  Hamilton Nolan: Don't look for a governing philosophy in the White House and Republican Party — Donald Trump governs like a crime boss. "The goal of all this is not 'remaking the government in a conservative image'—it is 'if you want anything, you have to ask me for it.' The rules that governed how the government works are tossed out and replaced with 'Trump’s will.' That’s how mob bosses rule." https://www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/gangster-party (7/9) 🧵

  When Chappell Roan spoke out to ask the music industry to offer health benefits to struggling musicians, the industry struck back to protect their oligopoly. In the music industry, a few big companies dominate everything — recording, distribution, publicity and performance. Musicians and fans have no freedom to take their business elsewhere. https://prospect.org/culture/2025-02-20-your-kink-is-health-care-good-luck-babe/ (4/9) 🧵

    Fans have been pushing pop stars to take courageous political stands, but Chappell Roan’s skirmish with an obnoxious exec shows how hard it is for them to stand up even for themselves.
