Elon Musk will stoke violence in the US, says Marcy Wheeler. He'd clearly back another Trump coup. So what's the hold-up? Elon Musk—the guy who needs to pollute your newsfeed with every one of his inane, bigoted thoughts—can’t help but be obvious. It’

And forcing them to give birth is an atrocity JD Vance looks annoyed. OK. He always looks annoyed. But JD Vance looks particularly annoyed that people are taking his comments about “childless cat ladies” personally. It’s so annoying to poor JD that people are starting to note that attacking
The right wing has kicked our ass by rigging the game. But they don't get to decide how long that works. My most chilling and inspiring epiphany in 2024 is that MAGA is already America’s national religion… until we say it isn’t. The backstory: Having a
