Remembering how during the Claudine Gay scandal, one of its biggest promoters of the story was Bill Ackman. Then someone uncovered that Ackman's own wife was a professor alleged to have committed much more serious academic misconduct than Gay and then nothing happened to her.

I wrote about Ross Douthat's last column and why conservative white supremacists like Ross always claim that fascists have no agency. It's because they know the fascists are working for them but they want to pretend they don't know that. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/ross-douth...

Consensus white supremacy relies on fascism to crush its foes.

What's making me really livid right now is thinking back to the years of commentary lecturing us that the rise of MAGA was rooted in a sense of righteous victimization by overbearing liberal elites, and sneering at those who insisted that it was fundamentally about domination and sadism all along.

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

I’ll say it again: the Senate Democratic leadership’s approach to handle a bully stealing their lunch money every day is to simply carry more lunch money and see what happens.

The Trump ceasefire deal is the Biden ceasefire deal Trump begged Bibi not to accept in 2024 because it would've hurt Trump's chances of winning the election and I wish this was the first time a GOP candidate for president won by meddling in American foreign policy. See: Nixon '68 and Reagan '80.

This is the world Trumpists want: where with help from the state, any bigot can—just for fun—ruin the life and career of a POC or LGBT professional with as little as an accusation; and the professionalism and accomplishments of the victim make them more of a target, not less. G*mergate's endpoint.

it doesn't seem like too much to ask for at least a brief moratorium on "centrist" Dems knifing their own party members while Trump is attempting to pass the worst piece of legislation since the Fugitive Slave Act

He shows how the party is falling short, but he has the wrong solutions.

🧵Let the gravity of this sink in. The Qatari royal family bankrolls Hamas. This is Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, relative of the man who funded the mastermind of the Sept 11 attacks & helped him evade capture for years. They now just bought their way into Trump’s inner circle.

In fairness though, it's mind boggling that it requires a "sales pitch" to convince a majority of people not to elect an obviously corrupt convicted felon who openly promised to be corrupt and commit more felonies.

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

25. These seven Democratic senators seem to be playing by the old rules, and they may feel they are getting something for their compromise vote. They are getting nothing. Except getting exposed as weak. www.editorialboard.com/democrats-ga...

Democrats gain nothing by compromising with Trump
Yet they hope and they hope and they hope.
