Golly, why would someone like Ted Cruz want to empower Dem Centrism? It's almost as if fascism isn't possible without Centrist neoliberalism.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Hey Ezra Klein, is this doing politics the right way?

Screenshot of a social media post by a verified user praising a graphic design team. Below the text is a photo of promotional materials from “TPUSA Faith.” The largest item is a red and black poster showing a stylized illustration of a child with a gloved hand covering their mouth. Bold text on the poster reads, “THEY RECRUIT BECAUSE THEY CAN’T REPRODUCE.” Around the poster are various stickers and buttons with religious and political messages, including ones that say “PRAY,” “The King’s Drag Queen Story Hour,” and “Even Heaven Has Secure Borders.” Branded strips with the slogan “ENGAGE • EQUIP • EMPOWER” and the website “TPUSAFAITH.COM” appear at the bottom. The background shows other overlapping printed materials.

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism. Project 2025's parent org is pushing it. It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption. Subscribe to support our journalism.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

Mainstream media's Charlie Kirk narrative: Sure, he believed LGBTQ people should be stoned to death, black people are inferior and unqualified, women are only meant to serve men, 10 year old girls should be forced to give birth. But he meant well.

The more white wing media at the Times and the Post try to gaslight people about what Kirk stood for, the more social media accounts, and new media journalists will continue posting receipts.

But I was told by the New York Times that marriage equality was a stunning success that succeeded because of its modest political goals. Almost like the last two decades of progress were hollow assimilationism into a collapsing neoliberal order rather than actual liberation.
A screenshot of an ABC News article published on August 11, 2025. The headline reads, "Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling." The sub-headline adds, "Kim Davis, a former clerk who refused gay couples, brought the appeal." The article is written by Devin Dwyer.

Elon Musk retweeted a post saying that women were "built to be traded" like property.
A repost by Elon Musk shows a tweet from Dr. Insensitive Jerk (@DrInsensitive). The tweet expresses controversial and inflammatory views about women and Western culture. It claims that women are built to be traded or captured and integrate into new cultures for safety, referring to them as "physically weak." It argues that women conform to and amplify the dominant culture and suggests that Western women are now promoting an "anti-white culture," despite being white themselves. The tweet concludes by implying that white men should remind women of their identity to avoid harsher consequences.

Below this, a smaller embedded tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) replies to another user, stating: "They’ve been programmed to do so by their teachers and the media."
