funny how Jeff Bezos pivoted to " We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets" thinking that would be obviously pro-trump

Important to remember that the reason most Trump voters think everything's fine is that their chosen media is telling them little more than that he's cutting government waste and frogmarching criminals out of the country. Real information doesn't reach them. An economic collapse? That might.

This is the zombie "economic anxiety" narrative bullshit of 2025. Anything to stop talking about racism and misogyny and how it played a big role in Kamala Harris not winning and is a staple of MAGA's appeal.

Well now we know why DOGE invaded the US Institute of Peace: They wanted to take over its building for themselves so they could have a nice headquarters, so they figured they'd physically push everyone out and then fire them. Straight up thuggery. www.wired.com/story/doge-t...

I can never decide if the biggest suckers in known human history are the people who wanted Trump to win because they think he's an economic populist or people who wanted Trump to win because he's opposed to American imperialism

If Oct. 7 had never happened, Trump would right now be pulling funding from Columbia and Harvard because of DEI policies or admissions requirements or what research they were doing or all of the above. The right hates universities and that’s it.

Already there have been government workers "just doing their jobs" removing Black people, LGBTQ people and women from websites, memorials and other spaces of public memory. Where are the stories of people refusing to hit the "delete" button? Not enough. What's to stop people from doing worse?

I think there’s probably power in being up against people who simply can’t conceive of anyone caring enough to act without being bribed to do so. It means that they cannot imagine, or thereby prepare themselves for, a driven opposition.

Not surprising but absolutely wild to go on stage and blame bad things on a nefarious billionaire who is pulling on the puppet strings of politics while you are the richest man in the world who is on stage because he's spending millions trying to influence an election!

Some really bad swings on the economy for Trump in the new CBS poll. In January, 42% thought they’d be better off under his policies on the economy. Now just 23% say they are, and 42% say they’re worse off. And almost as many people blame him for inflation now as Biden.
