This is excellent. It’s not enough to share an identity. It’s not enough to be against something. What are we FOR?

Interestingly, that AI video of “Trump Gaza” was meant to be satire and was not made by his team. It really is impossible to satirize Trump because he is beyond parody, a shameless shitposter.

Michigan Attorney General Nessel called the AI-generated video Trump posted depicting Gaza as a casino resort “horrible — I’m aghast and disgusted by it.”

Trump was impeached in 2019 for trying to extort Ukraine in a phone call. He just did the same thing, this time on live TV. I’m hearing from Americans who I’ve never heard talk about politics before say they thought it was disgusting and shameful. Congress, where are the calls for impeachment?

In an editorial decrying Trumpists' attacks on speech, the #BrokenTimes can't resist its insidious bothsidesing "the censorial strains of the left." No, criticism is not censorship. Book and DEI bans are censorial fascism. The MAGA War on Speech www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

Theres an argument that what Jeff Bezos did is actually good. Hear me out. For decades, the WaPo oped page has been a weapon for neolib/neocon left-punching under the veneer of establishment "centrism." Bezos now removed the veneer & the plausible deniability of ideology. In that way, it's honest.

Tesla stock is down 14% since close of markets last Friday. What happened during that time? One answer: mass protests. I describe what it was like at one such protest. What I saw fulfills what I describe as neuroscience-based requirements for effective action. samwang.substack.com/p/the-effect...

Hochul’s move here is profoundly racist and dehumanizing. Defining Palestinian studies as fundamentally antisemitic means defining Palestinians as something to be erased. It is genocidal. This is also an unacceptable attack on academic freedom. The governor should have no say in faculty hiring.

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.
