Part of the lesson here is that Trumpists, like many bullies, don’t handle it well if you stand up to them rather than caving. If Trump or Vance or their supporters had any character this petulant display and Zelenskyy’s defiance would be humiliating to them.

Frustrated there's not more I can do directly, but for now I can just try to document reality. Elon is bringing his Twitter destruction playbook to the US government, and it's impossible to explain just how serious and bad this is. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/31/e...

remarkable to me that far from seeming cool or masculine zuck seems like an even bigger loser — the kind of nerd who preemptively gives his lunch money to the bully and thanks him for the opportunity

Becoming increasingly apparent that we are seeing a direct attack on the integrity of the whole EU by the techbros supported by the power of the US government under Trump. All our assumptions about the way the world works need to change. Techbro-USA is a predatory, hostile threat. 👇

I’m going to say it again for the trolls on here who have trouble listening the first time: James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr was ten times the man Donald Trump was every day of his life, ten times the Christian, and ten times the president. I said what I said. Good day.

Maybe Trump can be appealed to to respect the norm that the president isn’t supposed to act like an unpaid outside advisors bitch.

We cannot win if voters get their news about Democrats from Republicans. Our party needs to show up everywhere if we want to beat the GOP’s edge and reshape the information environment. That means deploying great communicators to deliver effective messages – everywhere.

The greatest failure of the modern Democratic Party is the apparent belief that basic elements of politics -- selling your policies to voters and reminding them what you did for them -- is somehow tacky and beneath them.

Hunter Biden’s TWO criminal cases were political prosecutions in order to attack President Joe Biden. The DOJ pursued unprecedented charges after a high-pressure campaign by Trump and his surrogates.

People may be ditching the news, but it’s not because of the results of the election. It’s because people are sick and tired of corporate media covering Joe Biden’s choice of footwear with more zeal than Donald Trump’s threat to democracy.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The problem with pieces like this, which are countless, is the prevailing media assumption that left-of-center Americans need constant corrective instruction about how to be in and engage with the world, whereas right-of-center Americans are simply to be observed in awe, like rainbows or mountains.
