Also hard not conclude, when the Department of Homeland Security shares this video talking about "our homeland" in a post talking about "our shared savior," that I, an American Jew, am not included in "our," and maybe it'd be okay to deport or kill me. Good times.
Hard not to conclude from this montage that Donald Trump, the only repeated figure other than Santa Claus, is the Savior to which DHS is referring

I think we have established that Bari Weiss is an odious person.
But wait... it gets worse. She's an admirer of Bukele and his concentration camps, and thinks its funny that people get sent there.

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment.
It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

There are plenty of obvious reasons to do this: Nobody under the age of 30 actually uses the site! You're rewarding Elon Musk!
But the most important thing is that some politicians and consultants are stewing in bot-driven, expensive Nazi propaganda, and it's giving them really bad, cruel ideas.

Reporting on the JD Vance speech in Le Monde is balanced and gets to the essence of his speech, unlike NYT: Vance gave the closing speech at the Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix on December 21. While he followed Donald Trump's line, the essence of his speech was rooted in the white race
A Phoenix, J. D. Vance s’impose en successeur de Donald Trump et défend son nationalisme religieux : « Le christianisme est la foi de l’Amérique »
Le vice-président américain a clôturé la conférence de Turning Point USA, dimanche 21 décembre. Il s’est inscrit dans le sillage de Donald Trump, tout en donnant à son discours un contenu idéologique ...

We now know that just as Putin was keen to oust Gen Kellogg as Ukraine negotiator and replace him with his hand-picked choice, Steve Witkoff, Putin was also determined that Tulsi Gabbard be installed as DNI atop the intelligence community. She had served him faithfully in that position.

'Buy Canadian,' for sure, but show some love for courageous, beloved Costco that is actually taking on Trump in court
While Canadians are being urged to 'Buy Canadian' as a counterpunch to Trump's tariffs, writes Éric Blais, U.S.-owned Costco is in court defending predictable trade rules and economic stability.

Not to be rude to the NYT or anything, but maybe now's a good time for them to address Jeffrey Epstein's claim that he was good buddies with NYT publisher Punch Sulzberger in the 1970s? Epstein is known to exaggerate and lie; it might not be true. But it's about time NYT issued a statement. 10/
Why the NYT didn't report on their Epstein info is tangled up with another question: was Epstein a friend of the Sulzberger family? Epstein claims he first befriended NYT publisher "Punch" Sulzberger in the 1970s, when Sulzberger's daughter (age ~12) was at the prep school where Epstein taught. 1/

I agree. Either he didn't disclose it to his editors either and this is a colossal violation of conflict-of-interest rules, or he did, in which case someone has a monumental amount of explaining to do.
David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

I thought MAGA was a crystallization of many long-existing illiberal/authoritarian energies in US political culture from the moment Trump rode down that escalator. But seeing this on the streets of Portland in August 2018 convinced me that “fascism” was the word for it. bsky.app/profile/seth...
For example. This guy was later asked to provide security for GOP events in the Portland area. He’s now in jail. RWDS on his sleeve stands for “Right Wing Death Squad.”
