@Ryan_Ken_Acts My best friend said: “I can’t believe we used to just like raw dog it on the subway maskless. I still feel bad about that Uber driver who drove me to a minute clinic when I had the flu at the end of 2019. That poor man.”

Musk's claim that just 10% of US aid reaches recipients is absurd. @cgdev lays out the facts: - US gov costs are just 10% - Rest reaches recipients mostly thru US corps/nonprofits + multilateral agencies - ~10% goes thru foreign organizations cgdev.org/blog/no-90-per…

Steve Bannon confirming Trump’s dictatorship plan …”you’re witnessing right now a political realignment like 1932” “I believe that we will destroy the Democratic party as a national institution” “We will govern for 100 years” x.com/RonFilipkowski…

Steve Bannon went on a wild rant outside the courthouse today, saying MAGA is going to destroy the Democratic Party, win 100 House seats, get 50% of the black male votes, 55% of Hispanic votes, and then rule for 100 years.

This is one of the most insane pieces of data I've ever seen. Why on Earth would you not want a person whose whole job it is to know about a thing weighing in on that thing?
Steven Rattner@SteveRattner

Nearly half of Americans – and a majority of Republicans – don’t think scientists should play a role in scientific policy issues. If we don’t want anti-vaxxers in charge of HHS, we’ll need to start convincing the American people on the value of science. cc:@axios

Someone posted: “There is nothing the remotest bit natural about capitalism. The bees are not stockpiling honey to sell at a profit. The trees are not charging the bees to build their hive. The soil is not leasing itself to the flowers. (Cont.)

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing. The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62. Time to rebuild the left. We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small. 1/ Some early thoughts:

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰 Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer 🧵

Many people emailed me to ask how to manage potential financial uncertainties in 2025. I wrote up a brief two page summary; this is not financial advice, but it offers a summary of the risks and how, potentially, to respond. docs.google.com/document/d/1iw…

LETS GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT. The American People voted to absolutely make sure LOADS of people would die at Trumps hands. - Their daughters, their wives, children & their fellow citizens will die from school shootings, pregnancy & easily cured diseases. -It’s free hunting season for blacks with immunity for white cops. - Muslims & Latinos will DEFINITELY die in mass deportation roundups/camps. - Gaza will be bulldozed if not ethnically cleansed. - Iranians who want democracy will die. - Ukrainians are dying in droves already. If you think your family is immune from Trumps dementia & chaos that is coming? Did you forget about Covid?

In 2020 I was one of 7 dems that won a district that Trump won, so I held a series of listening sessions with people who voted for Trump and voted for me to understand their actions. I reread the transcripts yesterday and much of it felt like it could have been said today. THREAD

The challenge, after a loss, is to learn something *new.* Most people aren't doing that right now. They're taking in information and trying to fit that within their prevailing world view. The NEW thing I'm learning is: People do not and will not vote for harm mitigation...

If Dems and other officials do not hold the perperators of past admin crimes accountable *and* tackle the structural issues that made the US vulnerable to mafia state rule, all the Biden admin will be is a brief interlude between aspiring autocracy and entrenched autocracy.
