In '97 Rob Reiner started a campaign to fund early childhood programs with sales taxes on tobacco. (South Park attacked him mercilessly for it) He succeeded & it became the First Five CA program, which saved my sanity & provided support & advice as a new parent.

Really struck by the juxtaposition of oleaginous cretin Michael Wolff & genuinely Christ-like Michael Woolf in the darkest timeline this week.

Brilliant analysis of not just Noem as the "breakout" star at DHS but intersection of Trumpism's aesthetics and nihilistic racism. Spectacular work by @tinavasquez.bsky.social that everyone should read
NEW: Thanks to @theflytrapmedia.com, I got to write about Kristi Noem in a way I wouldn't otherwise be able to write about Kristi Noem, by speaking to feminist writers, organizers, & policy experts about internalized misogyny & what Noem's extreme makeover tells us about the changing face of evil.
'Ice Barbie' Kristi Noem: The Face of Our Slide Into Fascism
Kristi Noem’s appearance is designed for reality TV and her aesthetic reflects the brutality of the Trump administration.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Excellent thread on voting conspiracies/ election denialism popping up on left which (SHOCKINGLY) are originating from far right malign actors.
There's a weird left-QAnon thing starting up centered around dubious claims about the 2024 results popping up at the periphery of the internet. I feel like we're gonna hear more and more about this so just laying down my understanding of it now.
I think its basically a hoax.

Finland goes so fucking hard.
And why do you run zigzag, you may ask?
It’s because that’s how you should run on a battlefield.
Finnish baseball was developed by a rabid nationalist as a sport that teaches the kids basic battlefield skills.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place):
1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

The defense budget is bloated.
Defense contractors engage in fraud and waste.
That's why we should cut military spending by 10%.
I hope Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will support that effort.

One concept that helps me make sense of [gestures widely] *all of this* is that of a "lay epistemology," that is, a "common-sense understanding of the world that places value on intuition/emotion over evidence/data." It's easy, intuitive, and, as we argue in the piece discussed below, exploitable.🧵
