James Bennet's critics said that Tom Cotton was very obviously a bloodthirsty authoritarian hungry for arbitrary state violence. And I have to say that was tremendous work by James Bennet's critics. Absolute bull's eye

focusing on the second strike and its legality or illegality begs the question of the first strike being legal
I’ve been thinking about this issue a lot. Is it that they want to distract from the first strike? Or is it that they believe there will be consensus on the second strike being illegal?

Excellent deep-dive into the violence perpetrated by fascist Zionist thugs at UCLA. Democrats, Republicans, the ADL, and the media have spent over a year lying that the violence was an antisemitic attack on Jews, and have used it and other lies to eviscerate higher education in the US:
“That was the day that it hit: UCLA has changed forever. It marked a turning point in the militarization of campus.”

Ministers and activists are pushing to release dozens of prisoners, including murderers, who attacked Palestinians. The state won’t disclose their identities.

Just for everyone who grew up with Trump, I promise you that back in the day, everyone hated Congress but they actually did pass real laws.

It was actually fairly normal for them to pass bills that did things that weren't crypto handouts or funding masked kidnappers who torture immigrants.

A core problem for American liberalism is a constitutional inability to tell people who were important to the movement decades ago to go away because they're not relevant anymore.

Reagan/GW Bush admin people might as well not exist to the modern right. Maybe that's...something to consider.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

nah, i'm pretty sure it's the killing people part that's the worst
The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

It’s always funny to blame 2016 on Jill Stein and third party voters when Hillary probably loses the popular vote and three more states without the Libertarians
May Jill Stein find her way to insignificance as soon as possible.

I worked at a university where the five highest paid employees were the men’s basketball coach, the former men’s basketball coach who was fired, the former men’s basketball coach who was fired before that one, the former president who had been fired, and the current president. In that order.
This year, universities are giving $228 million to football coaches who failed at coaching football so that they won't coach football anymore.

If you think your job is not to tell the truth but to "challenge your audience's assumptions" if the latter is in tension with the former then you're going to end up lying. bsky.app/profile/larr...
For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times stories—for example, the highlighting of Trump’s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)—is not an indication that I want my “views validated.”
