As Twitter is melting down (once again), we have many new users coming in here at Toad.Social. All are welcome.

I am committing to break significant news here first, and only later on Twitter, henceforth.

My team and I are heads down working on significant new stories, so may be a bit quieter than usual, but we'll be making sure you have a good experience here.

Thanks for being part of this community, and for your commitment to truth and journalistic integrity. 

My shorthand for the approach we most need in election coverage is this:

"Not the odds, but the stakes."

How does this work in practice? Margaret Sullivan answers that in The Guardian today. "Now’s the time to think about just how bad a DeSantis presidency would be."

Not how DeSantis plans to outwit Trump and then succeed in "the general" (itself an insidery phrase...) but what life would be like if he took power.

Not the odds, but the stakes.

President Biden cites facts that white supremacy terror is America’s greatest domestic security threat—and MAGAs lose their minds.

Here’s the thing.

I’m Muslim. I don’t feel attacked when people condemn the Taliban because Taliban do not represent Muslims and I proudly take the lead in condemning Taliban terrorism.

If you’re MAGA white and feel personally attacked when Biden condemns white supremacy terror—you are absolutely telling on yourself.

FOX made up a story of “Veterans kicked out of hotel to make room for migrants” while simultaneously supporting MAGA debt budget which cuts Veterans benefits by 22%.😳

They’re more outraged over a fake story about evil brown migrants than the real story of evil greedy billionaires.😑

Modern day white supremacy in all its ugliness.
