I sincerely, not-jokingly believe it's worth keeping track of this guy because I am 100% convinced he will be an absolute political menace in the very near future and it'll be important to not play around with him when we get to that point.

The John Birch Society was once ostracized in conservative circles for its conspiratorial lunacy. But now it’s back.

This JBS post, a version of the white nationalist great replacement theory,was shared by Elon Musk with his more than 230 million followers on X.

This appears to be authentic video posted on X from ICE agent Jonathan Ross's cell phone. He was filming throughout the encounter. Numerous details match video from other bystanders.

This is how a regime threatens its own people, live on state-run TV. In Iran, national broadcasters are now warning families not to let their children protest, or “don’t complain if they are shot.”

“We’ve ended conflicts with hypocrites before,” they add.

It follows that Trump leaked the most market-moving economic numbers that exist.

I have no idea how illegal this is, or if the law even matters any more.

But I do know this: It's unprecedented. No White House has ever before leaked such important market-moving numbers. No serious country does this

A credulous media will be the death of the Republic
Why would Trump stop lying? It's worked for him so far.
Lying has helped him avoid almost all accountability as a sex predator.
Lying has made him billions.
Lying got him out of felonies that would put anyone else in prison.
Lying has made him so powerful that most media won't call his lies "lies."

"I am not going to pay masked thugs to shoot moms in the face. Period," Swalwell says.

EVERY DEM NEEDS TO REPEAT THIS
Important: Minneapolis killing should lead Dems to draw a much harder line against *any* ICE funding in budget talks, Swalwell/Goldman agree.

"I am not going to pay masked thugs to shoot moms in the face. Period," Swalwell says.

A Dem House should be for defunding.

The most consequential news in the world this week is occurring in Iran. US broadcast media have decided it's not worth reporting.

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea.

This should not be a difficult concept.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’m writing about this right now and should be doing that instead of this. However this poem tracks with what I’m processing. I don’t really understand all the performative closure stuff we do culturally. It seems enough for me to know I’m done.

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

The world divided between nations that accept, and that reject climate change. In the latter category, one nation—the one led by Trump, now the most virulently anti-science nation on earth.
