THIS. It's like the folks who didn't figure out The Boys until season 4 or 5 or whatever.
I’m halfway through Sunrise on the Reaping and I’m still baffled that people seem to miss that Suzanne Collins is doing some of the most poignant and deadly rebellious writing about specifically American capitalism, capitalism informed by the entertainment and tech industries, today.

Elon's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race cost his candidate around 5% of the vote--even though he spent $25 million dollars on his behalf.
Elon's endorsee ran 5 points behind the other statewide Republican candidate. That's an unbelievably negative return on investment.

WI knocked their cheesehead off the oligarch’s fat head. Not your cheesehead, not your state, not your vote. WI said GFY to Musk 👍👍

Turns out people don't like watching their fellow citizens get handed giant novelty checks for a million dollars in exchange for their vote. It makes them want to go to the polls and cast their own votes for free.

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night.
Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar.
I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below.
What an immense loss
