And of course because Elon is such a small, broken man neither of those links are even allowed to expand here... So done with this dude.

Sometimes you have to give up on something you loved. This used to be the good place. Now it's certainly the bad place. You can find me here instead:

In the weeks leading up to the most consequential election of my lifetime, there’s been a great deal of focus on Black men. But the group we should have been focusing on is white women — the nation’s largest electorate. White women are the only American women where the majority did not vote for Hillary Clinton. Had white women voted like the rest of women, women would still have their constitutional right to abortion and affirmative action would still be legal. Two of Trump’s own former generals have warned that he’s a fascist. Black women were credited with saving democracy in 2020, will white women step up and do the same in 2024? My latest essay revisits the fraught history of white women’s solidarity.

I was assuming the polymarket whale was a pump and dump scheme but it turns out it is just the dumbest person in France who put virtually all his money into betting on Trump

Dude isn't even like a billionaire or anything. He'll just go broke if Trump loses

What Ta-Nehisi Coates has done is permanently raise the bar for successful mainstream political writers: everyone with a job at a prestigious publication, bestselling books, awards, access. You can do what he's doing. There's no excuse.

My favorite bit in the indictment is when Adams's staffer tells the Turkish Air rep they need to pay *something* for a round-trip business class ticket to Istanbul so there's a record of payment. He proposes to charge $50, and she says that's not enough, "let it be somewhat real." They settle on about $1,000.

(📣) The President of Brazil has issued a statement about Twitter:

“The world isn’t obliged to put up with Elon Musk’s far-right free-for-all just because he is rich.”

RETWEET if you agree. https://t.co/0LjrIoTBvi

A decade ago at least, when I still wrote for +972 Magazine, we said that one day police would use West Bank occupation tactics on Jewish Israelis. Happening now.

"... that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity. Security. Freedom. And self-determination."

This is a step. Meeting with Uncommitted in Michigan was a step. ..."

It’s a good indicator that conservatives fully realize that cops don’t uphold the law; they uphold the impunity of white supremacy.

I was in the room at #nabj when Donald Trump told 1000s of Black journalists that VP Kamala Harris had just recently “turned” Black. So, I wrote about the historical amnesia at play: “It seems that when a mixed-race Black American appears to be ascending to the pinnacles of American power, some white Americans suddenly forget the race rules that white society created.” https://t.co/RSqVZ6V4yl
