PSA-to my prospective "new" followers: I get some weird ones after every inflammatory news breaks (which now happens with breathtaking regularity).

If I can't figure out who/what you are after a 20 sec look, if you ask me for money, or have your shirt off (any gender), that's an immediate block.

If socialism also has to come with a dollop of misogyny and racism then I'm going to include myself out

How many times are we going to fall for this Lucy with a football thing? This guy looks just like he’s a gutter misogynist with racist sympathies, but he’s a socialist, we swear! We won’t pull it away this time!

Got scolded for “falling for an oppo dump” but I’m not really that concerned if his “women are responsible for their own rapes” and “my Nazi tattoo can be explained” news cycle is from Mills’ leaks. These are genuinely really bad!

yeah it is not “liberal censoriousness” to think that you shouldn’t nominate the guy without the sense to not get a nazi tattoo and then not remove it

The obsession with white male conservatives as a beacon of authenticity means that the left is desperate for a guy who looks like John Fetterman and votes like Bernie Sanders. But the guys who look like John Fetterman vote like John Fetterman.

Many years ago I was made aware that Ed Cox knew what I was doing & didn't like it. But Julie's family did.

Tricia & Ed Cox seem to believe in nothing but influence for its own sake. (They were unable to buy their idiot son a political career.) Julie & David Eisenhower - much more normal people, with normal children - have more of a hand in CNI. That's all I can tell you.

I should point out the Library is still a NARA site also staffed by librarians & archivists who do excellent work under difficult conditions.

I'm not sure what changed, or how. But it's all out the window. The Library & Foundation are wore than they ever were. The Foundation uses the Library as glorified hotel ballroom for whoever's shilling books this week. It regularly hosts people RN would call clowns.

Julie - whose has more centrist politics - tends to think the way to restore him to his proper place is to reckon with his errors. (She wouldn't say crimes, but I would.) You saw Julie's way asserted when the Foundation briefly allowed NARA to try to shift the Nixon Library to a real museum.

- & turned it into a sort of zombie satellite, free from the Foundation's excess but never living up to its goals. This is rooted in Tricia & Julie hating each other. Generally both are fiercely loyal to their father but Tricia’s way is closer to his - he did nothing wrong, fuck ‘em.

It is too soon to tell, but she comes from a similar background and is similarly conservative, yet she seems to understand, as Thatcher did, there are certain things she won't be able to get away with.

The Nixon Foundation’s primary purpose was always to re-litigate Watergate & edify Richard Nixon. He founded the Nixon Center (now Center for the National Interest) to advance his foreign policy goals. But after 1994 (ahem) the Foundation couldn’t keep its hands off CNI - bsky.app/profile/jenn...

i am even willing to cede that it's *possible* he was straight-up too dumb to realize that it was a hardcore Nazi tattoo until recently, but I also think that means you are therefore too dumb to be a senator

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 5h

we're not talking about a generic skull and crossbones tattoo here - Graham Platner's tattoo appears to be a straight-up 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf.

not subtle!
