Ossoff: "Frankly, I'm surprised Georgia Republicans want the president here. Donald Trump is deeply unpopular in Georgia because he's a failed president who lied the country into war, who has driven the cost of groceries, fuel, and healthcare to their all time highs."

Even if you don't count rampant racism, antisemitism and misogyny as, you know, "big things" that matter to you personally, X is still a dumpster fire plagued with bots and bought-off blue check scammers that's being run by a white nationalist billionaire. Denial doesn't make any of *that* untrue.

Part of the work of this moment is to insist on and expect compliance — and ensure that any noncompliance or efforts to lie to or otherwise mislead courts remain unacceptable and to be investigated thoroughly whenever they happen. They must remain seen — and responded to — as an aberration.

Bluntly, I do not want to — and just can't — deal with it constantly. I am working nonstop to explain what's going on, but people insisting on doom not only do harm by helping Trump and his minions — but it also causes harm to the lawyers and activists fighting back and to those of us covering it.

I don't believe I was naive back in 2024 when I said that military leadership wouldn't fire on its own citizens in 2028, but the thing is they fired all the military leadership who wouldn't act on an illegal order since then, so that no longer applies

Reminder that HSI should be wholly abolished and none of its staff kept. Their mission is to investigate "the illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology." They're just letting that happen, too busy doing this and guarding the reflecting pool Trump ruined.

Good for you if you missed this but if you want to be in the know: MAGA right has been pushing a conspiracy theory all day on X that Talarico checked into a mental health facility in Ohio. A MAGA activist appears to have lied to the facility about being a relative to get info & posted a recording.

Here's the "action" on X right now: right-wing propaganda about Talarcio checking into a psychiatric hospital; the claims are absurd on their face and literally impossible because Talarico was seen in public at the same time. X is rapidly banning accounts that point out flaws in it. "Action." 🙄

But the bigger problem is that there’s little action on Bluesky or, especially, Mastodon. There’s a lot of activity on Threads, but little action. There is action on X. I’ve said for years that Mastodon is my favorite of the bunch and in a way it still is, but really that’s because when I go there I don’t have to be diligent to avoid wasting time. I avoid wasting time on Mastodon because there’s so little of interest to see. That’s a feature — for me — but it certainly isn’t what most people are looking for in a Twitter-like posting platform. They want action. The action is on X.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

Every word of this from @drewmagary.bsky.social. Democrats will likely retake Congress, but what they do next is an open question. That's why it's important for us all to press Democrats -- right now -- to commit to an aggressive agenda of oversight and accountability.

As desperate as Republicans are to hold onto power, the Democratic establishment is even more rattled. An oil slick like Schumer sees his GOP chums on the other side of the aisle get marginalized by an interloper (Trump), and now fears a similar interloper on his side doing likewise. The Schumers of the DNC fear the likes of Zohran Mamdani and AOC (even as she's gone about sanding down her politics over the last eight years) far more than they fear Trump. So if they wrest control of Congress a month from now, their priority won’t be to reform a brazenly corrupt Supreme Court, or to punish Trump and his many accomplices for their endless crimes, or to finally cut off aid to Israel, or even to force an end to that shitty war in Iran. All they’ll do is sit on their candy asses and wait around for the next election. Then they’ll tell you the best way, the most responsible way, to express your anger at their indifference is to continue voting for them.

Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.
