The big companies that designed new war crimes technologies in Gaza are the same ones buying up all of our apps and media and helping the Trump regime zip-tie kids and throw them into vans in Chicago. It's all connected.

I wasn't sure how I was going to talk about your book, but this Bari Weiss development is the catalyst to revisit this mess.

If Donald Trump is allowed to hate his enemies, then so am I. There is something categorically evil about using children as political props while directly harming them. They put my own child's life in danger as well, and I will never forgive them for that. Ever.

Now, mainstream news runs stories wondering why so many children are struggling in school, why so many of them have Long Covid, why so many of them seem sick all the time. The Free Press played an active role in this disaster.

The science has proven Vinay Prasad catastrophically wrong on everything. While he yelled about "fearmongering" in late 2022 and early 2023, the mass disabling of children dismissed as "immunity debt" was happening right in front of everyone.

Getting sick sometimes is the price of returning to normal. Dr. Vinay Prasad thinks it’s more than worth it.

Of course, NPR's piece is a great example of how "objective" news organizations continue to ignore all this and sanitize these crazies for public consumption. NPR drops the ball constantly, then they cry when the fascists they try to play nice with gut them with a fish hook.

Bari Weiss nurtured the anti-vaxx rhetoric that directly contributed to 6 million children developing Long Covid. Her rise to head of CBS News is deeply disturbing. The Free Press promotes the most toxic neoliberal, climate denying, MAGA adjacent trash you can find.

Provocative columnist Bari Weiss publicly quit the New York Times in 2020, then cofounded The Free Press as an alternative to legacy media. Here's what to know as she takes the helm of CBS News.

Sad but feels accurate.

Jessica Wildfire @jessicawildfire.bsky.social · 1d

The moment the stock market recovered from April, I figured it wouldn't be long before Trump started in with tariffs and other destabilizing moves again. And look, he's doing it. Because throttling the market for his insider trading friends is the point.

Whatever you say...

Also, I hate to be the doomer here, but save Gaza? It's a pile of rubble. Every life matters, but I think we need to be very cautious about saying we saved Gaza when, in fact, countless have been bombed and starved into oblivion, and I highly doubt it's actually over.

Yes, a lot of the enshittification we're seeing now, including the sale of Tiktok and the huge rightwing investment in Substack, is a direct response not just to the Gaza community but to the Long Covid community as well. Tiktok and Substack were instrumental in both. That's my point.

One last time: Establishment Democrats lost the 2024 election because they allied themselves with war criminals of a bygone era and alienated half their constituents with failed policies and callous campaign rhetoric centered on vibes.

Everything else is just noise.

Gotta be honest. I used to love social media. It was a place to go and connect, to learn, to express, even if it was about unpleasant stuff. Now, it very much feels like that's gone. I have an aversion to social media now.

That's not Trump's ideology. Same for many of his billionaire backers. His only ideology is self-interest. He thinks evangelical Christians are morons and he exploits their ideology for power. He has said as much behind closed doors. Understanding this is kind of important.

Jessica Wildfire @jessicawildfire.bsky.social · 3d

Last week almost nobody could get Covid vaccines. Now, almost everyone can get them. I call that unpredictable. I also read a lot of history. The big picture things are easy to predict. The granular things that often mean life or death for us here and now, not so easy to predict.

Jessica Wildfire @jessicawildfire.bsky.social · 3d

In the end, Trump will just do whatever the highest bidder or biggest influence wants. If someone else gains power and wants something different, he'll reverse course. I think that explains a lot of what's going on.

Today I finally realized that we can't ever truly understand the motivations of this regime because there's not a single ideology or logical paradigm. Often, it's just the intersections of individual greed, narcissism, and hate. That's why their actions often seem so hard to interpret or predict.

Yep. Increasingly, the behavior is exactly the same regardless of whether our "conspiracies" are true.

As Sarah Kendzior and others have explained, the scandals and stupidity are often bait for the media to distract everyone from the extraordinary crimes he commits. Though, yes, he is never acting alone and has plenty of super rich handlers who are definitely smarter than him.
