This (unsurprisingly) tracks with what @docjorich & @che_bullock laid out over 3 years ago in this article for @theappeal, based on direct conversations with the at-risk young men most directly impacted by this rising violence. https://t.co/k2DDvmXe3n

How do people think this would have gone, exactly? Kamala goes on Rogan, eats an eighth of shrooms, trips balls live on air, flips millions of votes and wins the election?

Force Majeure [2024]

Aren't these inflated Polymarket numbers just an obvious ploy by Elon/Thiel to hedge their Trump bets by finessing MAGA true believers into buying super high on Trump, ensuring a massive payday if Kamala wins? I can't be the only one saying this, right? https://t.co/2Pik3t2V4Y

Some personal news: Tomorrow is my first day at LEAP (@PoliceForReform) where I'll be strategic comms director. Lots of feelings about leaving full-time work in journalism again, but I'm an @theappeal stan for life and they're not getting rid of me that easily! More there soon.
