Social media are simulacra created by 21st Century white nationalists and monied opportunists. Do not for one moment believe that you understand your neighbors, friends, and enemies based on what you read online. Your online life is a lie. Go out into the world and see the truth in other people.

Bari Weiss is America's Margarita Simonyan.

Yes! Absolutely! FFS YESTERDAY! Every major Western power needs to be all over this like white on rice. apnews.com/article/uk-c...

Ken Paxton is unscrupulous. He WiLL do anything--even if it's illegal--to cheat his way into power.

I need to see much more evidence than the word of one of Musk's exes, but if entirely true, it tracks.

This is the talk of white male privilege and detached cynicism. Never laud evil for its effectiveness. It will forever be evil, no matter how "consequential" it might be.

The UK is now suffering from the same foreign attacks on its information system as the US has for the last decade or more. Now Canada is experiencing the same regarding the Alberta independence movement. Are you a free nation with an open communications system? You're next.

This is pretty rich given all of the recent behavior of both CBS News and CBS Entertainment. Thanks, Sally Field. But CBS--do sit down.

We now all can see why he's always been an corrupt, incompetent businessman who used his lackeys to gloss over his stupidity for public view.

Has President Queeg started complaining about the missing strawberries from the WH kitchen, yet?

Robbery.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired of the Republican Party.

1. Social media should never have progressed unregulated. 2. News media should never have allowed liars into their prof. circle. 3. Cryptocurrency should never have been unregulated. 4. USINT should have jumped on foreign interference in 2016. 5. We need to admit that we can be manipulated.

I'm begging for one article--just one--that is "Trump says Iran war is worth the economic pain. These urban voters in Harlem say `We told you he'd screw everything up, why didn't you listen to us?'" Just one. Just one "diner" interview in a place w a density above 1 per 1000 sq mi and < 95% white.

Russia, China, Iran, Orban's Hungary, and others, joined with friendly Western pols and oligarchs in order to accomplish one thing: Destroy the post-war global order in order to invade nations, steal treasure, and subjugate others. It's not just the US, or Britain--it affects all of us. Wake up.

I want my BALLROOM!

Are there any broadcast network shows that you follow? Even in streaming? What are they?

Oh, @cbsnews.com--the things you'll do to please a little boy who can dish it but sure AF can't take it.

20% of your online communication on social media are likely bots or inauthentic accounts. Social media are not "social" in the least. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Former Musk partner discusses the pay for play world of far-right influencers. A lot of money for inauthentic messaging online. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

We need to create a constitutional amendment that says that all legislation must be enacted weighing its impact on the dignity of all human lives.

All those looking down on the US--there by the grace of God go you. The same monied, online forces that have been attacking the US for the last decade are doing the same number on Europe. All centrist leaders are getting the Biden treatment. Get wise and start pushing back.

My theory: Social media contain many, many bots posing as MAGA. Those bots have been funded by money funneled through Orban. Orban is now gone. So now far fewer MAGA bots are promoting far-right ragebait online. So the right wing ecosphere is starting to hemorrhage traffic.

The world's democracies continue to treat these attacks on their bodies politic like it's more of a major inconvenience of having digitized media platforms than the direct attack on the national sovereignty. Naming and shaming like this, which the US did back in 2016/2017, does little. Fight back!

Obama really burned you this badly, didn't he, Republicans?

Gift link: Bravo, ABC, for standing up for civil rights! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/b... Let's thank them: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/art...

What did you think that the Robert E. Lee beards and hudsucker suits were for? Republicans are mishmash cosplaying out Reconstruction-Jim Crow-racism fantasies.

It is now obvious for everyone to see that Republican-appointed judges on the US and state supreme courts no longer ascribe to a fair adjudication of the law, but rather, for their own aggressive, selfish lust for power. They should no longer be viewed as legitimate stewards of our legal system.

📢 One of the consequences of the unexpectedly rapid collapse of the Orbán regime is the collapse of the propaganda media. A few Fidesz strongholds are still holding out, but programs & people spreading trashy propaganda are disappearing one after another from pro-Fidesz commercial stations.. 3/1

Researchers found that TikTok’s For You pages prioritized pro-Republican content in New York, Texas and Georgia

Ballroom... ballroom... ballroom...

This has been happening in America since 2015. youtube.com/shorts/s4TIi...

Oh ffs. Listening to LBC discussion about gifts, Starmer, and Farage and the uncanny similarity to the double-standard coverage that US news media offered to the centrist party vs. the far-right party. Biden/Starmer haven't been able to breathe while Trump/Farage face light to non-existent scrutiny.

NEW WORLD 🌎 ORDER

Is it now not obvious what we're up against? This is an international criminal group that manipulates voters, takes over major powers, corrupts their systems, and fills their private pockets. We need an international response!

America's political system has been under attack for more than a decade. The UK's political system is now under attack. Similar tactics--different nations. Funded by autocrats with the help of long marginalized domestic partners and unwilling dupes. yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

These white American men... they are so angry. They're so angry at the rest of America. It's like they want to beat them--cause them suffering. Take away their joy. Take away their freedoms. Make their lives harder. Steal their hope. They are so, so angry. They need help.

At the end, MAGA was about spoiled, crying white men who refused to share their toys with the rest of the country.

Is this Trump's Make a Wish moment? www.thebulwark.com/p/exclusive-...

So this NYT story about a judge ruling that Maurene Comey can sue the DOJ comes out at 10 am & five hours later, the DOJ charges her father for posting a photo of seashells by the seashore. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/n...

This is all so stupid! These idiots in the White House need to give. it. UP!

This whole "attempt to use the shooting in order to marginalize political enemies" thing is hitting differently than it did after the Kirk assassination. It just feels... tired. Worn out. Stupid. Something no one asked for and something that just needs to stop.

To clarify the latest stupidity from the FCC: Disney owns ABC. ABC is comprised of more than 200 local stations. The FCC controls the licenses of *local stations*. ABC outright owns eight of those local stations. Therefore, the FCC is trying to revoke local station licenses--not Disney itself.

getting the fcc to pull abc's licenses cause jimmy kimmel made fun of you should go in the snowflake hall of fame

@housedemocrats.bsky.social We need accountability. We need hearings. We need investigations. We need *impeachments.*

In addition: An amorphous squamous of an entity, a festering sore ready for excision from the mind's eye. He's a walking pustule filled with the foulest of infected material. He is decomposition of the human condition. He is Black Death. Leave him in a petri dish long enough and he will kill us all.

Let's do a quick translation: I *wasn't* totally exonerated. *I* should be ashamed of myself, my hearing that. *I* am a disgrace. (But the guilt is too much for me to bear, so I need to project this onto you, Norah.)

I'm tired of my beautiful country being held hostage by these fascists. They continue to manipulate so many of us... they continue to trash the good parts of what we are. I am tired of it. I want them gone. But I know it's not that easy. I know that to solve this we have to start with our media.

From SNL UK tonight: youtu.be/6xNr97mx240?...

Consider what having a conservative media ecophere/ecochamber/whathaveyou means: Political elites have told a large percentage of Americans to consume only media that can "be trusted" and to ignore media that challenges what they think. It is not much different than any cult leader. They need help.
