I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Donald Trump consistently taking the side of pedophiles is almost never talked about as such.
Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

The next time you complain about the endless deluge of fundraising texts & spam email from Dem campaigns, keep in mind that it would take *40,000* $25 donations to cancel out 1/445th of what Elon Musk has spent this cycle.
NEW, from Bloomberg News: “Elon Musk has now given more than $445 million in the current election cycle.”

Remember that decline represents children who are going hungry and adults who have to skip meals just so they can pay their light bills.

East Potomac costs $42 to play and hosts thousands of people each year. A lot of the players are beginners. A lot of them don't have that much money. A lot of them are black. This is the course Donald Trump has decided shouldn't exist, and in the past, he's been fairly explicit about why not
Bluesky I know you do not care about golf. But I am telling you that in this specific case, you SHOULD care about golf. I explain in @slate.com what the Trump administration is doing to East Potomac Golf Course in D.C. slate.com/culture/2026...
