The film does an excellent job of presenting our present day reality as the end result of events Zuckerberg and Facebook helped facilitate. But for all of its insight, The Social Reckoning still feels like a feature that’s arriving a little too late to have a meaningful impact.

The Social Reckoning is a tepid thriller that reminds us of how we got here
The Social Reckoning puts the Facebook Files on the timeline.

Here's a neat thing! My mom retired after 25+ as a children's librarian at public libraries yesterday. (It was very cool! Hundreds of former Story Hour kids arrived, some as adults!) I let Ed Markey's office know in case they wanted to send a nice email back and they sent this! He's still got it!

Hey, News Outlets! How about just ignoring Donald Trump? It will drive him crazy. His parents never gave him enough attention, so he is still a thirsty brat who needs CONSTANT attention. Start the news with "Trump lied again today" and then move on to news about people/things that are interesting.

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.

Natalie Harp is a year older than Martin Luther King Jr. was when he gave his I Have a Dream speech. She has agency and is running the propaganda operation that serves to put people in concentration camps. She does not get a pass because she looks like a dipshit teenager.

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Unlike Trump and Burgum, Pirro was faced with the prospect of having to actually prove a crime in a court of law with actual evidence and someone there able to challenge it with a legal defense. All Trump and Burgum have to do is feed their cult more BS on social media.

Many of you recall that in 2020 I helped lead an effort to defeat Donald Trump more than 60 times after the election. In 2026, DOJ is 0-19 in cases to obtain state voter files and Elias Law Group is helping lead the way. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.
