A reminder.

Great question. “From the ground up” doesn’t mean bypassing politics, it means rebuilding the conditions that make democratic politics work in the first place. A quick thread on how I see the road ahead 🧵

The essential truth humanity faces today.

Holy crap. LA is in a full on insurrection. HELP. SAVE US. 😆🤣😆

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

Everything Moran said is empirically true. All you have to do is read and watch Miller to see the waterfall of cruelty that emanates from this man. apple.news/AVEfiG7jLRNq...

“It might be the ugliest effect of Trump’s return—the rapid normalization of spectacular corruption, the desensitization to lawless power, the acceptance of moral collapse. Eventually it will coarsen us all.” apple.news/Ailac3nj0SOC...

“Even if most Americans haven’t abandoned their private sense of empathy, many don’t seem terribly bothered by the rancidness of their leaders.” apple.news/Ailac3nj0SOC...

“Musk and Vance function at a higher evolutionary level than Trump. They have ideas to justify the human suffering they cause. They even have moral ideas.” apple.news/Ailac3nj0SOC...

A reminder.

JULIETTE KAYYEM: “Active duty Marines for this, Hegseth? I mean, we were just reporting on it. There's music. The traffic is moving. Most people in L.A. probably don't even know this is going on.”

First we have Secretary Hegseth's fever dream of troops in the streets. bsky.app/profile/rgoo...

it. Is. A. Cult.

Cryptocurrency will be the next big financial crisis. Remember, crypto is for crimeing.

"I’m also watching how this dynamic plays out in institutions. When law firms, universities or political bodies bend to powerful figures instead of upholding shared values, it mirrors what happens in abusive households: Everyone walks on eggshells." Sounds on point www.huffpost.com/entry/psycho...

One of the best threads on our current political crisis. This is what Fox agitprop and right wing social media has brought us to: “disordered discourse.” It’s all about performance not about governing.

Well... this sums it up nicely.😆😂😆 "And now these charisma-vacuums—who without money, fame and power, couldn’t get laid in a brothel with a fistful of fifties and a Yelp coupon—are making “policy” decisions for the rest of us." open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

And so it begins. Trump and the Dog-E boys now have more blood on their hands.

Really!!! I swear to god. Years from now historians will look at this period in our history and ask "what in the actual fuck did social media and the internet do to these people and their government?" www.cnn.com/2025/05/16/p...

Reporting the facts and maintaining neutrality when intentional malice is occurring constitutes negligence. News organizations make editorial decisions daily, and the choices they have made have contributed to the world’s current predicament. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, and all the tough podcast bros; they all cosplay like tough manly men. They talk. She does. This is what courage looks like. 🇺🇦

Another insane out.😆
