I will not be tolerated. My life is international politics, travel, & @KelsaPellet. Still a moderate libertarian… I know. I voted against myself one time.

New on @KevinYeaux.com: The Republicans think they’ve won this round of redistricting. But by diluting their previously gerrymandered districts, they may have accidentally given more power to the very voters they were trying to disenfranchise. https://t.co/gkupqGlVmf

Decided to write something completely different. The era of broadcast linear TV is over, but it doesn't have to be. How my love for broadcasting shaped me, how it helps society, and what can be done in an era of information silos. https://t.co/igDlIAkg1c

New from me: we're seeing the Trump Doctrine - regime change without occupation or nation building. It shows the advantage an authoritarian has in foreign policy, and reinforces why it's critical that Congress reassert their constitutional authority. https://t.co/27xMgcTgKG

Also for the love of god even JD Vance is on Bluesky why are you all still here?

[Kevin Dupuy @KevinYeaux.com on BSky @KevinYeaux]

New from me: the 2000s are back, and this time the foreign policy is even worse. How libertarians and non-interventionists can think and talk about a world where Russia, China, and the U.S. are authoritarian powers malevolently carving up the world. https://t.co/v1CfQjItaI

LOL I definitely meant to post this to Bluesky. Hit the wrong option out of habit. Hi everyone. Seriously this place is a mess.

Meanwhile in Canada, Mark Carney’s minority government is one seat closer to a majority as a Conservative MP defects to the Liberals, and says other moderate Conservatives are considering it as well. Two more defections would give Carney a majority. https://t.co/HWDLM5Dt59

I come on here to check on you guys, and I want you to know I don’t understand how you keep using this app. Not for ideological reasons, just as a platform it’s really gone downhill. It’s really not that scary at the other place.

[Kevin Dupuy @KevinYeaux.com on BSky @KevinYeaux]

New from me: it’s been hard to write anything about what’s going on in America this last week, but we’ve moved from “threat to free speech” to “a state that actively restricts political speech” very quickly.

You’ll never believe this, but both the DNC and Donald Trump stumbled upon a good idea this week: hosting midterm party conventions to launch their campaigns. New from me: why this is actually a good way to fix the midterms. https://t.co/99tJ0Ytzgw

New from me: Trump supporters have no problem shoving their political opinions in your face. We can do the same, but smarter, and break the echo chamber much of the country lives in. https://t.co/yVjvsRvDPO

[Kevin Dupuy @KevinYeaux.com on BSky @KevinYeaux]

New from me: the real risk for the Trumpism worldview isn’t about Trump being in the Epstein files - it’s that they may reveal nothing. Because the core conceit of populism is that the elite must be in a conspiracy which Trump was brought into uncover https://t.co/ZcLw88Y4r2

Jumping on here to let you know that yes, even in Mississippi we object to authoritarianism.

[Kevin Dupuy @KevinYeaux.com on BSky @KevinYeaux]

There’s lot of good and correct arguments against the lawlessness of ICE and the lack of due process in Trump’s “deportation” program. But bigger picture, we should be defending the right to migrate between countries as an inalienable human right. https://t.co/noRsSsrSwh

[Kevin Dupuy @KevinYeaux.com on BSky @KevinYeaux]

New article: Trump wants to bring America back to being a middle-income low-skilled manufacturing empire. That’s not new - it’s been a popular political sentiment forever. But it would be a disaster for every American and destroy our standard of living. https://t.co/fTMXugB0dT

@CorieWhalen Congratulations!!

[Kevin Dupuy @KevinYeaux.com on BSky @KevinYeaux]

New article: whether you directly feel it yet or not, America is a darker, and less free place than it was ten weeks ago. The abductions of student visa holders by ICE for legal speech and protests is as anti-American as I’ve seen in recent decades. https://t.co/kZCdq2fpEA

[Kevin Dupuy @KevinYeaux.com on BSky @KevinYeaux]

New article this evening: libertarians should defend private companies’ ability to have DEI programs, not only because it’s their right, but also because it’s a positive, voluntary contribution to society. And we all have to get better at defending it. https://t.co/ToALNRr9ri

Look around you today. Today is the freest, most democratic, most cohesive the country is likely to be for a generation. How far we slide depends on how Americans react. My new article on the last day of “normalcy” in America for a while. https://t.co/FM20j9BVPz

Wrote this yesterday and now there’s a new angle about how both Biden and Trump got individually rolled by China and ByteDance here, but the original sin was the terrible, nativist policy that banned TikTok in the first place and that’s on both parties.

[Kevin Dupuy @KevinYeaux.com on BSky @KevinYeaux]

TikTok’s ban won’t make America freer. But it’s already driven some cynical online activists to more explicitly Chinese sites. Acting like autocracies and banning sites and speech will lead to allies (and Americans) losing faith in democracy. New article:
