Trump is spending his morning on Truth Social directly posting 4chan and Q messages, a day after calling to be reinstated as president. He's doing explicitly what he used to try to shade or use coded language for. https://twitter.com/...

Pretty sure this means that Apple will soon follow suit. They're usually more restrictive than Google - not less. https://twitter.com/...

Google runs numbers. All Trump has left is promoting violence. Morals aside, the commercial benefit of tying themselves to him, with potential liability and his dwindling support, doesn't make sense under any fiscal cost/benefit analysis. That's a win. https://www.axios.com/...

I am cautious to focus too much on the former president. But it does seem noteworthy that he is taking a turn for the explicitly revolutionary and Q, while his deputies are implying that there will be political violence if he is prosecuted. https://twitter.com/...

There's a theory of responding to post-presidency Trump that argues we should just ignore him. But he's directly spreading insane conspiracy theories that actively spark political violence to a large extremist audience, and that doesn't just go away if ignored by the rest of us. …

I just think everyone - including the mainstream press - needs to take seriously the growing coordination between the Trump operation, the extremist 4chan/Q crowd, and the monarchist new right. https://twitter.com/...

For good measure, he's also promoting a nonsense idea that the FBI and antifa, not his supporters, stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, and a completely false claim about Ray Epps' wife. https://twitter.com/...
