this is accurate, additionally: he does not think his job is “be president,” he thinks his job is to speak to his fans
because that is the routine his Swiss cheese brain knows how to run
he considers anyone speaking to him who is not a fan to be a heckler interrupting his performance

The fundamental thing to understand about this administration is the president is a grumpy retiree. He has no interest in working anymore. Which leads to him being pissed that he is getting asked a question, pissed he has to show up and work, the scheming viziers running the show, etc..

There is a long and ignoble history of misrepresenting cash transfers (and equivalents) to poor people as vote-buying.
Strange how far larger transfers to far wealthier interests don't get the same treatment.

It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.
Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

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.

yep. also really can't overstate how much nuzzi is very much the product of an environment that rewards amoral ambition and frowns on people who sincerely believe anything

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...
