The Talent of Delusion
The Talent of Delusion

#Democrats are justifiably searching for a way to reach that wide swath of voters who seem permanently turned off to their party.
...
But the way to do it is not to normalize #ConspiracyTheorists who have already done so much damage. It’s not to offer chummy chats – with little or no pushback – to those who want to trash vulnerable people, including #transgender individuals and #immigrants, or to repeat lies about a stolen election.
JFC This is a clown show, an evil clown show.
Several prominent *conservative* *influencers* [#ConspiracyTheorists & #FearMongers] emerged from the WH on Thurs saying they’d met w US AG #PamBondi & #FBI dir #KashPatel & were given documents tied to the investigation of #convicted #SexOffender #JeffreyEpstein, a case that has become a fixation among #RightWing broadcasters & conspiracy theorists.

"The pre-modern, anti-scientific absurdity of their position was apparent in an age of stage coaches and rotten boroughs. And yet in 2025, after more than two centuries of what seemed like progress, Texas is gripped by its worst measles outbreak this century."
Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality
"Antivaxers, cranks and fantasists thrive in safe, stable societies but the days of consequence-free idiocy may be ending."

Fake Winter
Winter’s not real.
It’s just a plot by Big Puffer Jacket!
I hadn’t been there in a while but thought I’d take a quick look around #Twitter /X & see what the space is like nowadays
It had been a swamp before I left, but it’s gotten even more murky. Lots of #MAGA , #FarRight , #QAnon , #ConspiracyTheorists & other over the top wackos. Following my little list of accts was cool, but as soon as I went out in the public feed, it was insane & delusional. Sadly, for too many people over there, reality is a foreign concept. 🙁
