The author of that editorial is Derek Hunter, a podcaster and former staffer of late Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT).

It won't even serve as remedial lesson against the bipartisan push to diddle CDA §230. None of our Congresscritters seem to remember Stratton Oakmont.

They follow the Authoritarian's Playbook, but Trump has the patience and temperament of a five year-old. He's doing it 'way too fast, in the wrong order, without proper coordination. Greg Doucette wrote about the logistical-political-arithmetic stupidies involved. 2/2 bsky.app/profile/greg...

If you just want to repeat what you wrote on the fascist site, you might at least be inclusive of visually-impaired readers. Not bothering with alt-text seems lazy and disrespectful. Alternatively, you might first post on Bluesky, and save your screenshots for The Other Place.

Newsom called Abrego Garcia's case “a distraction." His podcast "Meet Gavin Newsom" platformed Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. He threw trans athletes under the bus. He obliged Trump by canceling Medi-Cal for undocumented immigrants before the Budget Buster Bill even passes.

A lot of right-wing yahoos don't bother with firearm safely. If militia types get involved, the government should expect to lose some personnel to ostensibly 'friendly' fire. #MuzzleDisclipline

Does Abrego Garcia have a colorable defamation claim against Bondi for her efforts to try his case in the media?

Two years ago, RFK Jr. said COVID-19 was "targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people" and that Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people were "most immune."

‪@nypost.com‬ captions this photo "Russian TU-22 fighter jets." They are not "fighter" aircraft, nor are they TU-22 ('Badger'). They are TU-22M ('Backfire') bombers.

Given his proclivity for LOLsuits, I'd have expected Mr. Musk to sue if the NYT had, indeed, been "lying their ass off." It's not especially common, but one could imagine NYT using the essential truth of some allegation as a defense to libel. Anyway, Elmo just sits there blubbering.

Did you observe that Molly Shane (who "verified" that Gaza account) is not the same as Molly Shaw, with whom your controversy began? (I can't find any "Molly Shane" on BlueSky).
