I know you’re not supposed to care about tweets but yet again, look at the ratio on this. Literally thousands of replies pushing Great Replacement conspiracy thinking, some rationalizing violence. Prominent racists like Sailer amplifying and people thanking Elon for spreading it

So weird Trump supporters aren’t eager to get the trial started so his name can be definitively cleared before the election.

The obvious reason why it's important to try Trump before the election is that it's important that he face a trial for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, and if he wins, that won't happen.

Imagine the outrage if he’d spent such a sum feeding and housing them.

Right-wingers are just saying with their whole chest now that immigrants are 'the destruction of our civilization.' No one seems to remember but 5-10 years ago this stuff was the province of neo-Nazis. No pretense of caring about jobs or anything like that, it's just the 14 words

We’re in this weird interregnum where Twitter is much worse due to both emigration & poor management, but the major alternatives don’t have quite enough of a base to be an adequate replacement, so you end up spreading time across 3 platforms, none as good as 2015 Twitter.

God this is so good

Underrated: journalists skew college educated, cosmopolitan, and white collar. All of which correlates to thinness and good health relative to the gen pop. And this, shall we call it “class-based health privilege,” shaped the tenor of the reaction to the new weight loss drugs.

this is what literally everyone who has ever worked with or for him says about him behind his back

I actually can’t get over this quote from Hamas, a profoundly misogynist fundamentalist organization that no one disputes has *murdered* women, including a grandmother whose family learned of her death after Hamas used her phone to upload a photo of her body to her Facebook.

If that were true, then this suit really would have a constitutionally suspect chilling effect on speech. Fortunately, it’s off base. It’s defamatory for TRUMP to call her a liar because he knows the facts. Others can float bad opinions about whether they find her credible.
