The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

just a reminder that the current best explanation for why this was necessarily or desirable is that the President wanted to see some video of it
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

6/ 🚨 Per CURRENT and former US officials, there are strong reasons to believe some people on board the Sept 2 boat were people being trafficked.

The US government has declared its official allegiance to white supremacy and its intent to eliminate nonwhite people in the American population, and our political class won’t talk about it because THEY don’t want to sound extreme.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

If you don't think this is just practice in their minds for what they're gonna do here to us when Trump is done building his bunker. Why do you think they're going after elected officials saying "don't follow illegal orders" They got lots more coming

We can hang these men for what they're doing to foreigners or we can wait until they start doing it to us. There is absolutely no third option.
Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America

There's a bizarre kind of "look, we'd all rather be women if we could but its not *allowed*" subtext that seems to underpin certain TERF logic and Graham Linehan is its strongest warrior.

It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

This would also seem to figure into the "it was journalistic malpractice to sit on this information" angle, albeit only by making it a totally different form of journalistic malpractice.
Okay this is not meant as a defense of Nuzzi at all but how did Lizza get all of this info? As reporters working at rival publications I can't imagine this was casual dinner conversation.
She accused him in a court doc of hacking her devices and I actually believe her.

This is all probably very confusing in RFK's world where "catch and kill" usually refers to his policy on any woodland creatures that cross his path.

Also these are people at the heights of the industry, and both Nuzzi and Lizza were almost instantly rehabilitated by top media companies after a first round of scandals that should have made them radioactive. Now lo and behold, much bigger shoes to drop, and we probably haven't seen the last of it.
The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit
