White supremacist talking points.

No dog whistles.

Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was published OTD in 1962.

“[W]e have now acquired a fateful power to alter and destroy nature. But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.”

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

They’re treating the murder of Charlie Kirk like the 9/11 terror attacks, as an excuse to go to war.

But this time they’re going to war against the US.

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere.

You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it.

Leave.

The mainstream press absolutely loathed the idea of another four years of covering a wonky, “boring” Democrat. So they pulled hard for Trump and got their wish. They love our current situation.

I’m telling you. It’s fabricated.

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming.

The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent.

1/ Here's what's happening.

He went to Dixie, a technical trade school, after just one semester of college but go on.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

Seems an easier solution for Trump Christians than having to strangle the mentally ill homeless on the subway, no?

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

This is a very Nazi thing to say, actually.

Sigh.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Looking over the Epstein book messages, I'm struck by how comfortable everyone was with compiling something like this, contributing to it, and receiving it. Something most people with common sense would avoid like the plague.

But the super-rich and powerful know how insulated they are.

"It's a new day, it's a new administration, and everything's going to come out to the public"

Attorney General Pam Bondi, who oversees the Justice Department, to Sean Hannity, March 2025

This morning, Trump posted AI fan fiction of Chicago as a "war zone," adopting the chilling language of authoritarianism. He openly admits sending the National Guard is for ICE deportations, not to combat crime, effectively declaring war on an American city. This is not normal.

This is the department that should be renamed.

These guys go on all day about cultural marxism but are actually nationalizing private enterprises.

The craziest thing about this Cracker Barrel story is that Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for decades and publicly admitted to trafficking young women to him out of Maralago.

The right is so accustomed to being spun up into a tizzy of outrage on the regular that they’re often scrambling to find things to be upset about. Like logos, rainbows, books, the color blue, facts, penguins, rules for manliness, and hamburgers to name a few.

I wasn't overreacting.
