it's so funny to try to legitimize a moronic argument by claiming that it is supported by a growing movement of diverse thinkers and then you list the people who belong to that movement and every single one is stupid and/or racist

One of these guys won’t write under his real name. The other couldn’t write anything remotely readable until he got a ghostwriter. And together they love Game Of Thrones, as if it’s high literature. And that’s just beautiful.

NEW: One year ago, we caught a peek of MAGA authoritarianism when men roughly dragged a woman named Teresa out of an Idaho town hall.
This is the story behind that viral video and the radicalization of the community where it happened.

MAGA bootlickers like Nick Sortor and Andy Ngo are trying to penetrate your communications in a protest and ferry that info to a corrupt FBI.
We made a short, evergreen podcast to help people use signal on the streets during a protest:

Saw 82-year-old Wallace Shawn perform The Fever at Greenwich House Theater last night. (Here he is moving through the crowd before the show very casually.)
Incredible performance of a show that feels even more urgent in the Trump era.

Learned from the Posting Through It podcast just how many MAGA-era influencers turned to politics after failing at more glamorous pursuits — theater, comedy, fashion, TV, movies, music. Knowles, if I’m not mistaken, had dreams of Broadway.
Michael Knowles and the other Daily Wire chuds play act at being celebrities because it’s the thing they actually crave
“You can sense, particularly from characters like Knowles, a cloying desperation to be seen as important, shiny media figures in their own right. They want the glow of stardom, and they hate the people who have it.” www.liberalcurrents.com/none-more-wo...

We have been talking on the pod about why we are worried about what MAGA could do to upcoming elections. @hunterw.bsky.social helps spell out why here.
If everything turns out okay, that's great. But you always need to prepare for the worst:

Leon Botstein, president of @bardcollege.bsky.social, has repeatedly made public statements about his relationship with the pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that have turned out to be misleading, incomplete, or untrue. I'm going to make a thread to compile them all here.
