Ronald Reagan famously said, "You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone from any corner of the earth can come to live in America and become an American".

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

As a German, you have my approval to use German history to push back at the US southerners, who claim the statues of those who fought for their "right" to own people and uphold slavery, would be all just about "history", by telling them:

When the ACA subsidies expire and millions lose healthcare and it becomes completely unaffordable, it’s on the Republican Party, they are the ones who took it out of the budget! Fuck Nazi Trump!

I get it. Make a statement and count on people having zero critical thinking skills.
Because this? Is BS.
"The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light"
Yeah, next...

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

It's been almost two days since the Epstein files were supposed to be released. Has President Clinton been arrested yet? Wasn't his name supposed to be all over the files? Isn't that what they said?

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

We need to keep pushing that they release the Epstein files. Unredacted. If they fail to do this, the DoJ goes to jail.
