The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.

Nope. If we had that power, we'd do it. Stop living in fantasy land and looking for a Hollywood anti-hero to save you. We're not that. We can occasionally share info which, if you all want to organize around it, you do have the power to spark some change with it. But, no, we're not your panacea.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

In this piece, @aselrod.bsky.social reminds us that Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson are trafficking in the vilest forms of male supremacy and are flourishing as huge stars on the right, so there's clearly a huge following for that sort of depravity:
Megyn Kelly claimed Epstein was into “the barely legal type,” referring to 15 year-olds.
So I wrote about how her comments highlight the ways both purity culture and rape culture sexualize young girls and make male desire their responsibility.
