We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

This is the trust trap, and we have seen it play out again and again in institutions like media, higher ed and govt. The right feeds distrust, use that distrust as a justification to take control, and then undermine the core competencies that everyone else actually values, further eroding trust.

“Tens of thousands of Arab Americans in Dearborn and beyond flocked to Trump in the 2024 presidential election due to his opponent, Kamala Harris’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza.” Sorry, no, it’s because she was a woman. Trump was more pro-Israel than Harris. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I went looking for this file myself on the DOJ files record. It is nowhere to be found now. Not only is Ron DeSantis accused of rape, so are Clarence Thomas and Steve Bannon.

FAFO alert: when the crux of your business depends on people who are the main target of this regime, maybe don’t give them your vote. You could have swallowed your male pride, voted for a woman, and continued successfully building houses.

Two things can be true: we’re a competitive authoritarian state with all sorts of efforts to put a thumb on the scale of who has power AND we have sufficiently free and sufficiently fair elections that every month we see the party in power lose.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

When I used to be on Facebook, starting in 2016, I said regularly “Trump is Hitler before Hitler became Hitler.” Trump’s invasion of Europe will start with Greenland. As with Hitler, Europe will fail to respond. As Hitler did, Trump will see such weakness as a reason to keep invading.
