I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Yup, a senior advisor who served as president of a conservative Tea Party activist group, and a “nonpartisan” polling guy who previously worked on President Trump's polling team.
And both are pitching third-party AI snake oil to “remake” politics.
Very “independent.”

It’s important to note that every single one of these Chicago ICE/ CBP stories DID receive massive coverage by our local media. It was local press together with vigilant residents that documented & then unraveled nearly every lie about the incidents as well.

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

Something that strikes me in reading about this AND reading about other major figures in the news is that we have designed a system in America where the absolutely worst people are handed the largest, most powerful megaphones. It can’t be accidental. We built it on purpose.
So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?
