You could spend a difficult and consternating lifetime trying to determine whether the bigger con man is Trump or Musk, and whose actions have cost more lives

It is difficult to imagine two men the jailing of whom would have a more beneficial effect on the welfare of the species

Protect me from whom?

They want us to stop using the words fascism and Nazism and racism because there is a reason those words exist and they are the reason

Today I wrote about our white supremacist political movement's odd insistence that "we don't have to apologize for being white anymore."

Conservatives have been apologizing, apparently. Did you know? I had no idea. So I asked, and here's what I found.

Departments run by bumbling apparatchiks, brazen corruption, public stakes in private firms, ceremonies to present the leader fake awards, servile state media, prosecutors installed to target political foes. If we're going soviet, might as well have the tiny shitty cars too.

Read my NEW COLUMN, “Democracy Has Fallen, Past Tense,” about how we must reevaluate where we are in the country’s demise. We’re in the ‘post-,’ not the ‘pre-‘ or the ‘during.’ https://t.co/cWRS9B9oL0

I swear to God, how do people not get this yet?

The richest men on Earth got that way by screwing over as many people as possible—and in order to keep doing that, they need our leaders to be the *stupidest* men possible.

How is that not obvious yet? Trump? Some fucking boxer?

I wish conservatives got this straight:

Without blue states, America would look like a failing country; patchy internet, collapsing schools, no tech, no medicine, no future.

Red states cash the federal checks. Blue states write them.

You don’t fund the nation. You bleed it dry.

The math is simple: the places screaming the loudest bring the least to the table.

Liberalism deserves better.

[Darin Givens @atlurbanist]

Good point.

800M + 375M + 520M + 435M + 400M + 500M + 270M + 210M =
$3.51 billion

For less than the $4.1 billion loan the federal government just gave GA to expand Highway 400, we could build all this.

People realize these are vaccines for CANCER, right?

Like, cancer was going to become a treatable disease because of this funding. Now your cancer will be a death sentence, because of RFK and Trump.

[Darin Givens @atlurbanist]

Since I compulsively look at ATL through an urbanism lens, I can't help point out...

These incidents of tragic violence happened beside a streetcar stop that's been on this block for over 10 years. Why are there *still* not enough 'eyes on the street' here to dissuade crime?

With respect to Will, and I share in his annoyance, I don't know why liberals do this. We keep pointing out the hypocrisy like we're taking these people seriously. They lie to themselves as much as they lie to everyone. We don't need to parse the lies in order to oppose them.

[EBK Leftist @Trap_Jesus]

Reconstruction never brought the confederates to heel for…well committing treason against the nation. So…we just let them move across the nation and it just festered.

[Akilah Hughes @AkilahObviously]

It’s funny that today is just day 900 of Elon is a Nazi and Trump is a pedophile.
