1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we? After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism. Spoiler - she isn’t! 🤨 🧵 1/22

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’m going to talk about… Vatnik Soup (www.vatniksoup.com)! As some of you know, we also have a website where you can find every soup ever published. The site also has other useful resources, making it the most comprehensive resource on Russian disinformation & vatniks. 1/15

1. The "crisis" in Iran was solved in 2015. The United States and others negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which imposed a rigorous inspection regime that cut off Iran’s path to a bomb. Then Trump withdrew from the agreement for no reason.

popular.infoWhat will happen if the United States bombs Iran?Trump campaigned as a peacemaker, promising to "end the endless foreign wars." Less than six months into his presidency, things have changed.

US ally Israel's tanks fired at hundreds of unarmed civilians lined up for food from aid trucks in Gaza, they massacred least 59 people and injuring at least 200 more. Hundreds have been killed trying to get aid in past three weeks. US politicians say they stand by Israel.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

This is why we’re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Greta Thunberg and other human rights defenders have been kidnapped by Israel on international waters. The aid they were delivering to Gaza that includes baby formula & medical supplies has been stolen. The ship Madleen was attacked with drones & will be forced to port at Ashdod Port. #3E #FreeGaza

Replying to @mady.cat

Police brutality captured on ABC7-- as the police chief gives a press conference. A fire breaks out, then cops brutally assault a protestor. They run him over with a horse and hit him with batons several times, despite the fact he does not pose any threat to the officers. Cops are rioting.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll talk about Finland and how pro-Kremlin propagandists have become more active in the Finnish political space since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. For the first time since 2022, they’ve gained some political power in Finland. 1/16

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens. After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Ukrainian-born former State Duma deputy, Vladimir Medinsky. He is best known as one of the ideologues of the “Russkiy Mir”, for his close ties to Vladimir Putin, and for leading the “peace talks” in Turkey in 2022 and 2025. 1/20

This was a dark day for Corporate America. Top CEOs traveled to Saudi Arabia to ingratiate themselves with: 1. Trump, who is taking a blowtorch to the Constitution, and 2. MBS, who ordered the execution of a U.S.-based journalist
