The proprietor of The Other Place has been cozying up to white supremacism.
I want to make sure we’re clear on that as he tries to get back in Trump’s favor and his companies become even more closely meshed with the Pentagon.

The X situation is an excellent example of the perils of neoliberalism. The state has become so beholden to a private service provider for public service announcements, they're resorting to equivocation on responsibility for CSAM and violent misogyny on that platform rather than risk losing it.

Lack of nuance from people is so saddening. 2 things can be true at once.
We can stand against a dictator & oppressor AND stand against Imperialism under the guise of liberation!

A corrupt or ineffectual political class can exhaust you through inaction. They are counting on the public to become too tired or overwhelmed to persist with seeking accountability. They're not even waiting for the problem to go away, only your reaction to it. Thank you to everyone who stays mad.
