“Freedom of speech” for the architects and beneficiaries of the bullshit industrial complex means the freedom to spread bullshit, but does not extend to the freedom to call bullshit.
I've been saying for years now that the GOP considers any attempt to correct their lies as "censorship" and eventually it would lead to this.

More speech is now called censorship.

Donald Trump can’t change history, we know what we saw on this day four years ago. It was domestic terrorism and treason, plain and simple. No number of pardons or lies will change that.

My new piece for the New York Times, where I make the case that we need a lot more education to deal with disinformation, not more censorship and fact checks

It’s amazing how much of left wing thought around foreign policy in the West is basically just:

I'm seeing a younger generation of Syrian activists, recently politicized over Gaza, confused as to why some of the commentators they follow have such bad takes on Syria.

Having worked on #Syria full-time since the crisis began nearly 14yrs ago, there really is no understating how remarkable the losses imposed on #Assad's regime have been over the past week.

A large reason for this lies with #HTS — a 🧵:

This excellent Levant24 map illustrates the extent of #HTS/opposition gains over the past 4.5 days -- east into #Aleppo & south/southeast from there.

A huge stretch of the north-south M5 highway has been swallowed up. It took #Assad years to take that.

You don't stay and fight the assholes to try to reclaim the old party vibes. You leave to where the new party is.

The assholes can have the old house. It was just a house anyway, it was the people that made it cool.

Video claiming to show Ukrainian Neonazi group in Ukraine turns out to be a fabricated video filmed by Westerners in Canada. Not surprised at all, and once again people in the West are doing Putins bidding (or have other motives to paint Ukrainians as Neonazis which as bonus feature also help Putin)
LATEST: Ukrainian Language Atomwaffen Division Video Allegedly Filmed In Canada

The court also heard a breakdown by investigators that matched the location of a second video to a former schoolhouse in rural Quebec.

GBD (Great Barrington Declaration) Co-Author Jay Bhattacharaya nominated by Trump to lead the NIH (National Institute of Health).
Nominating "let it rip" advocate & merchant of death Jay B for such a position isn't far from nominating Jeffrey Dahmer as lead for the Food and Drug Administration FDA 🤦‍♂️
Trump makes it official: JAY BHATTACHARYA, a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, is his pick to lead the National Institutes of Health.

A remarkable turn after Bhattacharya became a public health pariah four years ago, dismissed by the then-NIH director for his "fringe" views.
