Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

One of the factors that caused me to leave me democratic politics for good was me trying to figure out what my next step could be after being a digital director in Congress and realizing it was basically just grifting bullshit like this.
The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:
$678M raised through those spam tactics
$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.
$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)
The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

I’ve been saying Vichy a bunch but this is the moment where I’ve 100% viscerally accepted it.
These people are not opposition at all. They are collaborators actively working with the fascists to destroy our republic.

Since I'm taking a little bit of a break, I want to talk about the work I've done over the last three months at Rascal.
I've done interviews, criticism, reportage, and stuff that's hard to classify. I'm incredibly proud of all of it and want to take some time and lay it out in one thread:
