"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

If a right is denied to the least of us, it is not a right. A lot of angry parents of children with Autism are joining the fight. We welcome you, but please remember when the dust settles that if you had stood with the Transgender and Undocumented communities, they would never have made it to you.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

The Democratic Caucus should call for a vote of no confidence in Senator Schumer. He is not fit to lead.

🧵1/2 Part of what defines conservatism is a nostalgia for a fictionalized past. For Republicans, the 1950's represent this by-gone zenith of American power. But now the Democrats are establishing their own fictional but glorious past they wish to return to in the Clinton era of the 1990's.

Trump just embarrassing himself calling the guy who said "I don't need a ride, I need ammunition" weak. That is a warrior. You are a coward.

Major Universities: Quietly bow to Trump and cut DEI initiatives and research hoping Trump will play nice. Trump: Slashes their funding anyway. You can't appease your way out of fascism and Universities should have known better, but the next best line to draw is here.

To Democrats complaining they are being expected to do too much in the minority: You spent 20-22 with a majority in Congress and told us the Republican minority was the reason you couldn't do anything. You were lying then, are bad at using a majority, or are bad at being the minority.

My god, my parents, who are probably the most avid news watchers outside of myself that I interact with regularly, hadn't even heard of Musks OBM takeover. The press is complicit in this state takeover.

I don't know if this is literally true. But it helps to clarify some arguments that @mcopelov.bsky.social and I are pulling together about the political economy of crypto and state power. If tech billionaires are massively overleveraged on two products that nobody wants, only the state can save them

It’s a lesser point but the idea that AI will immediately prove a useful tool for streamlining government is by itself such a ludicrous tell. It’s a separate indicator of the staggering overconfidence these children have.

Boycott the Democratic Party. They should not get a cent until they start acting like opposition leaders. Give your money to organizations doing the work to oppose Trump. Invest in mutual aid networks. The Democrats should have to work for our support, and they are not doing that.

They are going to put children in a torture center. There is no way this ends without death camps unless we stop Trump's regime.
