Strong evidence that US democracy has been replaced with a dictatorship.

Joni Mitchell made the joke first

wait, Obama said what?

The stages of online samples in my research career:
1. too difficult/expensive/unrepresentative
2. too expensive but representative
3. pretty affordable but less representative
4. cheap and full of bots with garbage responses
5. wide price range and maybe full of non-people pretending to be people

Had always been at war with Eastasia, etc.

what is this?

Ditto

It's not just that. It is active media whore complicity.

He is non compos mentis

That's not an ante, that's a rake that goes straight to the house.

That's why I never liked GNR

We dont really have a choice. Just read the NYT and learn how to decode as if we were living in Soviet era Czechoslovakia

From punishing foreign students for pro-Palestinian demonstrations to physically assaulting peaceful anti-ICE protests to frivolous lawsuits bullying media outlets and clamping down on late night talk show hosts, the MAGA regime is undertaking censorship campaign not seen since the Red Scare.

As the US political class discusses if/how/when Trump should strike Iran, just a reminder that no one has yet offered a remotely plausible legal justification for it. It’s just based on a presumption that the US has a special privilege to do violence wherever, whenever.

Excellent analysis of the foolishness of Trump (illegally) starting a war with Iran.

"Denying women the vote, making it harder for them to vote, all suits the agenda of a movement interested in White Christian domination of the public sphere and total male control of the private sphere."

Illuminating @aselrod.bsky.social linking SAVE Act to broader MAGA male supremacy ethos:

He's a flop without the self-awareness that would lead to flop sweat

Excellent comprehensive thread on Trump and Epstein. It is hard to remember all those facts but they are quite damning viewed all together.

The Squad is a straw man

And cost average Americans $1000 in trade tax.

Britain arrests a prince and South Korea jails an insurrectionist president but the U.S. Just allows criminals to rampage.

And is President Trump here in the room right now?

1) that's not what a push poll is

2) the message testing can legitimately include the opposition view or not but should be consistent

It will be painless for Trump and the king's view is the only one that counts in neo-monarchical America.

Yeah, "at this moment" is right. Not recommending any more anti gay marriage wedge issue this cycle, Bloody Bill?

I remember when Bloody Bill's protégé W ran on an actively anti-gay message. You kids dont know who Bloody Bill really is. Also, he is responsible for the Iraq War and the up to a million human beings he got killed there in the wrong country based on a HOAX.
