If Trump launches an illegal war against Venezuela without congressional authorization Congress must impeach him immediately.
He has no legal authority to start a war. It’s insane, unconstitutional, and criminal.

MAGA opposes free and fair elections because they don’t want working people to have the power to throw corrupt billionaire politicians out of office.
NEW: Republican attorney Eric Neff — who boasts a reputation of working with election-conspiracy theorists and who himself spread such theories — is replacing a veteran attorney with ties to Cleta Mitchell as the new acting chief of the voting section at the DOJ.

Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay. This would not necessarily be an issue if I were not visually impaired and currently out of full time work, but I am humbly asking for assistance now. Any bit helps.

I told my partner this morning that I wish I had the time and energy to read around monetary policy and crypto because I have a nascent thought about two economies, racial capitalism, and tech finally unlocking the dream of caste to permanently bifurcate a nation’s power from its lowest castes.

The dangerousness of the right doesn't come from the power of their ideas, but the ownership of the means of distributing ideas.
You can't fight against Musk's fascist project by using his product. You fight against Musk's fascist project by boycotting his products: that requires discipline.

I really disagree with this and think nihilism is often used as an excuse for undisciplined behavior.
counterpoint: nothing you post on any social media platform will in any way combat the dangerousness of the right

Returning to twitter to minister to the hogs and do my part to improve the conversation. Fixing Andrew Tate's heart by talking about the NBA with him. Replying "Are you watching Plurbus" to a Rod Dreher post about demonic possession and kicking off a healing round of good-natured discourse.

Although Trump’s abhorrent political beliefs are ultimately more damaging to the nation, his reprehensible personality is more shocking to me on a personal level.
I can’t fathom how anyone can support someone who is so obviously a terrible human being.

It’s true that the right is trying to kill you and the left is just annoying sometimes.
On the one hand, it doesn’t speak well of the people who can’t tell the difference.
On the other hand, it does say something about how annoying we all can be sometimes.

I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.
The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

I personally reveled in arguing with the right on Twitter. But, I don’t think X is comparable—it’s owned by a white nationalist who is tweaking the algorithm to promote white nationalism.
The correct response is a massive boycott, not just individual acts of pique.

IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.

antisemitism is a canary in the coal mine. if it’s rising it means your society is failing. i haven’t had my coffee yet but im pretty sure i mostly actually do believe this.
I don’t think there’s even a straightforward set of policy prescriptions for antisemitism because its both concurrent with and downstream of like 15 other massive societal problems we’re doing hardly anything to solve
