Jane Borden's "Cults Like Us: Why Doomsday Thinking Drives America" develops a simple thesis: The Pilgrims were essentially a doomsday cult who passed on seven key elements of belief that have shaped America ever since. My author interview: 1/13 www.salon.com/2025/05/26/h...

How America got so weird: The Pilgrims made us do it

Those guys who landed at Plymouth Rock were a doomsday cult, says Jane Borden — and we've emulated them ever since

Every time I try to type “Indivisible” my autocorrect thinks I want to type “Indica.” OMG do I need some Indica in my life now.

Tonight the warped ramblings of the president’s troubled mind were highlighted by a bizarre post about reopening Alcatraz As well as the feud between Trump and Hollywood But soon enough Americans will stop laughing at Trump’s halfwitted missives When the 145% tariffs on China start to kick in

Trump is a monster, and if not stopped, will transform Alcatraz into a death camp.

Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

Your occasional reminder that tariffs are constitutionally a Congressional power, which they have delegated to the President under the premise that there is some sort of emergency. The Republicans in Congress can reclaim that power anytime they want.

Republicans voted to block hearings on #SignalGate yesterday. They know that if they allow hearings we’ll learn that Felon47s foreign policy team broke the law & expose all of the other Cabinet level meetings taking place outside of security & record keeping protocols. #DemVoice1

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

People always say Star Trek is utopian but everyone forgets the history of how they got there. There was a 30 year long WW3 that started in 2026 and led to a collapse of society within hundreds of millions dying. It was only the invention of the warp drive that changed the trajectory.

We don't know what Elon Musk meant with that hand gesture but we do know he's reinstated Hitler apologists on X, praised an extreme far-right German political party and endorsed the claim that Jews push "hatred against whites" www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

washingtonpost.com

Antisemitism was rising online. Then Elon Musk’s X supercharged it.

Antisemitism has long festered on the internet, but the Israel-Gaza war and the loosening of content moderation on X have propelled it to unprecedented levels.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

Its a billionaires club.They don’t want better public schools or knowledgeable citizens. They want ignorant workers who won’t question. If you don’t know your rights you wont see them vanishing. If u don’t know facts you wont question the lies. They dont care abt us. To them we are replaceable.
