If you consider yourself a "Threat Intelligence Platform", don't email a spreadsheet of malicious indicators daily.

That helps no one.

Like this is exactly right, and I'm glad he's saying it out loud, because it's something we don't reckon with enough in society: people who are *nationalists* and people who are *patriots* might both identify with national symbols, but they are valorizing importantly different aspects of the nation

There are two forms of nationalism. There is the aspirational nationalism of people, ranging from Abraham Lincoln to Ronald Reagan to Joe Biden, who emphasize that America is not only a land but was founded to embody and spread the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address. Then there is the ancestors and homeland nationalism, traditionally more common in Europe, of Donald Trump and Vance, the belief that America is just another collection of people whose job is to take care of our own. In his Republican National Convention acceptance speech Vance did acknowledge that America is partly a set of ideas (though he talked about religious liberty and pointedly not the Declaration). But then when it came time to define America, he talked about a cemetery in Kentucky where his ancestors have been buried for generations. That invocation is the dictionary definition of ancestors and homeland nationalism.
Trump and Vance have to rebut the idea that America is the embodiment of universal ideals. If America is an idea, then Black and brown people from all over the world can become Americans by coming here and believing that idea. If America is an idea, then Americans have a responsibility to promote democracy. We can't betray democratic Ukraine in order to kowtow to a dictator like Vladimir Putin. If America is an idea, we have to care about human dignity and human rights. You can't have a president go to Saudi Arabia, as Trump did this month, and effectively tell them we don't care how you treat your people. If you want to dismember journalists you don't like, we're not going to worry about it.

Disney said screw it, let's drop a star wars movie every week for a month and absolutely killed it imho.

That being said, you don't have to watch them clumped together.
