Furious Minds The story of the radical conservative intellectual movement shaping Donald Trump’s agenda—and how it threatens American freedoms, values, and democracy

It's pub day for FURIOUS MINDS: THE MAKING OF THE MAGA NEW RIGHT!

The audio is out too, read by yours truly.

Thank you to everyone at @princetonupress.bsky.social. It was a joy to work with PUP!

Great turnout today in Scottsdale AZ!

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

This is the Trump thug who wants to deny due process rights to everyone else. Turns out he was being investigated for taking $50k cash in an illegal scheme, but Trump’s DOJ dropped it.

This double standard and corruption is infecting our justice system.

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but we refuse to be silent. We must use our economic power to pressure ABC/Disney.

Encourage everyone you know to cancel their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscriptions, and post their cancellations to social media using the hashtag #BoycottDisneyABC. 🧵

I'm an old school industrial head and always a sucker for Karplus type delays on drums. Hell yeah

Set up looks rad as well

🧨 completely agree. Don't need the annoying AI assistant pop up in all my applications

Thank you! I was unaware that the enrollment was open in the program for access to the site through a VPN for regular subscribers. Enrolled!

Picked this up from Room40 yesterday - wasn't expecting swells of Berlin school arpeggiation and improvised modular melodies. Really visual and open-world feelings.

Picked this up because of your post and totally absorbed in this album for many hours today. Thank you for making this and thank you for posting about it!!!

@sonemic.com any updates about since access while on a VPN?

I've been contributing to the site for going on 3 decades but can never access it these days...

TOZO Golden X1s out of the box

As a budget conscious audiophile, TOZO Golden X1s are the best LDAC Bluetooth earbuds I've heard. Impressive sound and surprisingly affordable. Once you get a good good seal, you will experience a warm and richly detailed soundstage. Solid noise canceling as well.

Sounds good for calls + ANC too.

If Microsoft keeps pushing a bunch of AI/Co-pilot features I frankly do not want? I'll find alternatives.

A thief is still a thief, no matter how resplendent their clothes or good their intentions. Stealing en-mass through automation does not mitigate the crime nor make noble their acts.
