The trump administration and the tech oligarch Epstein class are the greatest threat to Americans' free speech rights in our nation's history
Posting about ICE on Instagram is now enough to get you an “administrative subpoena.” 👀

It's also part of a very direct negation of the latest stupid tweet by Musk: people have given so much, two of them their lives, to defend a multicultural city and the rights of people not exactly like them. And that multiculturalism is American culture.

It is crazy that it is not talked about more frequently as a corrupt vehicle for Trump to channel foreign money into his own pockets in order for Western colonization of Gaza. It will only serve as a vector of extremism, probably for generations.

My timeline is half leftists complaining about Gavin Newsom and half liberals complaining about Graham Platner and I'd like to propose that we launch both of them into the sun together.

i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.
look if you want to freak out about people not voting newsom if he's the nominee a week before the 2028 general election, I kinda get it (but don't say you weren't warned). doing it now though is just a weird attempt to strong arm people into supporting him in the primary.
I think most (not all) of the "I will never vote for Gavin Newsom" people are communists who are mad that Americans don't like communism and want to destroy the Democratic party out of revenge. They don't care how many elections Republicans win or how many trans people die as long as the Dems fall.

Members of Congress, too. Some Dems have woken up, but the House GOP made the ridiculously overblown "Twitter Files" their first big oversight fixation in 2023, playing directly to Musk and his Beliebers, believing—possibly correctly—that the slimest attempts to limit disinformation cost Trump 2020.
It's galling to contemplate but I really think you have to admit that Musk buying X was an unqualified victory. It can't be exaggerated just how much prominent journalists, pundits, business type, etc. mistake the vibe on X for "how the country is feeling."

Also, please miss me with this "transformational politics" nonsense about allowing people who have made mistakes to lead. We are a nation of 300 plus million people. Pretty sure we can restrict our top 500 politicians to people who have never had Nazi tattoos if we have the willpower.

Funny story, the 2024 election had more disinformation riddling it than any other in history. Here's what that looks like in practice
New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

I really don't care about anyone's "he can't do this because states run elections!" argument.

This is an explicit pledge to rule lawlessly by the commander-in-chief of the world's most powerful military, who is also currently constructing a nationwide system of detention camps.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

It's a bit disturbing to think that Jeffrey Epstein may have been in touch with the head of the Secret Service Dallas Field Office as late as 2009, after Epstein had already been convicted in 2008.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Julie Le should never have a sound night of sleep or a peaceful meal at a restaurant again, just like the rest of the administration’s goon squad, and if you’re cheering for her because she complained about her job—which she chose—you’re a naif

I read this, and I almost regret it. What do you even do with the knowledge that Epstein wanted and was trying to engineer societal breakdown via far right populism bc he thought it would benefit his sex trafficking business?
I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

Putting on my suit and tie and going on America Erwache to describe a 234 year old basic requirement of the constitution for lawful searches and seizures as a “nonstarter.”
Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

It’s a feature in prisons too, and also—hate to tell you—in the general population when governments engage in necropolitics to achieve their objectives.

It’s why we’re being told vaccines are optional and that constant illness is simply the new normal.
death from disease in concentration camps is so widespread and so predictable that it's pretty clearly a feature, not a bug.
ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.
