I don't give a shit about credit. I'm very aware lots of people hate me (sometimes they send threats!)

The only thing that matters now is efficacy, spread StopRFKjr.com among your circles. Try to get a couple of your people to call this weekend. Take all the credit.

But the idea that you, as an individual, can solve the world’s problems is bullshit. You do not need to solve the world’s problems.

“Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism, as I understand it.”
@jamesfolta.com makes the case for reading George Orwell on the anniversary of his death.
Now might be a good time to re-read George Orwell.

Three points on this: First, Bannon probably should have thought about Musk’s “evil” nature before Trump’s inner circle allowed him to basically bankroll Trump’s campaign. Second, the notion that the MAGA movement loathes racism—when the very phrase…
