I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.
God the gall of @jaketapper.bsky.social lecturing that Minneapolis small business owner about the meaning of the word "concentration camp" while people are being crammed into poorly resourced buildings by the thousands and shuttled off never to be heard from again

I was trying to pull up a picture of banana ripeness for my English convo group and for some reason the keyboard didn't register the first part, so it just searched Google images for "peness".

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?
Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it.

So back in June Alex Padilla was tackled and detained by ICE for trying to ask a question at a press conference. The story from the administration was he attacked her.
Fast forward 7 months, Maxwell Frost attacked, Ilhan Omar attacked. Not a peep from the media about "turning down the rhetoric". 🙄

we know regime playbooks here: smear the deceased, target the family, valorize the murderer both as supposedly innocent and with a sadistic delight in the murder itself.
I have an awful feeling they’re going to target the bereaved

It’s a very complicated world, and there’s a lot of grey rather than black or white, so it’s comforting to know with certainty that if Tricia McLaughlin says something you can know, with confidence, it’s false.
DHS's first official statement is out, and they call the woman who was shot a domestic terrorist who they claim was trying to kill an ICE agent.
As a reminder, Tricia McLaughlin's post-shooting statements have been proven to be false MULTIPLE times in the past. They are simply not trustworthy.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Pardoned by Trump after convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion. Don’t have to pay back $17.8 million in restitution or serve 12 year sentence. Not Somalis.

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

The 'London is dangerous' meme is a useful reminder that the dividing line in our society is increasingly 'Can you perceive reality, at all?'
saw a certain recently-arrived-in-Washington journalist gushing about how safe it feels compared to London, the murder rate there is 32 per 100,000! London's is somewhere around 1! Be real!

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.
