'fuck you' to the Islamophobic weaponization of antisemitism... @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/04/z...

Ok, being told this did not happen. Campaign saying you can't say that sort of thing because of woke, which has returned

happy 4th (of november)

Compare how Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL responded to Zohran Mamdani winning the mayoral election in NYC to how he responded to the Heritage Foundation mainstreaming actual neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

Early reports from the front lines of right-wing media tonight are starting to trickle in. We’re being told “hoes mad”

It is just nice for something good to have happened

this is objectively hilarious

Absolutely disgusting response from Turning Point USA's spokesperson here, who targeted some random teachers and rained hell on their lives because he couldn't fathom not trying to squeeze some more engagement bait out of his dead boss.

now that's what I call a Mamdani endorsement. Don't threaten New Yorkers with a good time, Dave. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Turning Point USA continues to carry on the sainted work of Charlie Kirk by singling out innocent high school teachers for death threats.

Is he really a "successor"? Or does he want to see himself that way? I think the distinction really does matter. Fuentes has repeatedly signaled that he thinks he can take over TPUSA—and has. But even on the surface, the differences between him and Kirk are pretty big www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/o...

This is such a good interview. I came away from it feeling like the balm to basically everything On Here™ is earnestness and positively.

No need to navel gaze about a fascist future, the antisemitic, Hitlerite youth of today’s GOP—led by Nick Fuentes—shows that we are already there. New from me: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

the bleakest moment in this article is the point where a heritage staffer, horrified by fuentes, discovers that "a growing number" of heritage interns are groypers

Just listened to the "Posting Through It" episode featuring @whstancil.bsky.social and, I must say, I'm a fan. Grounded conversations with @jaredlholt.bsky.social @michaelehayden.bsky.social about how to be a good person online. And also fascists suck. www.patreon.com/posts/050-ho...

This interview was good and Stancil is insightful about internet fame and parasocial relationships

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

This episode is fucking genius. Just a beautiful rebuttal to the way so many on the left get caught up in the dehumanization that social media encourages. Asking Will about bad dates and concerts. Important reminder that the people who get demonized online are actually just human.

ICYMI: Jared and I reported out the extremely surreal campaign against @whstancil.bsky.social. Find out why Marc Andreessen is hyping a cartoon created by a Neo-Nazi layabout here 👇🏽

ICYMI: We actually sat down and talked at length with @whstancil.bsky.social, a guy who takes an endless amount of online flak on social media. We talked about what it’s like to exist as a meme in the public consciousness, edm concerts, and more.

I unpacked the implications of Nick Fuentes' collaboration with Tucker Carlson and the former Fox News host's willingness to portray the white nationalist livestreamer as a victim. Someone wants him in the mainstream. Why? And what does it mean? postsfromunderground.ghost.io/on-tucker-ca...

The big man himself

Hey guys the Nazi group chat people think they can block Zohran from becoming mayor

I have to say, I really appreciated Jared and Michael for talking to me instead of just ABOUT me. One of the strange things about becoming a meme internet character is that everyone is always responding to a version of you that other people created; you lose control of your own identity in a way.

Regardless of what you think of Will Stancil—actually in particular if he’s rubbed you the wrong way online—you should listen to this bonkers story of what the far right is doing to him now. Really psyched for this episode to drop. 🫡

Will Stancil has received online hate for years, and things have taken a bizarre twist in recent weeks. For all the "discourse" about his online presence, few have actually tried talking to him. So we did. Next up on PTI, a long chat with @whstancil.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/050-ho...

So much discourse about "online radicalization" revolves around tales of random people getting their noggins cooked online. That happens, sure, but that brain rot seems to have completely engulfed GOP elites to extents not quite seen in other sectors of society. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Scoop: The Trump admin's videos boasting triumphs on immigration have used misleading footage from months ago or thousands of miles away When we showed them the errors, DHS said they make a lot of videos and the White House said it'll keep making "banger memes" wapo.st/4nuDGwf
