Data centers are targeted not because of the actual things activists complain about, but because it’s a way for people who are conspiratorial or hate capitalism to express themselves. And that’s a lot of people.

Every free speech activist needs to drop everything else and focus on this administration. They've made the "which side is worse?" question so easy to answer.

Remember when JD Vance preened at the Munich Security Conference about the Trump administration’s passion for free speech:

“So I come here today not just with an observation, but with an offer. And just as the Biden
administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and I hope that we can work together on that.
In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town. And under Donald Trump’s leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer them in the public square.”

Perhaps the most important book I’ll publish this year is @RichardHanania’s book on populism, KAKISTOCRACY. It explains exactly why Marc, a certifiable genius, tweets things two minutes of Googling would disprove.

@RichardHanania Can you please post your Unherd piece on the scientists dying conspiracy theory to your paid subscribers?

This is a very strange NYT op-ed. It starts out by lamenting that many entry-level cars are $25-30K today. Then it gets nostalgic about cars in the 1960s costing 1/3 of median family income

1/3 of median family income today (2024) is over $35,000!

Salon published an article about how Broadside books doesn’t publish substantive political books anymore, forgetting to mention our most recent book is @wynton_hall’s NYTimes bestseller on AI, Code Red.

RIP Bob Mueller.

His whole life, he was considered a Republican. Suddenly though, the definition of Republican became “worships Trump and looks past his alleged and actual crimes.”

May he always remind us of a more virtuous time.
