What's striking to me are the rules of engagement and the methodology of action here, which more or less is predicated on burying liberal delusions about "debate" or the "marketplace of ideas". The rules were ultimately very simple: amplify your own message and suppress your opponent's.

Please help Malik!!!

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

The Lowdown. Yeah.

My man looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost became president of the Hair Club for Men.

“hey idiots, I just thought of something for the first time ever, my altruism is going to be Effective” [I’m hiring a philosopher to cook up thought experiments proving that I can spend my billions exclusively on my own lunatic pet projects]

"Godzilla is an emblem of what it’s like to be at the mercy of forces completely beyond your control, set loose by people who do not pay the price for what they’ve done. A living atomic superpower, pursuing goals unintelligible to outsiders, leaving a trail of destruction.." @seantcollins.com writes

This is rage bait but 1 of the most eye-opening things I’ve learned from leaping up a few tax brackets due to luck is HOW MUCH MONEY there is at the top. Straight up unfathomable. Way, way, WAY more than you think! California can afford ANYTHING. YOUR govt can afford ANYTHING. Demand it all!

Americans have a habit of trying to compare all authoritarianism to Nazi Germany. I think in some ways i think it is comforting to view authoritarianism as a foreign ideology. If you want to understand our current authoritarian moment, you need to look to our own past, not to Europe 1/x

Damn man. One of the Good Ones today from @lukeoneil47.bsky.social with an essential piece from @joshcrowley.bsky.social . "It should be too obvious to have to point out, but reality isn’t so childishly simple. The World is not Just." www.welcometohellworld.com/wealth-is-ri...

You really can look at everything through the lens of @greatdismal.bsky.social 's The Peripheral. The Klept is growing stronger and the immanentizing of the Jackpot seems to be the main objective of the current US administration. Still not inevitable, but not looking great.

The Klept is getting more brazen and the Jackpot is getting closer. @greatdismal.bsky.social is always right.
