Anyone still engaging on X is helping to advance the cause of Elon Musk and his Nazi allies and that factors in when I decide who I can and can't trust in this movement
I got off Twitter pretty soon after Musk started making big changes but it was tough for me and for a time I understood people continuing to post over there. But it’s continued to get worse, the algos have become blatantly skewed and for a while decent people staying has been incomprehensible to me.

if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this.

It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.
For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok.

Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.

Something to think on today for progressive/leftist causes: The legacy media is never going to like you, so what do you need to do to make them irrelevant?

Again, the man who’s next in line for the presidency after this walking corpse has said he’s deeply influenced by this outright Nazi, so maybe we could get a little more attention on that?
Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”

Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

The US Senate, the two party system, the electoral college and the Supreme Court exist to keep the majority from getting what it wants.

We don’t need more breaks on popular majorities—we need to change our institutions so they channel what the people want into law.

~<Every single institution> we have is counter-majoritarian:

- A hyper-gerrymanded House

- A hyper-malapportioned Senate with staggered elections

- FPTP SMDs in a continent-wide country with our urban/rural population distribution

- The EC

Stop it. We need <checks on counter-majoritarianism>

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Donald Trump sent young women from his spa at Mar-a-Lago to give “massages” to Jeffrey Epstein.

“The house calls went on for years.”

"What a year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025’s… booming markets, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And about a quarter of this year’s gains went to just eight billionaires.” — Bloomberg Morning Brief

Mass non-cooperation like strikes and boycotts are the most effective means of fighting back against authoritarian regimes.

Elites who oppose strikes and boycotts do not understand what it will take to revive democracy.

Politics is not fan culture—none of these people are your friends. There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

We can be grateful that MTG is against Trump without liking her or thinking of her as a long-term ally. The anti-Trump coalition must be huge.

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Trump says the Epstein Files are a Democrat hoax, but only Democrats were guilty of crimes with Epstein.

He says the DOJ should stop releasing files and everyone should stop talking about it, but also the DOJ should charge Democrats with crimes.

This is how you talk when you’re guilty as hell.
