I’ll keep saying this forever because folks keep getting this wrong: the problem isn’t “State Media”. In a healthy democracy state-owned media can be the best quality news anywhere! The problem is One Party State media. One Party Media is just 1 click down. There’s One Party Media all over the USA

This is so nearly a very good article by Eliot Cohen but then it crushes itself in important ways: 1) MAGA is “anti-anti-Semitic”. Um. This is the movement of “many fine people”, camp Auschwitz pardons, and QAnon promotion etc … ad infinitum. 1/3

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev

With a list like this (including “historically”, “women”, and “polarization”) they’re going to need a whole new way to speak. A Newspeak perhaps.

Unpopular, but please stop calling it a coup. It doesn’t have to be a coup to be wildly wrong and illegitimate. But if we give that impression we weaken, rather than strengthen, the condemnation.

“On Friday morning, the staffers at a half dozen U.S.-funded medical facilities in Sudan who care for severely malnourished children had a choice to make: Defy President Donald Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations or let up to 100 babies and toddlers die. They chose the children.”

A consequence of Christian Nationalism gaining greater influence over foreign and defense policy: “Deus Vult” reasoning. The theology of Christian Nationalism is great comfort for meat-headed reasoning — or justifying just about anything for that matter.

The thing about plane crashes it they prey on the subconscious of every traveler. And I am skeptical that scapegoating “DEI” will comfort the subconscious part of the brain that wants assurances these crashes won’t keep happening. Even among much of the anti-DEI agitated volk.

He sure did. And it’s worth highlighting that top experts of anti-semitism describe QAnon as essentially a “rebrand” of the core Nazi conspiracy theory about a global Jewish plot.

It should not be hard to simply say, “This was the worst US air disaster since 9/11, and we don’t have an FAA administrator because Elon Musk ordered Trump to fire him.”

Patel defends himself by claiming he goes on these kinds of podcasts in general to fight the lies. There’s no evidence he went on Peters show to bring him down. “You’ve got a great show” is how Patel signed off once on the overtly anti-Semitic and vile Peters show.

8 appearances on a virulently, proudly and obscenely anti-Semitic influencer’s podcast/youtube channel. Stew Peters is a Nazi by any reasonable definition of Nazi ideology, despite pretending he’s just a “Christian Nationalist” — which is a very old ploy among Nazi mainstreamers.

So as far as I can tell, Musk used his influence to get friends installed in key positions at the Office of Personnel Management, a department he has no role in, and now they are taking orders from Musk, not the administration.

Sieg Heils are heart emojis, swastika waving crowds at Charlottesville are fine people, Jan 6 was an election fraud intervention, and anti-semitism is just trolling. There is no universe where this doesn’t have dreadful consequences.

In England diets are rubbish. Absolutely rubbish. Obesity rates aren’t far behind those in the US. Yet life expectancy rates in England are not moving backwards, like in the US. It’s not the fresh pasta. (It’s the socialized medicine, you dim wits).
