"Where everybody lies about everything of importance, the truthteller, whether he knows it or not, has begun to act; he, too, has engaged himself in political business, for, in the unlikely event that he survives, he has made a start toward changing the world.”

Hannah Arendt - "Truth and Politics"

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate
NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats" subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

The nyt is locked arm in arm w Bari Weiss who cited a hoax “official antifa” Twitter account in an embarrassing piece it pubbed in ‘18. The times had to put an editor’s note on that but has apparently doubled down on this falsehood.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Much of the coverage of this White House "compact" remains really very bad, including today's headlines about MIT. Read @fishkin.bsky.social on what's actually going on here.

Why aren’t more women using the deepfake site? 🤔
Sora 2 is drawing a huge crowd of teenage boys. This doesn't bode well — trust me.
Sora 2 seems to encourage people to make fun of each other. It's also attracting a lot of teenage boys. This could be a nightmare for Sam Altman.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Christopher Columbus was a murderous rapist piece of shit who is only remembered as anything other than a genocidal monster because he was also incompetent as an "explorer" and got lost.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Saying someone is a "member of antifa" is like saying someone is a "member of socialism" or something. it makes zero sense. But they can't use the ideological form of the word because it makes it too clear what the ideology actually is and it would include our grandpas

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

Friends, I am feeling extremely depressed. I haven’t even been lucky enough to see or embrace what’s left of my memories, my clothes, my bed, and my room in my home, as my city is still under the grip of occupation.
I feel a very, very, very deep depression.

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.
