(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal.

Here we go.

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

The influence of Nigerian charismatics on US Christian nationalism is huge. I'm not saying that's what this is about--or that there haven't been horrific attacks on Nigerian Christians--but that may be a factor at a remove.
Trump threatens to invade Nigeria "guns-a-blazing.”

“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!”

(🧵) A key irony in what is now happening in Portland, Chicago, Los Angeles, Memphis, and D.C. is something I have not heard much discussed: in order to meet the high legal standard for deployment of federal troops, Trump must not only argue but establish by evidence that his agents are... incapable.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

MORE: You can find live video of press coverage of this situation, in which media confirms that rubber bullets are being fired at peaceful protesters who are not trespassing. It's merely unfettered fascist violence being unloaded on Americans for the crime of exercising their First Amendment rights.

All latitude bands were warmer than average over the last 3 months. This was particularly notable across the Antarctic around the South Pole (austral winter).

Trump has seized investigative and prosecutorial weapons that, in order to safeguard the rule of law, have traditionally been walled off from the president.

SCOTUS handed him these loaded weapons.
The Supreme Court greenlit Trump’s political prosecutions—even the ones that are illegal
Thanks, John Roberts.
