I’d already dialed back my activity here, but it feels straight up unethical to keep providing free content for a guy who’s using his platform to broadcast white nationalist conspiracy theories. I’ll post links to outside writing here, but otherwise be on Threads & Bluesky.

Then 40 of the 435—the ones called the “Freedom Caucus”—went to the chief priests & asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver the budget over to you?” So they counted out for them 30 pieces of TrumpCoin. Hence, the Caucus watched for an opportunity to hand it over.

The chaos of Trump’s first month looks disturbingly coherent if you suppose he’s deliberately set on a collision course with the courts—and restructuring the federal bureaucracy to enable him to ignore them. open.substack.com/pub/julian…

This drives me nuts. I use a VPN routinely, but especially in sponsored ads on YouTube I see some pretty absurd claims made about what a VPN can actually do to protect you.

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.
