Had a blast tearing into JD Vance with @jaredlholt.bsky.social and @michaelehayden.bsky.social!

Periodic reminder that we'd super appreciate it if you took a minute to leave the show a review on whatever podcast player you listen on!

Doing this episode talked me into thinking that JD Vance is a dead man walking, politically speaking.

Anything can happen but maybe not to him.

It’s not clear what will happen to MAGA when Trump is out of the picture someday. Who will lead its next phase? Will it be JD Vance?

@amandamarcotte.bsky.social joined us to explain why she thinks the answer to that is “hell no”

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Ooooh, this should be good. I fully agree that Jaydee is incapable of taking over the ashes.

Posting Through It is a consistently great podcast that everyone interested in whatever TF the far right is doing should listen to.

On Monday's episode of Posting Through It, we'll speak with @amandamarcotte.bsky.social about JD Vance and why we don't think he's the guy to inherit whatever's left of MAGA after Trump. Call it a "hillbilly eulogy."

Opinion | Joe Rogan’s down on Trump — but he’s forever anti-vax MAHA Anthony L. Fisher: The influential podcaster continues to spread RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine gospel — and a new poll shows more Americans are growing comfortable with having measles back.

When the next measles outbreak makes it to your hometown, call it “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

right -- Critical acclaim is not equal to financial success when it comes to art. I'm sure his family is worth a few million and isn't struggling too much, but that's not really "elite" territory in NYC

"just yet" -- Their son is the mayor of New York City. Why is the idea here that eventually Mamdani is going to get dealt out from a trust fund? Is there any reason to even believe his family has that kind of money, or that they think he needs/wants it?

Teaching at a university and producing critically acclaimed films are certainly not bad ways to make a living, but not exactly what I'd call "elite." Also wild show of hand here that the NYT desk assumes that people who have had success default to putting their kids on payroll?

Donald Trump post "The U.S.A. is the “HOTTEST” Country in the World right now. Just a short time ago, under Sleepy Joe Biden, IT WAS DEAD, LAUGHED AT ALL OVER THE WORLD!!! But not anymore - Nobody’s laughing!!! President DJT"

The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden's Surveillance Machine Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.

Using facial recognition tech, the Knicks surveilled a trans woman, tracking her every move out of fear she'd show up on MSG's tv broadcast

And they can do it to any "enemy" of Jim Dolan, who's built his own deep state. From @noahshachtman.bsky.social & me @wired.com www.wired.com/story/madiso...

Had fun subbing in on guitar for these dudes. Check out their tunes. They’ve got a new record coming out this summer and as someone who learned about half of it for this show: it’s very good

Workshop promo for a session investigating the spread of harmful online narratives about NGOs, featuring facilitators from Open Measures and MSF. It takes place online on May 7th at 8.00 ET/14.00 CAT

Next month, Open Measures CEO @heyhank.bsky.social will co-lead a @rightscon.org workshop with our friends @msf.ca. We'll investigate how online spaces shape the public perception of NGOs and the way narratives form across platforms, who drives them, and what organizations can do to stay protected.

Former Breitbart Editor Katie McHugh On Stephen Miller And White Supremacy Former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh tells NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro that White House senior adviser Stephen Miller assisted in her radicalization as a white supremacist.

Contrast that with someone like Katie McHugh, who truly left the movement and then used the information she had from her time in it to educate the world about Stephen Miller's affinity for white nationalist -- leaking emails, speaking on-record in interviews, etc

Lauren Southern was Queen Bee of the far-right at her peak and played a huge part in popularizing "white genocide" beliefs among conservative audiences. Someone like her could really put a dent in the movement. But she won't. Instead she's selling books. Absolutely zero respect for that.

LBC tweet promoting an interview with Lauren Southern

Shame on news outlets for letting Lauren Southern do her... third?... publicity tour denouncing the far-right while making no clear efforts to counteract the movement. She continues to seek profit off her association with it while shielding others in it from accountability. She's grifting. That's it

woman hired to say "yes sir" to Elon Musk and post stuff like "What's everyone's favorite coffee?? ☕ I love conversation!!🥰🥰" absolutely petrified at the thought of paying more in taxes
