“The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it’s ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.” Mon Mothma, future leader of the Rebel Alliance. #Andor #StarWars #DisneyPlus

What orwellian logic from the Trump administration. Complaining about fraud (social security skipping a check) is proof that the victim is a fraud.

NEXT WEEK: All of those Republicans who are cheering on the Trump-Musk coup will be back home for congressional recess. We can’t let the GOP escape the fury of their constituents. Even though Republicans are afraid to talk to voters right now, we can still make them squirm: indivisible.org/muskorus

As another Trump-induced market crisis unfolds from tariffs, it's time we ask "What's the Matter with Billionaires?" I've run the numbers. Billionaires do better under Dems. So why do billionaires keep supporting GOP policies against their economic interests? See my latest piece on why. (TLDR 🧵⬇️)

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

I posted a copy of the 3 minute version of my speech from yesterday (with citations) if anyone is interested. Feel free to steal from it if you want! (also, this is literally less than half of the Nazi shit they're currently pulling)

@dndbeyond.bsky.social Hi, I noticed some monsters were changed yesterday, but the changelog pulls them into the earlier update instead of one for yesterday. Could you keep them separate so we can know when things change? Also, could there be an actual errata document for the physical books? Thanks!

In preview of my Monday morning piece, I'm going to say a little bit about why this is so concerning. This is not some "economy" thing. Its first & foremost the possibility that our legal order is modified so the law of the land is defined by Elon Musk at Treasury www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

This is a must-read and is also the first comprehensive post mortem I’ve read working off the vote cast data (which is the real deal) as opposed to the dubious exit polling.
