i joined matt bernstein to talk to ashley st clair, a mother to one of elon musks babies, who’s since exited the far right movement. we spent this time grilling her talking to her about her past bigotry and what made her change

She Had Elon’s Baby. Then, the Leopards Ate Her Face.

i have something i think is really interesting coming out this friday that i was able to take part in, keep an eye out for it

tom brady and snoop dogg starring in a "stand up to hate" commercial while both being supporters and friends of donald trump is kinda the natural conclusion of "just be kind <3" messaging that refuses to engage with politics

i’m being serious. who the hell is joy villa? she’s been invited to the grammys almost every year for the last decade and does this every time. she’s a “singer” with 1,108 monthly listeners on spotify. does anyone know what’s going on

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

stopping the flow of HIV drugs to poor countries and demanding that foreign doctors stop distributing the meds already sitting in their clinics is so evil it is hard to wrap my head around. one day when when this is all history i will struggle to forgive anyone who voted for him

i’ve gotten a lot of messages from baby queers being like “will we get through this” and the answer is yes. i don’t know how it’ll all go down and it will suck for a while but your human spirit is 10000x stronger than their hatred. it’s the only reason you’ve gotten this far

one day when this is all over — and it will be — i will personally never forget the people, famous or otherwise, who jumped on board with fascism because it was the easier thing to do at the time

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.
