This is something a lot of us have noticed over the past year. Good on the NY Times to lay out all the data and show that it isn't just Ben Shapiro who is losing his audience -- it's the entire right-wing media ecosystem. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

How the Pro-Trump Media Ecosystem Is Splintering Ahead of the Midterms

Once united in support of President Trump, right-wing influencers are embroiled in feuds and losing viewers, creating a problem for Republicans in the midterm elections.

Da hat man ein Thema, das genau am Alltagsverstand der breiten Masse ansetzt und bei dem die extreme Rechte nicht glaubwürdig mitreden kann und ich höre nur Grillenzirpen. Manchmal habe ich das Gefühl man ist allergisch auf gewinnen.

The model is self renewing, eventually the rents themselves will pay for more housing units to be built or acquired. What I love most about the Vienna Model, is that it is not means tested. Everyone in the city has access to social housing with out bureaucratic red tape and income limitations. 2/

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

If public banking threatens both commercial and shadow banking, the coalition against it includes actors who disagree about everything else. That's a useful diagnostic: when opponents who hate each other both oppose the same reform, the reform is probably touching something structural.

In a world of fossil price shocks and Chinese cleantech dominance, carbon shock therapy emerges as the default stance of states unwilling, or unable, to support their industries through a green transformation. New with @danielagabor.bsky.social on green macrofinancial regimes in the Hormuz crisis.

Platon war übrigens der Meinung der Reichste einer Gesellschaft dürfe nur maximal zwanzig Mal so viel besitzen dürfen wie der Ärmste, wenn es zu keinen gesellschaftlichen Problemen kommen soll. Scheint mir eine vernünftige Analyse zu sein. (2021)

Democrats should gerrymander the hell out of their districts. Neutralize Republican voters. Supreme Court is cool with it so just flex until MAGA cries uncle. Fight fire with fire. You cant be Civil with fascists.

I think part of the reason the Pope thing is hitting so much is that modern life is so devoid of *any* morality, any system of right and wrong that is not completely hollow and fraudulent, which hits as halfway sensible and opposed to Trump and those like him, feels absolutely revolutionary

👇🎯 The election victory is just the start. Unwinding competitive authoritarianism takes time & institutional reform. Everyone needs to know that is going to be true in America as well. The election victory will just be the start.

HUGE: TISZA/democratic opposition headed for a historic win against autocratic Fidesz/Orban, despite electoral tampering/gov't controlled media. THIS, not Brexit, is a real "liberation day!" BUT: we've learned from Poland that restoring democracy takes more than election. More on that this week...

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...
