Look none of this is difficult. The billionaires want us to hate each other. They're buying every newspaper and social media company to flood the space with bots and hate speech to keep us fractured and divided. And we could do that - and tear each other apart - or we could try to fix things.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

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."

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

correct states further down the path of autocracy than us have had those autocracies overthrown by sufficiently large voting numbers recently we can do it here too

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

"Don't comply in advance" includes not believing them when they say they've already won.

Stunning Lula victory in Brazil is another sign of how easily we all let ourselves get psy-op-ed by the right's expressions of confidence into, you know, believing them. We really have to get over that habit!

Maybe try saying "Constitution" and "Constitutional Scholar" as well?

Weird request, but can someone do me a favor and say Hillsdale College about a dozen times near their phone? I'm running an experiment. More details later.

semi-regular reminder that the bots on X aren't just there for politics, but are intended to normalize hate and cruelty in all areas of life

Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social

I left X almost exactly two years ago because of the violent, celebrated rape culture that was dominating the platform. Two years later, I’m undeniably better off, and the culture around sexual violence at large is arguably worse. I believe X has played a serious role in that.

protip: Politicians only say "damn" when they know they're full of shit

Philip Bump@pbump.com

Even if this were viable as a concept (that there's an afterlife; that it allows conversations with others; that enslavers are going the same place as you), who cares? Oh, are you mad at me, Ben Franklin? Tough shit.

So the same month that Elon Musk throttled Starlink to run his own military policy, he's also seeking more control over your flow of information. Musk and the Ellisons will control CNN and CBS for news; HBO, Warner Bros, Paramount & more for entertainment; Twitter (X) and TikTok for social media.

Now that Wedgewood Polls has been exposed as fakers, let's consider the odd fact that this year not one but TWO polling firms put out a fake poll and then claimed it had been a "social experiment" to see if fake data would enter the mainstream. Median Strategies used the same phrase in August. 1/

G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com

We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are now trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

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.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

As someone that's been through it with a parent, the American Death Industry is there to take all of their savings and then some. No one should make money on suffering.

Remember: FBI agents disclosed that Elon Musk had several direct communications with Putin, which were a violation of US law because of the security classifications he holds in his capacity as owner of SpaceX.

Jim Risch is the head of the Foreign Relations Committee. Beating him in a few weeks could actually help end these wars.
