“It’s crazy,” Fuentes, 28, said during one of his near-nightly shows. “I have done nothing my whole life and career but attack women and have negative attitudes toward women, and it’s women that are really backing me up.” Read this from @drewharwell.com wapo.st/4hhXF1t

She helped lead a far-right internet movement. Then it turned on her.
Amy Dangerfield worked to become one of Nick Fuentes’s model “groypettes,” but a vicious fight left her grappling with the dark side of far-right fame.

A new media ecosystem is taking root on the left, reshaping Democratic politics
More progressive Americans are swearing off traditional media. They’re turning to independent podcasts, social media and digital news for information.

Donie O’Sullivan @donie.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
But just as MAGA media helped remake the Republican Party into the party of Trump, some in the Democratic Party worry these new blue outlets could pull their party to an extreme.

Donie O’Sullivan @donie.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
Quite a transformation in a decade: when The Young Turks was the biggest (only) online left show in town, and even a grassroots-online campaign like Bernie's still needed legacy media to reach a mass audience.

Donie O’Sullivan @donie.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
🧵Democrats/the left have close to as comprehensive an online media ecosystem now as MAGA had four years ago. From Crooked Media and Meidas to Hasan Piker and Zeteo -- even Ezra Klein at the NYT. This has been essential to the rise of democratic socialist candidates.

Hasan Piker didn't endorse Kamala Harris in 2024 — largely over her stance on Israel, an approach other Democrats say only helps Republicans. I asked Piker whether he'd back the 2028 Democratic nominee.

The core of the right-wing information universe is that one correction from a mainstream outlet proves it can’t be trusted and that one accurate claim in a flurry of false ones proves that they must be.

A good reminder that it is happening to nearly all of us. I remember one time being embarrassed when corrected by a mate after repeating some falsehood I read online but didn’t check because it sounded plausible. Who knows how many times I was wrong without the correction.

This isn’t just happening to the wacky tin-foil-hat folks, clearly. In some ways it’s happening to all of us, dozens or hundreds of times a day, on our social media feeds. Algorithms serve us the things they know we want to hear, shaping our perceptions of everything.

Donie O’Sullivan @donie.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
It’s normally the result of someone recalling something they saw in passing on their social media feed — a rumor that confirms what they already want to believe about a story, so they accept it without further scrutiny.

Donie O’Sullivan @donie.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
This is exactly what I run into with conspiracy theorists — a stray, unverified claim gets treated as if it debunks the real story, and it almost always falls apart under scrutiny. Wild to hear that pattern showing up at 60 Minutes as Cecilia Vega describes it.
