I feel like there is currently a missed opportunity to pay Mike Johnson’s son for the scoop on what porn his dad watches. You know, for political science purposes.

Can someone please explain to me how it is possible that the very same red-white-and-holy-shit-they’re-stupids flying “don’t tread on me” flags are also like “hell yeah he’s our motherfucking king! Cry harder Libs!”
Explain this to me like I’m 5 and not smarter than all of them combined.
Please.

This exactly. We’ve known for decades that the best way to prevent crime is to provide robust services for individuals, families, and communities. End false scarcity and you end most crime. It’s that simple, but the ruling class would rather criminalize people than ensure they have what they need.
Please stop telling me that crime must be deterred. Studies have shown over and over again that in the context of criminal law, deterrence theory is a myth. It doesn't work. It never has. That's a copaganda myth.
Poverty is the cause of most crime. Eliminate poverty, and you eliminate most crime.

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

This advice is important now, and will be even more important in two weeks, when the next administration is going to flood the zone with horribleness, with the intent of overwhelming everyone into compliance. Pick your battles and keep your focus. Trust others are doing the same elsewhere.

It’s weird how symbols and what they come to symbolize differs.
For my fellow 🧵 Refugees, I’m gonna share what I’ve learned here at 🦋 since arriving with the first wave from CrackerGate in Oct (?).
