(3/X) It shows how genuinely depraved American elite media is that people like Ben Smith and Caitlin Flanagan are defending someone who is an accomplice to mass murder with a "it was just sex" shrug.

When a bunch of folks were making fun of the bodies of the Texas National Guard deployed to Illinois, my reaction was that those folks signed up to help their neighbors, not to be an invading army.
This sucks so much.

I hope that this doesn't just become about "Nuzzi is bad" but fosters a wider recognition that our culture of political journalism that didn't just tolerate her, but promoted and celebrated her even after the allegations were known, is rotten to the core and has been for a long time.
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

The nonviolent moment was *not* peaceful.
The point was to draw out state violence, and be willing to face batons, water cannons, jail, and worse.
And Martin Luther King still got shot in the head— other civil rights leaders assassinated.
And now, civil rights progress is being rolled back.

One central lesson of 1960s civil rights protests is that activists can “dramatize injustice” through strategic “narrative construction,” essentially creating compelling stories in the media with clear heroes and villains. More in this thread: bsky.app/profile/owas...

"We are not your adversary. We are your police."
They support ICE with violence, just as they murder with impunity. They are, in fact, our adversaries.

One year at a bar the night before thanksgiving a stranger leaned over to ask me the name of the guy who was both a linguist & an activist & I blanked for a minute & then leaned over & shouted NOAM CHOMSKY, & he shouted back NOAM CHOMSKY & soon we had the whole bar chanting NOAM CHOMSKY NOAM CHOMSKY
Small town and suburban bars the week of thanksgiving have the most insane vibes—adults at home visiting parents and already going insane and sneaking out at night to drink. Weird and terrifying kinships form
