There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

99% of GOP talking points can be knocked down if reporters do third grade level research and pushback. It rarely happens, which is why it's so jarring when you actually see it 🙃
wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

This is a wild take when we’re in the middle of what could turn out to be one of the largest and most catastrophic misallocations of capital in human history driven by billionaire groupthink that was caused by a shared misinformation bubble that they created on purpose.
Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

I am so tired of our president being a big racist dipshit
Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."

Elon Musk has hosted SNL and appeared on Rick and Morty more frequently that he has testified to Congress (zero fucking times). Fix that.
What can Dems actually do about DOGE? A Democratic Congress has a real opportunity to engage in the type of oversight that DOGE has avoided thus far. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/blockers-a...

Anyway, good case study here. You can be as evil as you want, you can kill as many people as is possible, you can shove churro ladies into vans then off to black sites in countries they've never even heard of, but if you can't do the performance of fascism — that's when you're in real trouble.

Data centers are nature’s way of teaching red areas about the public good.
Most data centers are being built in red, rural areas. A new survey suggests they’re pushing voters to the left.

We seem to be having some success with hot smart people who are good at television, has anyone thought of trying this before
Mike Rogers is bought off — $5M from corporations to run his previous campaigns. He only cares about power and going back one more time through the revolving door to make another $14M.

Cc: @stephenking.bsky.social Sounds like a good idea :)
Stephen King should write a story about a Supreme Court Chief Justice vacationing on a remote Maine island, driven to madness by the consequences of his own decisions.

Sen. Mike Lee: "I won't be a bit surprised if President Trump decides at one point to say, 'You know, President Xi, let's go visit Panda Express and see what you think of their broccoli beef.' I'd love to see that happen. That's the kind of thing President Trump likes to do."

All I have to add to this post is that somebody is skipping leg day.
Baudrillard: "It is no longer a question of imitation, nor of reduplication, nor even of parody. It is rather a question of substituting signs of the real for the real itself... Never again will the real have to be produced: this is the vital function of the model in a system of death"

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.
Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.

The wealth and oligarchical classes are funding everybody from the GOP to the Democrats to the Far Right Tucker brigade. Sock puppets all the way around. If you’re serious about fighting your way out of this you have to recognize that fact and quit falling for this bullshit.
