I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.

all those people who called me "irresponsible" for advocating air strikes against specific data centers better be eating crow.
I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.
We’ve been talking about this for years.

And every single time people dismiss everything university related as annoying eggheads instead of the literal engine of society it has been since the Middle Ages, those people are acting like the (inaccurate) cliche of grunting cavemen. Cavemen were so much smarter.
Every business in this country is subsidized by university research and training. Every American student has their costs reduced by every foreign student. Every foreign student trained here spreads US soft power abroad.
They are dismantling all of modernity, and not in a good way.

Seeing how weird the consolidation of aesthetics is under our own fascist regime is helping to conceptualize how it might have felt to see all of mussolini’s wild shit in the 20th century. I may prefer the earlier aesthetics to these new ones, but I think that’s because they were normalized postwar.
