NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

Elon Musk changing AI to do Holocaust Denialism is 100% what everyone was warning about. And it's only being caught because Elon Musk is a ham handed loser with no real talent. A competent person behind the scenes using AI to spread propaganda will be absolutely armageddon for truth as a whole.

As I often said to friends who backed Trump in 2024 for pro-Israel reasons ... Trump has broken faith with everyone else on this earth fool enough to trust him, wives, creditors, everyone. Why do you imagine you'll be any different?

There's a lot of dunking on Dems that I don't appreciate, because it amounts to "why aren't you the party in power after losing an election?" The below is the kind of tactical misstep Dems make routinely. Pick public fights when they fuck up! Make a bad news cycle for Republicans!

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

As part of our plan to end antisemitism, today we fired multiple Jews from the Holocaust Memorial Museum. by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance

Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

Trump and his administration are antisemites. They always have been, and always will be. They are weaponizing antisemitism as a way of meeting their own ends that have nothing to do with helping Jews and are ultimately about setting us up as the fall guy. Again: they are antisemites.

one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Prices on basically everything haven't even doubled yet, and they will. This guy is more cooked than a crouton. I do wish Dems would understand this and start fighting instead of going on the most racist podcast they can find.

The past four Republican administrations have tanked the US economy. But I know multiple Democrats who include their pronouns in the footer of their emails. I have never felt more politically homeless.

if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

If you like what you've seen from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic lawmakers this week, call and email their offices and let them know that. Evidence of public support gives lawmakers more clout with their colleagues to keep doing what they're doing. Constituent encouragement becomes influence.
