I think this is having a real effect. I know some reporters might think it's "political" to call for getting off the platform, but really they are making a radical, political choice by staying.

I’ve said this a million times, but I’m genuinely frightened about what Musk’s fascist propaganda network is doing to do to our politics. I really wish someone, anyone, would come up with a collective strategy to get journalists, organizers and elected officials off the platform.

His evening address last night was exactly that, in my opinion--while getting in some subtle reminders of the culture of violence that has bloomed in a post-Trump landscape.

Guy literally had secrets in his bathroom, selling them to foreign nationals. Calls people to steal votes. Sends a mob to keep himself in office. This country pissing all over its history to bend over backwards for this guy? This is the guy we bring down the whole experiment for?

I wonder if MTV, had it known to follow the trend and support the infrastructure, could've thrived on TikTok with snippets of music videos, or just supporting original content creators.

But nuance is just so damn inconvenient!!

Weird how pushing back with a modicum of force on your actual opponents puts them in a corner.

President Biden and other Democrats are increasingly focusing their attacks on an aggressive right-wing agenda called Project 2025 that is being pushed by allies of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump — prompting Trump and his team to lash out in recent days at supporters of the effort.

Part of why it was so cool that they would just get different artists to cover it in seasons two and three. And then dumping it altogether when the show pivoted from that dynamic.

A massive cheat, but Big Love using "God Only Knows" for not only being one of the best songs, but also being kinda perfect for that show.

The lesson from France is that sometimes you have to hold your nose to defeat fascism. You can't beat it with your own ideological purity.

The far right cope machine is already trying to manufacture a narrative about the massive loss the French fascists faced today. They are scared they can sense what’s coming to America and it’s not fascism. Popular fronts win and scare fascists. Keep them on the back foot they are weak and scared.

easy to chalk the stuff in france up to some vague platitude about ~voting~ but it feels to me like more proof that you have to give people something to vote FOR, and that socialism remains better equipped to beat fascism than liberalism does! just one gal’s opinion

I've never been high, but I have seen Possession a couple times. I'm not sure such a combination is advisable.

The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

No better way to celebrate our county's independence by writing an op-ed that says *checks notes* why it's cool not to participate in the American experiment.

More of this, please. Stuff like this and Colin Cowherd going off about Trump are worth more than almost any number of 30 second ads the party can buy.

“Taraji P. Henson made Project 2025 the talk of the BET Awards. The host of this year's BET Awards warned viewers on multiple occasions about the far-right plan to dismantle and remake the government in Trump's image.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...

Taraji P. Henson made Project 2025 the talk of the BET Awardswww.msnbc.com The draconian plan supported by conservative groups to dismantle the government if Donald Trump is elected was the talk of the Black Entertainment Television Awards.

One of the more under-discussed elements of replacing Biden and why it's unlikely is that it's a sky-high risk/low reward proposition for any contender. You have to turbo charge an election, try not to look power hungry, AND, if you lose, you will never ever live it down.

There's a lot about post-streaming television that's exhausting, but nothing more so than having everything on rails.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

Not to rip off @quinnae.com's book, but: Change is made by movements of people fighting for or against something. It will probably not be accomplished by posting. It is in the interest of social media sites -- even this one! -- to make you think nothing can be changed, so you keep on posting.

One function of social media is to leave you permanently frozen in a state of "things can only get worse." This is not to say things can't -- and possibly will -- get worse. It is to say that nothing is inevitable, and we all have a role in creating the future, no matter how powerless we feel.

Doomerism is a hell of a drug!
