Time to call them out. Friends, Neighbors, Family. If they want to support the current regime. Let them know that they are hypocrites. Many of us are already doing this regularly. Keep it up!

Family holiday gathering tonight. Played Sheriff of Nottingham which is fun. Son remains comically incapable of lying with a straight face. I remain best at the tell-the-truth-unconvincingly gambit.

I have never, once in my career, heard of a news org responding to a decline-to-comment with, “Well, we’ll hold it until you do.”
The reason is obvious — it gives the subject of your story a pocket veto.

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

Mistake too many make is to imagine fascism as static. It’s barely an ideology; it’s definitely not stable. It’s not enough to say, “yeah I already knew they were bad.” This speech in this context means tomorrow is more dangerous than yesterday.

Why would Witkoff announce Russians peaceful intentions. If we were a mediator. That wouldn’t be our role at all.
Aside from which if I heard this as a Ukrainian I would be thinking extremely bad thoughts about the US. “Russia continues to want peace in Ukraine” - AYFKM?

How would this be worded any differently if it were issued by the Kremlin?

it’s sort of incredible to me that vance has apparently decided, of his own free will, that it’s his job to be even more viscerally unpleasant and personally charmless than spiro agnew, and that he seems to sincerely believe this will one day make him president
vance’s personal communication style is to behave like a preening, belligerent oaf in order to impress two 14 year old boys in one of the most racist group chats in history
