If people don’t trust Trump on the economy or Immigration, they don’t trust him on anything.

The Right Wants You Stupid The eternal question to preserve the “pleasing illusions” that hold society and its authorities together.

Good @mattpolprof.bsky.social look at anti-intellectualism of the right up through MAGA:

"We see this today in how DeSantis, Trump, and the MAGA intelligentsia obstruct ordinary people from thinking about the colonialism and slavery of the American founding."

This isn't just one man's vanity: it's the natural terminus of MAGA theology.

A religion that worships power, wealth & America has little time for a "prince of peace" who submits to death on a cross.

Much easier to swap in an AI fantasy of Trump: rich, muscle-bound, with warplanes roaring overhead

And a very happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes to all who observe

I’m glad that he’s showing what (white) American Christianity is really about. The thirst for domination and power to the point of blasphemy. They’ve been calling him the chosen one, an avatar of God, because he allows them to hate marginalized people. He can do this because they won’t abandon him.

You love to see it

This was always going to happen because Trump saw his victory (that had a very small margin) as the American people approving of his beliefs and rule, not that people believed that he’d give them a better economy.

The Miracle Unfolding in Mississippi Schools Since 2013, performance on national tests in Mississippi has skyrocketed, while scores in blue states have lagged. What is it doing right?

Mississippi has seen a stunning turnaround in national test scores in the past decade, even as they have fallen almost everywhere else. On "The Daily," our education reporter explains what the state can teach the rest of the U.S. about how to educate students.

It’s astonishing how Trump won because an overwhelming amount of people hate minorities more than they love themselves

I’m fine with it, it’s weekly and we finally know what the schedule is

Okay. Time for a thread about the Accelerationist propaganda mod for Hearts of Iron 4 and why it's bad that I don't see anyone in the field really talking about how video games and the networks around them are working to radicalize young men at an alarming rate. It urgently needs to be addressed /1

Trump was on his deathbed, but was miraculously healed when he professed his faith in Allah.

The Super Mario World theme is inspired by the 1963 song "Green Green". Nintendo planned a cheeky reference to this on the Satellaview by playing Green Green with the SMW soundfont, but this went unused, possibly due to the legal consequences of acknowledging the inspiration.
