I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Do we all agree on what he slogan Free Palestine” means? I took screenshots of an illustrated post by Jordyn Tilchen on Instagram explaining how it was designed to be vague & sow chaos by not having a 100% clear definition. Please read this through this thread & understand the manipulation at work.>

THE PROBLEM WITH
"FREE PALESTINE”

It's probably the most successful slogan of the last decade.
It's also one of the least specific.
That's not a bug. It's a feature.

Thought bubble: “Okay, but… what does it actually mean?” (Asking for a friend)

In addition to eugenicist and neo-Nazi social media posting, Musk is a big supporter of the neo-Nazi Party in Germany and spoke at one of its rallies last year. He has a 1st Amend right to be a Nazi, but he’s a security risk and should have his govt security clearance and contracts revoked.

If the Democrats really want to run on an anti corruption platform (and i think they should), this means coming out against prediction markets, crypto, and sports betting, all of which are either directly corrupt or facilitate corrupt acts.

Jews were like “hey, can you stop using ‘Zio’? It’s literally a slur coined by neo-Nazi David Duke and doesn’t actually refer to people who hold Zionist political positions, it just means ‘Jew.’” And people were largely like “lol get wrecked Zionist baby-killers.”

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
