Elon Musk's pet demagogue, the serial fabricator Gad Saad, has the intellectual depth of an inebriated frat boy.

Tucker Carlson is all-in for the push to deport Rep. Ilhan Omar.
"Is the Somalia First lawmaker some kind of criminal? Apparently, the answer may be yes," he wrote in his newsletter last week.
Today, he uncritically quoted Tom Homan saying that the Trump could denaturalize Omar. "No sitting member of the United States Congress has ever been deported. That could soon change," Carlson said.

Searchlight Institute staffer says the “donor class” actually supports taxing billionaires.
Luckily, that’s on the ballot right now as Prop 40 in California, so we can take a look.
Here are the largest individual donors spending on ads. They’re all obviously against the tax.

This is an attempt to carpet-bomb the social contract, and even half-measures in a similar direction are incredibly destructive. If you cannot afford your property taxes then you cannot afford your home and need to downsize.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

Remember when Ben led the NYT byline on Mamdani's hacked college application “scandal” sourced from a race-science Substacker? That was the real Rorschach test

What about Lula’s accounts? What happened there?
We have continued to dig into the root cause here and would like to offer an update.
Our engineering team discovered that the spike that triggered the incorrect enforcement was primarily in the account’s “reading” behavior. Specifically, our network security systems detected the use of a Claude tool reading profiles, posts, and hashtags, the rate of which sharply increased (~4x volume) in intense bursts on October 17.
These abrupt, high-volume, sequential requests in a short period resembled automated bot traffic rather than an ordinary human browsing our systems. This activity caused our automated protections to incorrectly take the No Kings Instagram account offline. An automated re-review of the removal action an hour later recognized that shouldn’t have happened and restored the account. It unfortunately took additional time for us to straighten out the situation with admin access to the IG account.
We want to reiterate our sincere apology for the error.

Jan, your boss Bari Weiss’s wife, Nellie Bowles, is in the Epstein files coordinating a meeting with Jeffrey Epstein well after his conviction. Do you disavow Jeffrey Epstein? Because your silence right now is deafening.

So @Meta employees now admit the tech giant restricted the reach of pro Lula accounts and favoured pro-Bolsonaro ones. US tech giants are interfering in Brazil’s elections

Jan Crawford has now deleted her tweet - a reminder that in 2024 she was internally defending the CBS Morning interview where Tony Dokoupil called Ta-Nehisi Coates’ a book that would be in “the backpack of an extremist” for comparing the West Bank to Jim Crow

scratch the surface of every anti AES / anti dsa / anti left critic making claims abt “electability weaknesses” or any number of manufactured controversies and you will find an israel supporter desperately trying to attack any and all critics of israel.

"ban muslims from office" "deport el sayed"
this is the message that michigan democrats like @HillaryScholten and @NoahArbit are endorsing when they refuse to stand by their party's senate nominee

You spent almost three times as much as your left wing opponent in a statewide primary and still lost by 20 points.
Sounds to me like you’re the one out of touch with your party rather than the other way around.
As Democrats, we constantly criticize the far-right for their incendiary and discriminatory politics, but we need to hold ourselves to the same standard. Hasan Piker’s rhetoric is polarizing and dangerous, and embracing him as a party is a mistake. I am disappointed that Minnesota DFLers are hosting an event with him here.

Tommy, who worked as Josh Hawley’s ops director, is the son of Bobby Jindal’s longtime COS, Tim Teepell, who is listed as the principal for Breakthrough LLC. This month, Jindal’s dark money group paid $250,000 to Breakthrough LLC, for influencer marketing opposing Abdul El-Sayed.

Angie Craig literally invited ICE into our cities she signaled that it’s ok to have gestapo/slave catchers and they killed Pretti and Good. So she can fuck right off and I hope her political career ends.

A good friend of mine, @iElijahManley (ran for Congress against carpet bagger Wasserman Schultz) was just arrested and given a $40,000 bond for a social media post he made back in August.
Two women who are falsely claiming to be victims of the post (which had nothing to do with either of them) are major fundraisers for the Broward SA office.
These womens' social media posts are almost exclusively pro-Israel propaganda.
Elijah passionately spoke up against Israel throughout his campaign.

The 2001 anthrax attack was a false flag used to frighten Americans into supporting open-ended slaughter of Muslims. The FBI eventually pinned it on someone who they drove to suicide before he could defend himself, a case that hasn’t stood up to scrutiny. propublica.org/article/new-e…

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

This is a pattern, not a mistake.

This is such a shameless way to handle an actual threat to your staff. Really unhinged
UPDATE: I’m glad the DSA listened and responded to my call to condemn these threats and directly refute responsibility. We need to see this more quickly, clearly, and often from the DSA. Extremism cannot be encouraged, tolerated, or even ignored, especially when public servants and their staff are targeted.
