There is no version of the story in which collusion with white supremacy & dominant power is anything but a devil’s bargain for which you will pay … everything that matters like your heart, soul, heritage, culture, tradition CC: white Jews who haven’t figured this out yet.

I don't think people quite get how right wing the information environment is in 2025 without a solution in sight. Almost any criticisms of Democratic messaging (which they deserve too) has to start with acknowledging how much harder it is for them to drive any narrative beyond 2 hours.

If Hamas had just killed an Israeli-American there’d be wall to wall coverage in the US media. But Israeli settlers just killed a Palestinian-American so you’ll read about it at Zeteo but not many other places:

Sayfollah Musallet was visiting his family in the village of Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya when settlers allegedly beat him unconscious and blocked an ambulance from reaching him for hours.

Note that the administration’s claim of a 700% increase in assaults on ICE agents is likely made up mostly of incidents like this: claims that a 71-year-old citizen “pushed” a masked armed agent.

We just saw the new Superman movie. It's really good. It seems like a lot of the DC movies from the last couple of years have been kinda... apologizing? Embarrassed? Of being what they are? I am not sure how to explain it. But Superman just went, "Yeah, we're a big cheesy, hopeful movie, *and*?"

"Metadata embedded in the Epstein video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro."

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

ALL OF THIS! And let me add: This will absolutely hurt investigative reporting the most. Why? Because it’s slow, expensive to produce and does’t drive traffic. Sustaining a newsletter audience requires multiple stories a week. An investigative reporter can’t do that.
