Watching a senile sex criminal start wars for no reason while Congress shrugs is enough to make you go insane
The U.S. military has moved into place for possible strikes in Iran, leaving the White House with high stakes choices about pursuing diplomacy or war.
As Trump Weighs Possible Iran Strikes, U.S. Military Moves Into Place
President Trump has given no indication that he has made a decision about how to proceed, as diplomatic talks continue.

Remembering when I ran into a Trump volunteer in Scranton right before the election who told me he backed Trump because he wanted to keep his grandson out of war and then it turned out that he was also a former GOP legislator who'd been convicted of perjury related to campaign finance violations.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.
This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

Reading this paper in more detail you actually learn that the effect is found to be null among Democrats and Dem leaners and on partisanship in general and the changes in attitudes they find are concentrated among republicans.
journalists think they "learn more" on X because it is durably shifting users' views on policy and current events towards conservative positions -- which assuredly nets them more positive attention and engagement on the platform

yeah, this is disconnected from reality. like 85% of my followers are from one of three types of bluesky users (journalists, professors, trans game devs)
What’s this guy on about “reporters don’t want to spend time here”?

if you’re spending your time in the child porn factory, it’s far to ask for your position on said child porn
This is making my point for me. I post about economic reporting and platform engagement, and the response is to accuse me of being fine with child porn. This is exactly the kind of engagement that makes reporters not want to spend time here.
So the child porn isn’t disqualifying for you…

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

He finally invented something himself, a way to inaccurately call Farage a Nazi
Elon Musk is talking about Nigel Farage's Reform Party: he says Reform are trying to eradicate white people in Britain.
He is a radicalised + increasingly racist lunatic - obsessed with theories of white racial extinction + promoting the idea of civil war in Britain
