Bari Weiss, who now has the power of an entire legacy TV network behind her, has been done in by a bunch of pissed off people on a social media app famously hated by right wingers and I am so here for all of it.

52% disapproval among white people seems like a notable problem for a party with a one-issue platform of white supremacy.

Don’t attribute to malice what can be attributed to a mixture of incompetence AND malice. The kids are calling it “malcompetence”

Someone telling me they are a Republican is telling me they are not to be trusted with anything. That’s a very logical response for anyone to have to that information.

We’re living in an age of intense right-wing victimhood. Despite dominating political institutions, finance, and, yes, higher ed, the right is always complaining about being oppressed, silenced, & persecuted while they oppress, silence, & persecute everyone else.

Also I think it’s important to remember that very recently we as a country were doing a lot of good things, and know that it is possible that sometime in the future we will do even better things.

All of this info is mostly already known, it’s just pathetic and consolidates Bari Weiss as a proud collaborationist nazi herself. She loves this. Bari Weiss wants more minorities to be tortured, raped, and enslaved. Bari Weiss endorses all of this. This is her life’s work.

The US Administration has chosen to obliterate huge swathes of our scientific research.

That decision will kill Americans.

Conservative Americans and Liberal Americans.

A new report from researchers at the Yale School of Public Health warns that the U.S. government’s abrupt cancellation of funding for mRNA vaccine research could have devastating health and economic consequences for the nation.

Holy shit 3200 jobs of 11000 people...

Once you factor in people not in the workforce that is ~45% of all jobs in the town.

Literally apocalyptic for that town.

Bari Weiss still having the temerity to call herself a "centrist" after openly acting as Trumpworld's highly-placed apparatchik & propagandist is exactly why they gave her the roles of highly-placed apparatchik & propagandist.

there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

Truthfully, this is good practice for y'all.

People need to get in the mindset that important stuff is gonna disappear. So, what are we gonna do about it?

Stand up. There are always clever ways. Find them. And, do your bit.
Cool how we are smuggling domestic news in over the border from canada and people having to share it on bulletproof hosting providers to stop the government and media owners taking it down

This was entirely about purging a trans instructor from the school and they succeeded. It was aided by a lot of dumb liberals taking it at face value arguing the minutia of grading rubrics while ignoring the obvious bad faith efforts behind this.

None of the House abettors of Jan 6 faced any sanction, but then again, they were white.
Fine: "I'm talking to my colleagues about whether we want these fake Somali refugees - who come to our country, add no value, suck our resources, defraud our govt - whether we actually want them here. I don't think Ilhan Omar shouldn't be a member of Congress - I think she shouldn't be an American"

Which is why Bari Weiss tried to bury it
Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

Biden was once asked if he thought the U.S. was a racist country, and he said "No. We are not."

Huge failure to talk about racism, how we got here, and how proud Nazis and white supremacists (among other affiliations) were recruiting people.

You can't solve a problem unless you acknowledge it.
