In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6. Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

This really is a repeat of the twitter takeover (and all the people who stayed on twitter helped to make him think this approach worked)

Musk is (1) randomly firing people (and cuts) in agencies for which he ideologically opposed (2) targeted firing people (and cuts) for his personal benefit. Effect will be (1) less effective federal government (2) massive costs to US to clean up mess he is creating (3) Musk making money

The Justice Department is investigating a New York sheriff for declining to detain someone on behalf of ICE. It's not clear what the DOJ could charge him with. “There is no such crime as failing to help ICE do its job," one legal expert said. nysfocus.com/2025/02/21/t...

Another fevered story in the Daily Mail this morning attacking OnlyFans. The British tabloid press has been amping up antiporn stories, in what I suspect is a coordinated campaign to gin up public (and thus legislative) anger. We've seen this before.

Few things capture the feeling of this moment like idiots finally realizing Elon Musk is a dangerous idiot with no merits and then dealing with this epiphany by becoming drooling mark cuban fanboys instead

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

If this doesn't work, their next plan is to drive really slow with "honk if you resign" bumper stickers

Bunch people accused me of misinformation saying they’re targeting the disease not the people with the disease. I’d like to ask: you think autism and ADHD and neurodivergence is a disease? And why exactly (and how exactly) do you think it’s ok to reduce the number of people with these conditions?

So transphobia, imo, is structurally very similar to antisemitism -- both get much of their force from the fear of a SECRET Other, an Other who can pass -- and it's because of that, i think, that transphobia and antisemitism are uniquely DERANGING to bigots.

Take time to listen to this interview with my extraordinary friend @edyong209.bsky.social. We use the word humanitarian too loosely. But Ed is truly this—one who reminds us about our inextricable connection to everyone and everything around us, with hope and outrage. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

Less than three years before Elon Musk tapped him to take part in a sweeping overhaul of the US government, Edward Coristine, then 17, was the subject of a heated dispute between two executives at the Arizona-based cybersecurity firm where he was an intern: bit.ly/3DcfRrN

being "against ANTIFA" and being "against DEI" are structurally the same sort of workaround, where you get to be fascist and a racist but also blame it on the left. "am I doing sieg heils and purging all the women and Black people? yes, the left made me do it with their censoriousness"

She's not wrong. Worth looking at what Spycops in the UK were pulling as well. It doesn't need huge numbers of "russian bots" or huge disinformation mills. It just needs one person who gets themself into the right place to cause enough shit to grind things to a halt.

William Gibson foresaw everything about our dystopian society, including, presumably, the fact that he would one day join Bluesky and immediately start making puns about the puppygirl hacker polycule.

"If there’s one thing I’d hoped people had learned going into the next four years of Donald Trump as president, it’s that spending lots of time online posting about what people in power are saying and doing is not going to accomplish anything. If anything, it’s exactly what they want."

Every five years Bill Burr says something that isn't "women deserve to get hit when they're mouthy" and you have to go back and carefully, patiently link the video of him saying women deserve to get hit when they're mouthy. Which he does. A lot. youtu.be/7ZGMT4eaXoI?...

I don't know why, but "Bill Burr, Leftist Hero" is where I hit my limit, maybe just because it shows how few people actually give a shit. If all we're doing is arguing about WHICH violently misogynist white man to treat as our leader, then all hope of a better future is already lost.

Trans people were on the front lines at Stonewall. Don't let Trump, Musk, or a bunch of Vichy gays and TERFs tell you otherwise. My latest for Slate on what happened to the Stonewall monument website, why autocrats always destroy history, and where it can lead slate.com/news-and-pol...
