My work is more niche than the big newsletters. For me to keep making a living between The Bugbear Dispatch, freelancing, and occasional public speaking, I depend on reader support—both financial support and help finding my audience without Twitter. Please help if you can. You have my gratitude ❤️

David Neiwert has been one of the sharpest observers and analysts of the US right since the 1980s. His work from the early 2000s is eerie in terms of how prescient it now seems. At the time, however , precious few mainstream outlets paid any attention to his reporting . prospect.org/politics/202...

If Kamala becomes president we should really focus on Canada electing a woman as president as well. I would love to see how a continent mostly run by women would work out.

Forgive me if this is all obvious, but: 1. For a very long time (since 1965, basically) American society has long been coming to a point where it has to decide whether it's going to be ruled as a multiracial democracy or a minoritarian apartheid regime. This is a binary choice, no third options.

Truth is a direction, not a final destination. Truth is a method, not the sole preserve of any individual. The biggest threat to the truth is not falsehood, but bad faith bullshit that seeks to disrupt the democratic mechanisms thru which complex modern societies seek to generate actionable truths.

We should ask Republican candidates to explain why they think diversity is bad. "You use the word 'inclusion' with a negative connotation, so does that mean you're in favor of exclusion? If so, who do you think should be excluded?" Make them make the argument...or make them shut up about it.

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk's trans daughter, is absolutely torching him on Threads (yes, this is her, she confirmed with video). You absolutely love to see it, except for the fact that it's not happening on Bluesky.
Threads post by @vivlainous: There’s a lot of stuff I need to debunk which I will get to don’t worry, but I want to start with what I find the funniest which is the notorious “slightly autistic” tweet. This is gonna be a bit so just bare with me

This is entirely fake. Like, literally none of this ever happened. Ever. I don’t even know where he got this from. My best guess is that he went to the Milo Yiannopoulis school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random and said “eh- good enough” in a last-ditch attempt to garner sympathy points when he is so obviously in the wrong even in his own fucking story.

I did not have a “love of musicals & theatre” when I was four, because y’know… I was fucking four. I did not know what these things were. My earliest real experience with musicals was when my twin brother had a hamilton phase in 8th/9th grade and overplayed it so much in the car to the point where for a long time I swore off the entire genre.Threads posts by @vivlainous: I never picked out jackets for him to wear and I was most certainly not calling them “fabulous” because literally what the fuck. I did not use the word fabulous when I was four because once again I would like to reiterate… I was four. Like this is so obvious I don’t even think it warrants explanation but apparently people believe this nonsense so here I am.
This entire thing is completely made up and there’s a reason for this. He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness. Obviously he can’t say that, so I’ve been reduced to a happy little stereotype f*g-ing along to use at his discretion. I think that says alot about how he views queer people and children in general.
As for if I’m not a woman… sure, Jan. Whatever you say. I’m legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and I don’t concern myself with the opinions

The scariest part of the MAGA response to the attempted assassination of Trump is how consistently it’s blamed on a “they” who is apparently determined to destroy America. The idea that Hinckley and Crooks are connected in any way is ludicrous. But feeds a victimization narrative well.

Last year this time we were learning about a billionaire Nazi memorabilia enthusiast buying the house belonging to Clarence Thomas’s mom and paying for his nephew to attend a $60k per year private school, but we’re supposed to be worried that Beyoncé will have undue influence.

Every American over the age of 71 was born before Brown v. Board. Today's 65 year olds were born in the midst of a massive, white supremacist backlash against Brown v. Board.

Just did the math and this blows about a $20k hole in what I expected to make in 2024. I absolutely get it if you can’t afford to be a Patreon patron or paid subscriber to my newsletter. Under these circumstances, could I please ask you to boost this post though? That would help immensely—thanks!

If you support the queer people in your life, but question, debate, and argue over the rights of trans people, you never actually supported queer people. It's really as simple as that.

Trump's latest bizarre argument in his fundraising emails is that "Biden's border bloodbath" is going to destroy social security and medicare, and Trump is the guy who will save those programs. Wut? FWIW, undocumented workers contribute about $13 billion per year to SSA, and $3 billion to medicare.

There are two important lessons to be drawn from how easily and skillfully independent journalist @katzonearth.bsky.social exposed the lie at the center of Katie Britt's SOTU response. One is that the death of newspapers is bad for democracy. But the other lesson... flaminghydra.com/there-should...
