I guarantee you people are going through the guy's FB photos right now trying to find something to use to paint a narrative that he's a monster.
Encountering a misinformation campaign in real time. The bystander who tackled the gunman at Bondi was identified as Ahmed el Ahmed (link below). But in almost every tweet I saw, there are people claiming the real person is "Edward Crabtree," referencing a website called "The Daily."

what is extra frustrating about the continued efforts to kill it is that none of them understand this
everyone attacking it is convinced that killing section 230 will allow them to remove some part of the internet that they don't like, be it content moderation or sex predators, but it's much worse

Bluntly, Section 230 is almost literally the law that the entire internet rests upon, it makes it possible for user generated content to exist on the internet, it’s incredibly important, and genuinely we must defend it at all costs. This place literally would not exist without it.

Excellent thread. Lays out the imperative structual issues a future Dem administration must resolve, or face an eventual repeat of what we're living through now.
I'm convinced there is an electoral solution to Trumpism and we're going to depose this regime via elections. Trump has suffered many defeats in recent weeks. He's weak. He's unpopular. He's sick. The bigger long term problems are 1.) SCOTUS, and 2.) the oligarchy 1/x
The next turn in American politics could be a widespread reaction against Trumpism as a political style, with its vulgarity, hatefulness, and constant threat of violence. If that happens the Republicans who remade themselves in Trump's image will be in trouble.

This is basically the core misery at the heart of the current RW movement. A complete lack of human feelings or emotions, just raw unfiltered sociopathic behavior the entire way down.

a key effect of taking either house of Congress is that the Trump II promise-- there will be no oversight on you, and any excess in service of the regime will be forgiven-- will immediately be revealed as a lie
this is also where I’m at
they have two paths to steal the midterms - intimidate enough people to flip them and outright steal them - and neither seems at all likely to work
once the House has flipped the duck becomes even lamer, even though they will flail hard on the way down

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked.
They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them.
They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.

Dictators like Trump depend upon fear to enforce loyalty. Once defections start, it can be hard to get people back into line.
In the last month or so, we’ve seen defections from MTG, all of Congress on Epstein and leaders on Venezuela, and Indiana on gerrymandering.
That’s a sea change.

the problem with staking your reputation on being a bully it is doesn't matter how many times you succeeded, they'll still remember the failures more.
- collapsing approval ratings on the economy
- KAG freed, entire case against him revealed as a sham
- Trump explicitly threatens Indiana, loses GOP votes
- letitia james not indicted on the third try
today feels like the beginning of the end.

put aside the 14th amendment issues. At a certain point, when your organizing principle is defiance of the Constitution, you cannot claim to validly hold a role within the constitutional structure
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

It also matters that the Indiana State GOP were genuinely mad and outraged about it. This isn’t some type of mere technical backfire. This isn’t some type of 4D-Chess strategy to favor Trump. He was just told “No.”

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!
