That was a tough watch. 😵‍💫

Saying we’re going to have to learn to live with each other and debate in the marketplace of ideas while the president is purging comedians off the TV is why people are not reacting positively to Ezra Klein.

One thing that bothers me tonight in particular is how so much of this is happening because of grand and sweeping capitulation by the media, by companies, by Congress, by people in power. Even when they don’t have to — they simply comply, acquiesce, and appease.

We are witnessing a swift and sweeping consolidation of media (traditional and social) into the hands of a small number of billionaires who are actively aligned/aligning (both via free will and coercion) with Trump and his right wing political party. This is (I’ll say it) a fascist project.

what the fuck…?

I for one love to have my nation’s content moderated by like the same five guys with close links to the belligerent ruling faction

This makes me feel better because I felt briefly conflicted before I sent it to my sister 🫢

It is incredibly simple to acknowledge that violence in any form is awful and erodes society.

Violence begets violence.

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

How am I supposed to focus on anything else today 😭

The Republic social media person probably knows as much as we do. Wake me when Taylor Nation likes it.

I need ozempic but for my cat

I’m begging for a new head of merch at 13 Management atp

University of Minnesota says 2021 data leak may have compromised student info as far back as 1989 The University of Minnesota confirmed on Thursday that a 2021 breach of a university database may have compromised personal information of students and staff dating back to 1989.

Okay, so here's a story. A few years ago the U of Minnesota suffered a huge data breach from hackers who seemed to want to use the data to attack affirmative action somehow.

I was one of the first people to know, because the hackers also used the data to harass me.

every day the news is just L after L if you care about anything good in the world

Maybe ICE will finally be able to afford badges and uniforms.

"Immigration enforcement" is about to get $175 billion to spend over the next 4.25 years.

For some perspective: Last year's budget for the entire Russian MILITARY was $146 billion.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The GOP's greatest superpower is the sheer cartoon evil of their policies. "They are taking healthcare from the poor so they can give tax breaks to millionaires" makes you sound like a hysterical SJW but it is straightforwardly what they are doing.

Well yes, because no one is stopping him, so in effect he *is* a dictator

My theory is that it’s primarily based on the likes/follows of people you follow because once I followed a lot of people in a fandom I’m in with a lot of gay men, I started getting a ton of gay thirst traps lol.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

Sarah Jessica Parker speaks out on the double standards faced by male and female characters on television:

“A male lead on a show can be a murderer, and people love him. If a woman has an affair, behaves poorly, or spends money foolishly […] there’s a kind of punitive response to it.”

For a long time I honestly thought his Based Mike Lee account was a parody

oh no, he looks like he’s on gear now.
