If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:
1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

Beisbol is so stressful. Almost nine years in Seattle and the one year I decide to start cheering for the Mariners I sign up for stress.

I’m genuinely surprised they didn’t just lie about this or not tell us.
The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

I said this elsewhere but the way that the white male dominated field of economics is defending Lisa should tell you how serious this move is. Not that they wouldn’t — her work is stellar — but this isn’t a case like Harvard where colleagues are willing to risk losing a colleague.
Earlier this year, I told people to consider buying savings bonds and moving money to banks in other countries in case something bad happened to US banks and the Federal Reserve. I didn't want to be right, but the campaign to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook is alarming.

Will Meet The Press ask random other white politicians to condemn Trump's antisemitic language this weekend? Or does that only apply to Mamdani?

This is why Hakeem and Gillibrand and the party line Dems and consultants hate Zohran. They say they want a "Joe Rogan of the left" and it's clear that the Dems do not need that at all. Zohran fucks up the whole grift game.
He's pulling back the curtain and they're scared shitless.

we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him
I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

We confuse “you need to do something” with “I alone must be present for anything to be happening”
Hell is already here. If people who organize don’t know you? You didn’t want to be known. You can change that. You cannot, however, choose to be unknown and then claim to not know what to do.

The thing is, if no one has called you to tell you what to do that’s because no one who is doing anything knows you. That’s something YOU control. If you aren’t known to orgs, then they cannot call you.
Go. Or don’t. But either way the emotions of watching it happen are your own to manage.
