Great post. I missed that Elon cited the Irish as part of our heritage. For decades, nativists insisted that the Irish were papist thugs who were ruining America. That idea is so thoroughly buried that in 30 days, people with ancestry from all over will be wearing shirts saying “kiss me, I’m Irish.”
Elon's racist little post made me mad enough to write about it at CAMPAIGN TRAILS.

Wild to see wealthy Reform politician "explaining" to poor people they don't understand their own experience.
Let's make sure every single person in Gorton & Denton (and the country!) knows exactly that Reform is bankrolled by dodgy donors. Mask is off.

Get your crack cocaine and heroin! Crack cocaine! And heroin!
When I lived in Japan, far-right parties used to drive around blaring out propaganda from loudspeaker vans. People saw them as public nuisances at best, dangerous nutters at worst. Interesting to see Matt Goodwin adopt the same strategy.

This has been the coolest part of the last few months, all of these people stopping Kat on the street to just shoot the shit about what’s working and what’s not because they know her from Instagram or the TV. It happens… a lot. They’re usually people who say they don’t vote but now they will.
One person at a time. One tea stop at a time. One vote at a time.
Walks like this not only remind us what we’re fighting for but also how we can represent our communities better.
We’ll be on Devon again today! Hope to see you there 🧡

Again, in actual democracies, ministers resign all the time, under threat of a no confidence vote in the parliament. We have a system where legislative confirmation totally fails ex ante to screen out wildly unqualified people, & ex post accountability depends on a toothless extraordinary measure.
There must be a dozen fireable offenses listed in this piece:
*Noem firing civil servants without cause
*Her boyfriend using govt resources to boost her profile, punishing officials who would not give him a gun
*Massive waste on ads, planes, delayed contracts, pushing favored firms
