It is crazy that Google took a sledgehammer to the one thing pretty much every internet user in the world used it for. Their name became a fucking verb it was so universally used. Now you get this fucking bollocks trying to search ANYTHING.

I ask again, why are national Dems letting Elon "quietly" fund these races? We have two test cases. 2024 when Dems didn't make his money an issue. And 2025 Wisconsin, where they did. Guess which time they won by double digits?

Elon Musk’s America PAC Is Quietly Funding November’s Most Consequential Elections
America PAC’s approach has been unusual: for every dollar it has spent supporting GOP Senate candidates, it has spent almost three dollars attacking Democrats.

This is part of a lineage in fascist thought that stretches back to the very beginning of their movement and, I would argue, is integral to understanding it. (THREAD)

Shifting the Overton window is the most impactful thing you can do in politics. The far right have understood that well and acted on it. That’s a lesson for the left and centre to still learn.

A lot of folks are concerned about a '28 Jon Ossoff run because he's young and comparatively inexperienced. MANY more are concerned because it could mean losing a pivotal Senate seat. Personally, my concern about Jon Ossoff running in '28 is Pete Buttigieg will try to drop a piano on him

Finally, someone asked him to define socialism &, of course, he can't actually define it. None of this is socialism. These are things that irritate the VP of a Thousand Names because he's an unreconstructed racist, antisemite, homophobe, transphobe, Islamophobe, anti-AAPI, xenophobe, etc.

There is a rather wider minority for abolishing the Monarchy (about 1 in 5 to 1 in 4) than for the controversy of whether only white people can be English (1 in 10). It is weird the media classes are so rarely across how niche this 'controversy' is - about 1/4 Reform voters, but few others
