The X radicalization engine hasn't received a fraction of the attention of the purported Bluesky one, despite being a *much* more dramatic process. The amount of nominally progressive/left people who have become noticeably friendly with gutter Nazis is really hard to miss

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

Headline/chyron if this were happening in a foreign country: "Far right president calls for arrest of opposition party provincial governor, raising further questions about democracy & the rule of law" Headline/chyron when this happens in 🇺🇸: "Trump Takes Questions As He Returns To The White House"

My hot take on McMegan whining about Bluesky is that conservatives are so accustomed to deference in public discourse after years of successfully working the refs in journalism that they have absolutely no ability to tolerate accurate and honest critiques of conservatism.

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

It's frustrating because there were real mistakes during the pandemic! But you're not allowed to have adult conversations led by scientists in this country. You need to start with the premise that "extremists on both sides got things wrong" and work backwards.

Yes every conservative social media site becomes a tropical rainforest of school shooters and Ponzi schemes but did you know that there is a left-wing social media site where people are rude to the nation’s center-right political pundits

Keep track of every single motherfucker who sides with the fascists over the people. Every politician, every pundit, every personality. People are revealing themselves with every passing second. Look around. See it. And don’t you ever forget it.

I hope everyone who stayed home or voted third party in November is happy with their choice. This is what y'all chose. No one forced you to choose this. You forced this on everyone else.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

I don't know why he fears it. It is perfectly clear that Trump's supporters would not care one whit if it was demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was a pedophile.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Pretty clearly setting the stage to use the Insurrection Act to crack down on domestic protests within the US.

Any political reporters had the balls to follow up with Trump about the Epstein tapes? Are they just going to let this drift away again? I know that Biden has gotten several days older while all this has unfolded, but ... still.

I like Democrats who DON'T think we should be friends with Nazis.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

I’ve always believed that the way to overcome conservative resistance to gun reform is for liberals to start arming themselves.
