Trump and Stephen Miller have relied on an army of MAGA "influencers" widely disseminating a fraudulent picture of Portland in chaos, to bolster the case for deploying military.

NYT has a good new piece on this. But it made several missteps worth highlighting. 2/

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Only with ardent patience will we conquer the splendid city that will give light, justice and dignity to all men. Thus poetry will not have sung in vain.

I believe that the first test of a truly great person is their humility. I do not mean by humility, doubt of their own powers. But really great people have a curious feeling that the greatness is not in them, but through them.

There are, indeed, things that cannot be put into words. They make themselves manifest.
They are what is mystical.

And then there were the #poets, those unbelievable people so different from others, who told anyone who would listen that a wish is more important than a fortune, and that a dream can weigh more than iron or steel.
