You may have noticed I’ve been posting more political content lately. There’s a reason for that.
I’ve been watching too many people I care about fall down MAGA-fueled rabbit holes, believing things that go completely against logic and their own interests.
Why does @realDonaldTrump talk about the word “Groceries” like he just heard about it for the first time?
Trump officials accidentally added @TheAtlantic’s @JeffreyGoldberg to a group chat revealing classified war plans — and Trump claims he had no idea. @PeteHegseth, @JDVance, and others were in the chat. @PeteButtigieg calls this “the highest level of fuckup imaginable.”
Sidney Lumet’s work remains as relevant as ever, and Network feels eerily prescient. If you’re not mad as hell yet, you’re not paying attention.
On top of that, Meta recently cut professional fact-checkers, raising concerns about older users becoming even more susceptible to radicalization. Your news feeds and algorithms are feeding you bullshit most of the time.
Jasmine Mooney followed every rule. That didn’t stop ICE from shackling her, transferring her across state lines, and detaining her for 11 days—without charges, without a lawyer, and without explanation. (🧵1/8)
