We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

I wrote about something I've been thinking about for a long time. A kind of post-ironic collapse in our politics and culture where nihilism has become the lingua franca of the internet and beyond. It links Kirk, Clavicular, Epstein, memestock/coin stuff, mass shooters. I hope you'll read it.

An incredible turn of events here. 10/10, no notes. 😂

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.

It's all there.

He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.

Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

but seriously if you want to know how the Trump Kennedy Center Honors went here’s my report from the night-of

It's my birthday today! It was a good day. BTW, I donated $25 to the National Theatre of the Deaf (@NatlTheatreDeaf). I would love it if you could donate, too.

Happy Birthday to the legendary Marcel Marceau, born on this day 102 years ago. Marceau was probably the most iconic and influential figure in modern day mime. His art brought “poetry to silence,” and anyone, regardless of what language they spoke, was able to understand.

We celebrate Phyllis Frelich today, born on February 29, 1944. Phyllis was one of the founding company members and a mainstay of NTD through its first 12 years. She left NTD to play Sarah Norman in “Children of a Lesser God,” becoming the first deaf actress to win a Tony for her work. #DeafTheatre

Did you know? Famed deaf artist Chuck Baird was also a phenomenal storyteller and acted with the NTD over a decade.

Although no longer with us, Chuck lives on in our memories, his stories, and the art he created. He would have been 78 years old today, on February 22, his birthday. #DeafTheatre
