You all really, badly, quickly, need to familiarize yourselves with the Republicans’ media infrastructure. No joke. This, none of this surprises me. They have built a media ecosystem that is impenetrable and actively uses Dem messaging to push people down the alt-right pipeline.

Journalists at mainstream US publications are absolutely allowed to engage in activism as long as it is aimed at reinforcing existing hierarchies and undermining progressive change. NYT news reporters recently engaged in a startlingly effective campaign against trans rights, for example.

morality aside: it turns out, as a purely sociological matter, that a politics premised on empowering people who loudly and performatively don't care if discriminated-against Others suffer and die results in surprisingly indiscriminate suffering and death. this needs to be explained to people

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

This is actively something I don’t think people realize about this election: people forget that the Democratic Party (the vast majority) was actively ignoring their constituents at the same time they were demanding they vote for them. The images and videos that came out of the DNC alone…
