Ansel Adams took very good photos of our national parks if you need a visually arresting element for your Facebook post

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

Dem weirdos dreaming up tournament-style solutions to Joe Biden being the nominee and Catturd-grade reactionary types crying about cheating in the French election have one crucial thing in common, which is that they transparently lack the emotional maturity and patience required to be sports fans.

So many journalists going to be spending their time in leftist brasseries interviewing voters and trying to figure out how they missed this movement

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

One of the most powerful quotes I've seen about how this happens to a country and how this pivotal historical moment in America feels.

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

sometimes awful people make good things. sometimes great people make terrible stuff. it’s okay to reevaluate when you learn something new about an artist but y’all gotta stop acting like you can tell who’s good or evil based on whether or not you like their work.

The olden days but minus the publisher contribution and plus an extremely crowded arena, plz tell ppl about the books you like I beg

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

I think it might be time to revisit this 2016 @vox.com classic from @volts.wtf to remind ourselves why this freakout is happening: The entire US political system is premised, at the atomic & subatomic level, upon 2 equally choiceworthy sides. It can't allow a clear choice, & so will *make* it even

I forget who posted it (maybe it was you, even, lol, and I paraphrase) but I can't get past the "Biden has one bad debate and no other missteps since, Trump the felon says something batshit crazy every day and the media is still on the bad debate guy"

this guy is obviously terrible but there's also a secondary point -- I'm sure he's bullshitting but if he's claiming that he's in knowing possession of counterfeit currency, shouldn't Treasury be paying him a visit?

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

Come on, y'all. For America. For Ted. Let's do this.

Ted Cruz gets bad news in Texas Senate racewww.newsweek.com A Manhattan Institute survey of 600 likely voters in Texas showed Cruz's lead over Democrat Colin Allred is just 3 points.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.
