the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

Agreed. TV is not nearly harsh enough in its depiction of journalists
"I am a huge fan of the classic TV series 'Law & Order.' And yet I cannot think of a single episode — among hundreds — in which a journalist is depicted as honorable." www.poynter.org/commentary/2...
Why I’m begging TV showrunners to stop writing journalists as villains - Poynter
I will stop shouting at the TV screen when journalists are portrayed with all their virtues and vices — not as caricatures

I think they probably welcome it. They're all hopelessly biased in Trump's favor but having the WH call them out as somehow being "anti-Trump" is brand management for them

This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds.
The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful.
THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die.

When not even pedo-protector Jamie Dimon wants a piece of your action
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

I had a conversation related to this at the anti-vax conference that didn't make it into my piece. This guy and I were chatting about folks being kidnapped by ICE even though they hadn't been found guilty of a crime and he said, "Well, the Constitution only applies to citizens."
From the people who brought you "oh so it's racist to say that white people are better than black people?" comes "find me a single place in the law where it says not to commit murder."

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.
We executed multiple members of that crew.

on one hand I hope they run Vance, on the other we have to be clear-eyed that it is not a race against Vance, it's a race against Vance and AG Sulzberger and the rest of the ratfuck mafia
those of you who doubt my "vance will be the nominee" take note how low the approval is overall while still being comically high among the base
New Gallup poll shows Trump's approval hit a new low for his second term:
-36% approve
-60% disapprove
His approval among Republicans went from 91% in January to 84% in November

No one wants to upset the golden egg layer that is Trump - easy stories with easy access. Prestigious journalists sit on timely and important stories for years for their books. Journalists routinely print stories from GOP stories that are proven to be lies and then come back to the source for more

we know they’re perfectly capable of demanding resignations on their editorial pages
the fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.

They don’t want to. Just like their owners, they like Trump and want him to win and will gargle as much shit as he gives them
I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?
Does he still think that?
