One thing about me, I’m going to keep knitting as I watch heads roll from the gallows. 🧶

CATawampus - another fun word! The folk entomology is catamount and catercorner/kitty corner which foot is quartre or french for four 🇫🇷, and rhymes with compass or pompous. The golf connection makes me 🐈‍⬛🐅🐆

Thread.

Zimmer powerfully identifies the essential problem with @nytimes et al., a disastrous, seemingly unstoppable tendency to portray radical extremists as ordinary good guys with whom some might disagree.

And he nails Vought and his total commitment to fascism with blistering accuracy.

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy
