This year, Halloween collided with a right-wing digital machine that has spent the last year trying to co-opt, drown out, and weaponize social platforms.

I left after the nazi letter in early 2024. And they don't make it easy to leave. I spent that summer watching my growth totally flatline and thought Garbage Day was basically over. I don't think that anymore. I left Substack with around 65k readers. We're now basically at 100k.

Zohran doesn't speak until later, but he came out to personally escort Hochul off stage after the heckling. Rough stuff lol.

Hochul pronounced "Mamdani" wrong and now the crowd is yelling it back at her. Brutal. She can't get a word out. Huge chants of "tax the rich" at her, as well. She finally broke down and just said, "I can hear you."

Wow this is rough. Gov Kathy Hochul is speaking the Zohran rally. She's listing examples of Trump admin overreach in NY and the crowd is heckling her loudly, chanting, "do something, you're the governor." Taking forever for her to get through her speech.

At the Zohran, AOC, Bernie Sanders rally in NYC. Cops just threw this guy out. Onlookers in the section said he was with another man who was also thrown out for screaming about communism in Cuba (being bad). Rally doesn't start for like another hour. Weird decision to start heckling so early.

A second favorable Graham Platner poll has hit the timeline. Here's some more thoughts from me on the end of "cancel culture" and how we navigate a world of feeds jammed up with impenetrable outrage.

I've spent the last year interviewing prominent Dems, pundits, and internet culture researchers, who have all sort of been saying the same thing: It's possible we're living in a post-"cancel culture" world. Platner's favorable polling and huge IRL crowds seem to point to that being the case.

Today we're sharing a piece from @bumas.bsky.social we sent out to our paying readers yesterday. It's, as best we can tell, the most definitive list of who is running Trump's digital operation. Meet the far-right hype house flooding our of our feeds with shit.

Fascinating platform story happening around the Graham Platner stuff. The number one source for almost all of the discourse about Platner on X right now is from an account that only had 70 followers at the start of the week, isn't a real Maine news outlet of any kind, and was created in August.

The twin scandals of Graham Platner's Reddit history and the Young Republican nazi texts, though vastly different in scope and seriousness, reveal the defining political question of the 2020s: How do you manage an entire country of angry, online men?

The Trump admin is fully powered by the attention economy. A universe of dumbasess talking to other dumbasess, built on the assumption our tastes have grown so rotten and atrophied that we can't even remember a world where we weren't inundated by worthless slop.

The key innovation of Trump's second term is figuring out how to both scale the localized MAGA frenzy beyond just him and his rallies and, also, most importantly, figure out a way to force it on blue states.

Chicago, Portland, and everywhere else. This is how it's going to work now: ICE raids, National Guard occupation, far-right militias, spree shooters, and constant digital static. It's not a question of if the Trump meat grinder will come to town, it's when.
