Reactionary centrism isn't a political philosophy at all. It's just guys playing the air violin and making the jerkoff motion, but shaped into something meant to look like a worldview.

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

Well, I forgot my roommate from my summer 2012 apartment sublet in D.C. is now the Secretary of the Army, until tonight, when he told Fox News there is a troop on the moon

In 2018, Donald Trump, then in his first term as US president, let Iran out of nuclear restrictions in exchange for nothing. Many people, very much including me, warned that he put things on a path with only two possible outcomes: large-scale war, or a nuclear-armed Iran. And here we are.

The political media is overrun by wannabe theater critics and sports analysts. Two words: Neal Postman.

Explosive moment during tonight's NYC mayoral debate: Cuomo: "He’s never dealt with the city council, he’s never dealt with the Congress..." Mamdani: "I’ve never had to resign in disgrace...I have never hounded the thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment."

really showing your own bright red ass to the world if you’re sneering about how protests on weekends don’t count because they signal insufficient commitment

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

This is incredibly puerile, and incredibly lazy. It betrays a total misunderstanding of... well, a bunch of stuff. There's no reporting. It's loaded with vague assertions, unsupported points, and horrendous cliches.

A not-tiny number of the people who voted in 2024 have never known a mainstream media that wasn’t totally compromised, corrupt, complicit, and culpable.

Even this, they cover as if it were 1985 and they were covering Reagan’s budget. Same tone, same detachment, same dullness. “Under scrutiny. But not by us. Not our job.”

Look at the string of facts here, plainly expressed. Now imagine if they did that with fascism. If they (all of them) had covered politics that way all along, Trump likely wouldn’t have been elected.

The appellation “vaccine skeptic,” applied to lunatic conspiracy theorists, might be the best of all the possible examples to cite when you want to demonstrate how the media affirmatively, purposefully lies. It’s an especially bald, shameless lie. We all know what “skeptic” means!

I get why the hucksters are pushing this shit. I don’t get why so many people are falling for it, often spending big to incorporate it into their services; including many people you wouldn’t expect to be such easy marks.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.
