There are so many good points from Don here, including that Project 2025 shows how authoritarians adapt and why it's smart to focus on the personnel part of Project 2025 as much as the policies, which are basically just typical GOP policies rounded up to the highest possible number.

This is the editorial view of the guy who controls which posts get shown on Vichy Twitter and which get buried. Insane that journalists continue to use it as a source of information and contribute to its legitimacy

100%. "When I'm golfing it's work because I'm networking." "When I am taking a shower it's work because I'm brainstorming about the future." "When I take a dump for half an hour shitposting on Twitter it's work because I'm increasing our social media engagement." "Unlike my lazy workers..."

Stuff like this makes me bananas “For Antinya Walker, 19, who says she will be voting in her first presidential election this fall…said she believed Biden was against women’s rights. She blamed him for tightened abortion restrictions across the country”

Even after getting crushed in a statewide referendum on the issue, Kansas Republicans have absolutely no fear about defying the people's will and trying to force abortion bans through lawsuits and unconstitutional legislation.

The only surprise about this response is that there was a conspiracy theory he didn't dive head first into promoting.

I saw this post on the Sieve Cache and wanted to see if I could quickly prototype it in Dart. I did. Compared to the LRU cache in Quiver I was able to get 20-50% speedup with a naive sampling method. May write it up and play with more. #DartLang #programming tive-and-suse'>calable'>usenix.org/publications/logino…

Yesterday I discovered that Google created a Guava-like (their Java utility library) library for Dart named Quiver. It provides cache data structures, more collection types and operations, etc. #DartLang #Java #Google #Programming https://pub.dev/'>packagespub'>/quiver'>pub.dev/packages/quiver

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

With regard to former Sec. of Defense Mark Esper’s chilling account that then-President Trump wanted troops confronting protestors in Lafayette Park to “shoot them in the legs”, I’d love to hear someone ask the follow up question whether Trump understood that people would fall & get hit in torso.

the “some folks just need killing” thing out of north carolina reminds me of a third thing these annoying people are right about: as long as the republican bloodlust grows and their power is unbroken, every election probably will be the most important one of your life

What is Heritage rebelling against?

- Civil rights
- Regulation of financial markets, environment, consumer goods, antitrust
- Marriage equality
- Fair immigration
- Anything that they see as discriminatory against white people and their brand of Christianity

if the media could go ahead and treat this claim the way they treat Biden saying "I'm fine" - aka, as a lie that requires days on end of front page stories to debunk - that would be great we'll be over here waiting

This is a classic Trump trope, when something might drag him down "I never met the guy" in the face of photos of them bro hugging after a two hour meeting.

Highly recommend Season 2 of this excellent podcast documentary about the far right in Idaho. Episode 2 in particular clarified for me the challenges of talking about people who are "the baddies" of American democracy but who absolutely do not see themselves that way. www.npr.org/podcasts/510...

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

Giving up hope is also complying with authoritarians in advance. It’s saying that fascism is inevitable, that there is no other way to be. I know it’s hard to keep hope alive, but I hope you find a way. ❤️
