Striking: Internal polling from the Dem-aligned House Majority PAC finds strong dislike of Trump vastly outweighs strongly favorable sentiments toward him even in red-state House districts he won. This intensity gap is a key factor in expanding the map for Dems: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

Dear America Voter, This is what the Trump admin is focused on today, when they aren’t insider trading, making everything more expensive, selling pardons, and taking bribes from cronies. Vote out all Republican enablers of this corrupt and pathetic regime.

Be a Laurie. I think Laurie is probably sleeping pretty dang well at night
As the flight neared final boarding, another ICE officer accused Laurie of interfering with the operation and pressed her to help locate the passenger. Laurie declined to say whether the woman was on the flight's passenger list and told the officer he would need to contact the airline's corporate security department for information. "You're going to need a subpoena," she said. No arrests were made at the gate that day.

The next day, the passenger called her.
She had made it home. And she was with her child.

At an invitation-only gathering in Italy, white supremacists mapped out strategies to target rural America while local press coverage vanishes www.confrontthehate.com/p/white-nati...
As economic pressures gut local newsrooms across the country, white nationalist figures see an untapped opening: stepping into media deserts where there are few journalists left to sound the alarm.

“Local media has been dying all over America, which means that there’s essentially no real way to hold local governments accountable—and they can do whatever they want,” Kevin DeAnna told an invitation-only gathering of approximately 50 white nationalists in Rome.

Breaking into a broad smile, he excitedly added: “You should be fantasizing about this. This is a good thing.”

I'm sure that working in social media - dealing with people as mass statistical abstractions - is a cognitohazard, the sort of thing that could make anyone a little solipsistic, convinced that everyone else is a kind of stimulus-responding automaton lacking the interiority that you experience. 1/
A medieval siege engine, tended by gnome-sized purple figures. Around it are several human-like figures with robot heads, clad in medieval garb. Their legs are missing, tapering off into nothingness. The giant floating head of Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse avatar overlooks the scene. Each of the robot people is being closely observed by a distorted, grotesque version of Zuckerberg's avatar head.

The claim was a lie. Trump had no evidence of vandals. He makes shit up all the time. That's the big story, the never-ending story, the story that needs to be reported over and over.

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading. It was worth it.

One on left is a black dog and above it the words “Reality”. Below it is “I chased a squirrel” 

One the right is a black dog and above it says “LinkedIn”. Below it says, 

Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions.

Humbled by the unwavering support of my family and local stakeholders.

This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance, ownership, and continuous improvement.

Looking forward to scaling this impact in future engagements.

Aside from the references to his service as a Marine, this should be the baseline response for every single elected Democrat. No mealy-mouthed focus-tested mumbly whining. If you're not fucking furious, get out of the fucking way or an infuriated electorate is roll right over you too.

When empires decline. It’s rare in human history that we can so readily identify one man’s name with the decline of empire but at the current pace of American devolution, it’s clear that name will be etched in eternity and most likely in faux gold letters: Trump. open.substack.com/pub/greattra...

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won't be stunned by the greed of the elite; They'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.

The working class didn't just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.

They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.

Not because it helped them.
But because they were told it would hurt someone else.

And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.
