It will always come back to the part where these people hated what he hated, and far too many voted for him because they too wanted to spite others and make their lives a misery. Whatever lament or rue they may now have, it pales in comparison to their complicity - www.rawstory.com/trump-suppor...

We talk a lot about bots online, but less about the secondary effect, which is turning people like Joe Rogan into effectively human bots who only repeat the engagement bait posts they see on the timeline

Court can't go on like this. The Constitution as plainly as possible says people who were born here have an unequivocal right to citizenship. Four people whose ONLY job is to read the Constitution for the rest of their lives just tried to overturn it because they're tired of brown people. Pack it.

I feel the same way about AI as I do about the internet—both could be incredibly valuable contributions to society if they’re managed for the public good. In the hands of fascist tech billionaires, they’re a threat the civilization. It’s not the tech, it’s the ownership structure.

Treat Trumpists like adults and confront them with how wrong they have been. Americans who are still connected to reality owe it to their right-wing neighbors to be honest.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way
The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk's work.
