I always felt like Bleet was a missed opportunity.

Iā€™m excited to share that the Researcher Support Consortium (RSC) has officially launched! The RSC is a response to the growing number of academic researchers who are facing campaigns of intimidation and harassment for their important public interest work. researchersupport.org 1/

Yup. All poll responses are not ā€œequal,ā€ pollsters have to weight by probability of voting. Not only have trad. metrics for determining weights been out of whack past few elections. In this one, pollsters cont. to systematically underestimate how mobilizing abortion is for a swath of likely voters.

So happy to be here! Feeling bull-ish about Bluesky eclipsing Xwitter some day, dare I say sooner than we might expect. (Be advised, however, that Iā€™m an incorrigible optimist.)

But, cults of personality donā€™t transfer well. No one, including his kids, will be able to pick up the mantle. And, without Trump, the other RW personalities will not be able to coalesce. Theyā€™ll continue to jockey & in-fight and fracture. And, I am really looking forward to watching the implosion.

Trumpā€™s not projecting the power he once did. His base is fracturing & desperate for the attention of the base whoā€™ll be looking for a new leader. This rhetoric & vitriol will only grow as they cast about, throwing racist spaghetti at the wall, trying to cement their place in the post-Trump era.
