We don’t live in a neutral marketplace of ideas. We live in an attention economy shaped by algorithms, tribal identity, outrage incentives, and profit models that reward engagement over accuracy.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

What you saw from Trump in CA this weekend was not law enforcement. What you saw was a test of ways and means for Trump to disrupt and pervert the 2026 elections. My latest in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Ordering the National Guard to deploy in Los Angeles is a warning of what to expect when his hold on power is threatened.

The entire right-wing strategy is repetition. Hundreds of front groups all saying the same stuff, passed onto tabloids and right-wing media, turned into congressional inquiries, and of course, laundered into the pages of legacy media. It’s not a secret.

keep coming back to this Hannah Arendt line from Origins of Totalitarianism:
“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, …under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”

The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success. Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

It’s extremely noticeable that there haven’t been strikes in response to Trump’s decimation of federal unions. Those unions were built on the premise that they could exercise power without being able to strike. That’s being revealed as a big illusion. inthesetimes.com/article/unio...

We heard the rumors. Maybe president panican will declare martial law, maybe he won’t. But do you think this clown car of incompetent sycophantic signal leakers can keep all 300 million of us down? Absolutely not. We will not comply. Here’s some advice from Oliver Kornetzke. Let’s get weird.
You want to know what non-compliance looks like? It looks like whatever the hell you want it to look like. It’s not about heroism or martyrdom. It’s about being a magnificent, ungovernable pain in the ass. It’s about weaponizing inconvenience, absurdity, and joy against a system that demands fear and obedience.
Throw a wrench in the works—everywhere, all the time. Fill their inboxes with existential poetry. Tape absurd messages in public places: “Authoritarianism gives you hemorrhoids.” Get petty. Get weird. Flush their toilet paper. Release crickets in inconvenient places. Spoil their scripts, trip their rhythm, yank the narrative from their hands.
Because here’s the ugly truth they don’t want you to hear: authoritarianism only works when the people allow it to work. It’s a performance, a bluff, a collective hypnosis. Break the spell. Mock it. Undermine it with your refusal to kneel.
But here’s the thing—this has to be everywhere. Everyone. We need resistance so widespread, so creatively chaotic, so utterly unmanageable, that the regime cracks under the weight of its own overreach.
Be bold. Be clever. Be feral.
And above all—DO NOT COMPLY.

Voters just ousted all 3 of these city councillors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by local LGBT group." The post reports on a local election outcome in Rolla, Missouri, where three city council members who supported anti-LGBT policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship, were voted out.

The debate over whether to take Trump literally or seriously is over. He has now learnt how to be the tyrant he always wished to be.
That took a while. But, with the help he has received, he is there. His administration is engaged in a comprehensive assault on the American republic and the global order it created. Under attack domestically are the state, the rule of law, the role of the legislature, the role of the courts, the commitment to science and the independence of the universities. All these were the pillars on which US freedom and prosperity rested.
Now, he is destroying the liberal international order. Soon, I presume, Trump will be invading countries, as he proceeds to restore the age of empires.
