Twitter, Meta, and Tiktok are all state media now. They will suppress and censor narratives, beliefs, and views opposed by the administration.

For some of the younger people out there, in the early 90's, Snoop Dogg and other big gangsta rappers were seen by conservatives as threatening and scary. Now Snoop shills for crypto at Trump's inauguration and Ice Cube hangs out with Tucker Carlson.

3 years ago, David Sacks paid people like Glenn Greenwald, Briahna Joy Gray, Katie Halper, and Aaron Maté to do podcasts for his website.
Now, he's paying off Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, and Soulja Boy to shill for Trump at his pre-inauguration "Crypto Ball".
I hate this timeline.

In fact, his most cherished economic policy will almost certainly make things much worse.

FYI Bluesky folks. Keep this in mind. CNN "Most Americans approve how Trump is handling his return to the White House" Important to keep perspective. This site is an echo chamber of sorts. Just like Twitter has become. www.cnn.com/2024/12/11/p...
CNN Poll: Most Americans approve how Trump is handling his return to the White House | CNN Politics
Most Americans expect President-elect Donald Trump to do a good job upon his return to the White House next month (54%), and a majority approves of how he’s handling the presidential transition so far...

A humanities professor abandoning humanities in service to AI is the irony of all ironies. Also as a student, this course better be super cheap/free.
I choose to believe this is an elaborate piece of performance art, because I refuse to accept that any humanities professor would accept this total abdication of our basic duties.
Why not just toss the students a Magic 8-Ball?

For the first time, EPA modeled this risk down to the census block — and we mapped it.

This is such a great thought. And encapsulates how I feel to some degree.
8. What I have come to realize, however, is that the fight against the far right is secondary to the fight to strengthen liberal democracy. These are related but fundamentally not the same struggles.

3. I need some time and distance to assess both my own ideas and those from others. At the moment, I don’t so much think I underestimate the strength of the far right but rather significantly overestimated the strength of liberal democracy.

I was invited to speak about the upcoming Trump era and share some lessons and optimism. I declined politely. After more than 25 years of researching the far right, I have no more (new) lessons and optimism to share.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

Scary stuff to postulate. Correction, scary stuff to have to postulate.
I feel like it'd be useful for someone to draw up a graphic of the people who'd leave DOD/contractors if Pete Hegseth had his way.
Lots of Republicans will vote for an alleged sexual assailant (the all voted for Trump, after all!). But it'd be useful to lay out they're voting for gutting military.

Hard to change the mind of the lost
Maybe people really do have to see deportations - and be in them - before they get that this type of bravado is insane. I don't know. But if the Democrats cannot actually sound like a working-class party - and Harris did some of that, to her credit - 2026 is not going to be pretty. /6x
