This. People acting *shocked* that maga are complete hypocrites on this when that’s how they are with everything.
/2 But here's what people like Charlie Kirk know:
It doesn't matter who the shooter actually was. It doesn't matter what their motives actually were. They can lie about it, propagandize it, deny it, and their audience will eat it up. And the legacy media will both-sides it in response.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.
Count the Dead by the Millions
From HIV and tuberculosis infections to millions of dead children, the deadly impact of Rubio, Musk and Trump’s agenda has been quantified.

we can really exponentiate these Target boycotts with multi-layered algorithmic sabotage
sure they’re losing money but…
- we can fuck up their inventory
- we can cost them in retargeting
- we can trigger investor panic for the q1 earnings call

The only way to keep your footing in a time of constant gaslighting is to approach every action with the question, “who benefits from this?”
Sure, MAGA gets a kick out of doing shit just to hurt people, but cruelty on its face doesn’t always make money.
Every action. Ask who benefits.

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

Lots of noise about politicians’ portfolios, esp Nancy Pelosi - then if you actually look at it, it’s the most basic, vanilla tech portfolio ever. Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia. Exactly what someone representing California would invest in. 🥱

also, please read this breakdown of how bots affect a site’s culture. i suspect everyone who has ever had a large-ish following (or pay close attention to those who do) knows this already, but it is super important to keep in mind, especially over the next few years!
So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.
The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal
