Wolfers: For nine out of the last 10 presidencies, if you’d said, “How much should we blame the president for what’s going on with the economy right now?” I would have said that the president is just one factor among many. That’s what I would have said nine out of 10 times. This is the 10th time.

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".
The Turner Diaries - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.orgSunder Katwala (sundersays)X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

Lots of people sticking up for the Dems instead of engaging with @moiradonegan.bsky.social 's main point: that the reluctance to speak up about the Tates reveals a pattern of "prizing men over women, of coveting men’s votes and men’s support as somehow more legitimate, more valuable, than women’s".

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

Let’s pause here. “Activist” has been a charge leveled at any field that decenters majority interests including gender studies, Asian studies, queer studies, and disability studies, and this isn’t a problem unique to the right.
Kyla Wazana TompkinsLike a conversation that doesn’t use X (formerly twitter) as evidence but cites the actual work of minoritarian and other kinds of criticism as they really exist. Imagine calling Black studies and African American literary studies “an activist sub field.” (Gutkin) 3/5

Astonishing. RFK Jr. adds 8 members to a 6 member FDA advisory panel. 6 of them were sellers of peptides, and the 7th a compounding pharmacist. In an 8-6 vote with all 8 votes coming from these new panel members, the panel approved 4 peptides against the objections of FDA scientists.
