What scares me: What constraints can there be if you can run a campaign like that and win? If you can do Jan 6 and win? Not to mention the Supreme Court immunity decision. Not much about our society and freedoms we’ve become accustomed to we can take for granted going forward.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, is donating $45 million a month to the Trump campaign. If democracy is to survive in the US, we need to overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections. We need a government that represents all, not just billionaires.

I'm a KHiver now because it's somehow both the soberly correct stance and the funny irony-poisoned stance.

John Oliver on Project 2025 and a second Trump term. I was going to clip this segment out into shorter sections but decided to keep it together because it's too important and, frankly, it should terrify you.

at some point people will realize that having an electoral movement which routinely threatens to kill its opponents is a major problem.
Per a senior GOP source, “Ferguson told the conference that he‘s had to have a sheriff stationed at his daughter’s school over death threats from the far right. Also one at his house.”

He’s neither pro free speech nor anti antisemitism but the fact he had to put out a statement like this speaks volumes about where he has ended up on his journey into the online right:

“So you purchased 4 new Blu rays in the July Barnes and Noble Criterion sale, correct?” “Yes that’s accurate.” “But isn’t it true that you haven’t even opened any of the Blu Rays you purchased in the November sale?”

Why can't the Twitter alternatives just make Twitter? The idea behind Twitter isn't broken, just the leadership.

Wealth grows exponentially unless it's checked.
Elon Musk Wealth 2012: $2 billion 2023: $234.3 billion Mark Zuckerberg Wealth 2009: $2 billion 2023: $105 billion Federal Minimum Wage 2009: $7.25 2023: $7.25 The cage match we should pay attention to is the one the billionaire class is waging against the working class.
