The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen.

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

"When one side rejects pluralism, electoral legitimacy, or epistemic accountability, then 'reconciliation' and even 'civility' function less as neutral civic virtues than as asymmetric constraints, and they risk unilaterally disarming pro-democracy forces."

Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, who's running for Senate, says the Iran war "needs to be brought to a successful and immediate end." A messaging pivot: Hinson voted NO six times on House resolutions directing Trump to end the Iran war — including as recently as last week.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Every week the richest man in the world, who is both an unambiguous white supremacist and the largest Republican donor, posts heinous racist and antisemitic slop to the social media network he controls. Every week, reporters fail to treat this as a scandal worth their readers' time.
I'm deadly serious about this: every Republican should be shown this photo on TV and asked if they repudiate/reject/renounce Musk. And if not, why not.

The plan here is to block *millions* of legal mail-in ballots via a series of schemes and policies that were hidden from voters, hidden from the press, and hidden from the courts. We only know of them via a whistleblower. And all of this was done *explicitly* under a Trump order.
