Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

You can be a Tasmanian Devil of vile and easily disproven bullshit, but if you also hate trans people you will be called a "challenging thinker" by American media institutions

The Marjorie Taylor Greene conciliation tour is fascinating to watch - it doesn't accomplish its stated goals of damaging Trump any more than she was willing to do on her own, but it's still an excuse for centrists to browbeat leftists for "failing to think strategically"

Years ago, one of my journalism mentors said that three questions cut through a lot of political noise.
1) Who, or what, is being emphasized?
2) Who, or what, is being ignored?
3) Who, or what, is considered expendable?
I think about those a lot.

I genuinely think people are underestimating how much influence never Trump conservatives have in the Democratic coalition right now and how their influence is acutely felt by the people they’ve targeted throughout their political careers.

it's fucked that we're expected to take seriously all these guys who'd get kicked out of a clown car for being too goofy. who cares what an adult man who says Based thinks, he's stupid. he thinks George Soros stole the green M&M's sexy boots, and he thinks it a LOT. let's hear his immigration ideas

My opinion of the New York Times is distinctly outside the mainstream among journalists. Most think NYT is mostly excellent journalism with some flaws and blind spots, I think it's mostly a vehicle for laundering right wing propaganda with some excellent people who put out good work.
I just learned that this incredibly flawed story was put on the front page of the newspaper, and that certainly seems like an editorial choice
New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok!
So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵
