These people hate America. See, for instance, the way they talk about Chicago. Chicago is the greatest city on God's Green Earth BECAUSE of the almost infinite variety of people and experiences you can encounter there
it's very strange to me to see guys like this blathering about how america has no common culture. america has so much common culture. we are drowning in american culture. what are they talking about. it's like he saw quesabirria once and thought "this is the end of the republic." psychotic
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

I’ve always had a good time in the Twin Cities
Will second that the Twin Cities are an incredibly fun place to visit, especially if you're into food. Genuinely world-class restaurants often doing interesting, off-the-beaten-path stuff all over the place, and plenty of crowdpleasers too.
If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Political movements based on not critically thinking usually don't attract the brightest members of a society
one thing that comes across in these clips is that bondi is totally out of her depth. just an absolute lightweight. barely sentient.
holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

I’m reminded of the guy in my AP Chem class in high school who sincerely thought Mitt Romney and Hitler were comparable
Again Will is a left wing civil rights lawyer whose worst sin is stubbornness and whose greatest virtue is also stubbornness. That he has been transformed into a demon in the minds of losers is evidence of how pathetically inadequate their vision of actual wickedness is.
the image of will stancil these people have built in their heads (grand wizard of the mega klan) is at odds with any time I've seen him post (dweeby, harmless)

i think if you post like this without offering concrete steps people can take to prepare for and respond to interference or without any acknowledgement of the success (or lack thereof) of this strategy then you are basically engaged in voter suppression.

next he’s going to tell us we have a tradition of mounting bayonet charges into a human sea of seditionists and heroically turning the tide in America’s most epochal conflicts as the battle hymn of the republic plays in the background, and also that’s bad

If people won’t be earnest and genuine, we’re screwed. The world is already full of people who think nothing matters, it’s all a joke, “it’s not that deep.” In the words of WH Auden, “we must love one another or die”
I saw a critique of Springsteen's new song, it being too earnest and cringe, and if I could just take a second to introduce you to the entire Bruce Springsteen catalogue we could settle this in a heartbeat.

Nuremberg Trials. Also dig up Jeff Davis and Robert E Lee and burn them in effigy
We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump.
Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.
