28.02.2026 13:27 β π 3480 π 457 π¬ 65 π 39A social media post from Donald J. Trump on Truth Social, posted 9 minutes ago. The text reads: "Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States:" followed by a link to justthenews.com. Below is a link preview showing the article headline "Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces possible war with U.S." accompanied by a photo from what appears to be an Iranian protest or rally, showing demonstrators holding anti-Trump signs and posters with Persian text.
I am going to need every single person who said that misinformation was a moral panic to feel enough shame and regret that they leave public intellectual life.

There is a frog in boiling water sort of dynamic when you avoid confronting the reality of caretaking for everyone involved.

25.02.2026 06:33 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0IMHO, it is important that Woke 2 be deemed "excessive" by historians, "sweeping too broadly" with "punishments too severe." It cannot be merely a course correction, it must be an overcorrection. Nothing less will serve as an adequate deterrent against the fascists and their collaborators.

Fascists donβt need us to agree with them. They just need us to believe they canβt be stopped.
Never forget that cynicism can quickly be contorted into complicity.
I love that the #5 trend right now and even higher earlier today is literal wildflowers
