even trump’s campaign staff (i assume he didn’t write this) knows that the reactionary, authoritarian agenda that’s project 2025 is going to be unpopular with the average voter.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded

you can also tell how comfortable people in media have become with basically seeing the radical right as normalized. the headline from the debate should’ve been to the effect of highlighting trump’s comments about jan 6, not recognizing the results of this election if he loses, and roe v wade 🤷🏻♀️

Four years ago, Psychological Science published a paper which used a ludicrously poor quality dataset. That paper was retracted, partly in order to avoid “prolonging the use” of the data but the dataset still thrives in the academic literature. Read our article & 🧵 for examples

this is so mealy-mouthed. say that you think the republican party now demonstrates an existential threat, which is true. no more bullshit about bipartisanship or it just being his “supporters”. the party supports trump, therefore it supports trump’s agenda — which is authoritarianism.

Trump winning is the end. The courts and institutions can’t save us. It is crucial he loses. I don’t understand. Do people not understand what mass deportations will look like. It will be sobbing mothers and children yanked apart from each other in front of you and your own kids.

I don't begrudge anyone their reactions, but the people who are panicking tonight because they are deeply invested in the outcome of the presidential race are not the people who still haven't made up their minds who to vote for—and I don't think we can presume that undecided voters think like us

it is frustrating though that the debate should’ve been an absolute blowout for biden. trump said nothing of substance for voters. he basically admitted he wouldn’t accept the election if he lost. the reactionary performance he had on display just isn’t popular. but dems love to self-immolate

I didn't watch the debate. I hear it didn't go well. So I just want to remind people that debates don't matter. They never matter. We think they do because we're bad at causal attribution.

AIPAC spent $15 million to defeat a progressive candidate in a primary in a blue state just because he was too vocal in support of a ceasefire. that’s desperation, not winning.
