Sorry, her handle was dropped from my post. She’s a really interesting follow because she sees no reason to be polite in the face of this MAGA moral catastrophe we find ourselves living in. That gets my respect.

This MAGA cult of incels and morons is a danger to the Enlightenment, if not all living things. We need to stop being polite. We need to stop being gentle. We need to get really angry. And soon.

“I never really thought about him as being the one who did it,” she said. “But now I’ve really got something to think about, huh?” Trump’s war on solar hurts his own voters. Great @maxinejoselow.bsky.social reporting in the @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/c...

For those who don’t ever visit Twitter, this is the kind of idiotic agitprop that gets viral traction every single day. And if you think it doesn’t have a very big and eager audience, you’re as delusional as they are.

Meet @akafaceUS, another delusional racist piece of MAGA dogshit so historically ignorant he doesn't know that the party switched sides long ago. But since they only talk to other delusional racist pieces of MAGA dogshit, =such facts go unnoticed.The left won't tell you that though.

They occasionally come up with similar bullshit, but tomorrow it'll be just another editorial about how "bothsides" need to compromise by giving the right 50% of what they want, again.

Nothing happened, it's just plausible deniability and business as usual.

I’m sure this will get fact-checked and some of his red state plaudits debunked, but the overall trends Brooks discusses are real (for a change).

I just wish better analysts would get a platform this large to discuss important things. As a society we seem determined that a handful of oligarchs …

I don’t see @ElonMusk talking about his Mars fantasy much anymore. You suppose the science of it all finally crept up on the morons that believed his idiocy about a habitable Mars? It’s about as habitable as a microwave oven-if you don’t stay too long.

While I applaud the effort, I never liked the name #NoKings Day. It puts focus on Trump. And he’s not the problem. It’s the MAGA movement, the @GOP, the lawless corpocracy behind both, and this preposterous party primary system that’s the problem. The event should be renamed…
