On this week’s premium episode, Mike and I talk about the Red Scare podcast, a truly egregious GQ article about Nick Fuentes, and TPUSA’s plan to host an alternative Super Bowl halftime show. We also debut a butt rock song we recorded.

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

I just found out about Posting Through It a short while ago, and it's cemented itself as a must-listen podcast in just a few episodes.

The interview with @gbbranstetter.bsky.social last week was extraordinary. Gillian does a beautiful job of bringing clarity to the argument.
