"Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Mpls or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America" ~ @adamserwer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The working class is much less desperate than in the past. Have billionaires moved the Overton window in the UK, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Italy, Hungary, India, Brazil, Argentina all at once? Or maybe there’s a more structural explanation, something that affected everyone at the same time

“Why have countries that have moved an ever-growing share of social interactions into a frictionless online space, where political claims are validated or invalidated by popularity alone, seen a commensurate rise in extreme political factions driven by emotional catharsis and decoupled from reality”

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

inequality went down 2020-24, cost of living went down over the same period, the increase in nonwhite Americans is a long trend that barely budged in that period. the thing that changed, a lot, is the media and information environment, which became dramatically more fascist

The exact same correlation exists for male education

OPINIÓN | “Entre los grandes éxitos de esta moda de ser idiota destacan las vacunas, la Tierra plana, la no llegada del hombre a la Luna, el socialismo de Adolf Hitler y la invasión subrepticia de Europa a través del top manta”, por David Torres

The replies to this tweet were recommended to me when I opened the app. The people making these replies are making hundreds or thousands of dollars off them - they're monetized and look how much engagement they're getting. It's become a fullbore funding mechanism for white supremacy.

Twitter has become a terminal cancer for our country, a neverending crisis pouring the worst kind of bigotry imaginable into the public mind, and no one will even talk about it. Most of our elites in journalism and politics still rely on it!

One of the largest websites on earth, the biggest hub for political and journalistic communication, its owner has transformed into the largest global outlet for violent white supremacy and antisemitism to exist in human history.. and all those politicians and journalists just don’t talk about it.

Basically...
