Something seems to connect all of these things… I doubt that the legacy media is able to pick up on it though (let alone name it).

What is so extremely NYT about this piece is that the issue of democracy is not even touched upon in this piece…

Want to leave your reactionary centrist U.S. publication (The Atlantic, NYT, WaPo), but don't know where to go? Here is a good guide!

For day-to-day, @us.theguardian.com is the best. For more in-depth stories, @propublica.org is great.

Yes... I loved the way it was integrated into a residential neighborhood, the cosiness of the stadium, but you had less leg space than on a Ryan Air flight.

I wrote this 1.5 year ago. No illusion that decision makers in Dutch or U.S. media will read it, let alone learn the lessons

Many individual journalists know and sometimes do better, but are overruled by editors or fear unemployment.

What can YOU do? Support liberal democratic media!

"our mission is to serve the American people"

What does that even mean? The pretense of neutrality is so empty and tiring.

Who decides what "to serve" means?

Gorgeous stadium but also the one where I probably had the worst seat ever (I could barely see anything).

These days I regularly ponder my decision not to apply for European jobs I was approached for. 🤔

A shame they have to punch down. It is much more a white than a working class problem. Many white working class people don't support Trump, while many white middle and upper class people do.

Just let this sink in:

A county of almost 10 million people declares a state of emergency because of the behavior of the federal state! 🤯

This will become more and more the reality under Trump 2.0, in which a militarized federal state occupies more and more cities (with often militarized police).

Wat betekent “rechtstaat” voor de gemiddelde respondent? Of het “aanpassen van de rechtstaat”?

In de huidige Nederlandse context gaat het hier voor velen wsl primair over immigratie, waardoor rechts voor en links tegen is.

Afgezien van het kwalijke gebruik van het euphemisme “rechts-conservatief” voor uiterst-rechts, zijn veel vragen veel te abstract om iets zinnigs te kunnen zeggen over de resultaten — om nog te zwijgen over het feit dat ze worden gedecontextualiaeerd.

This does have international ramifications too, as far-right parties abroad can claim that the term is not “extremist” because the U.S. government also uses it.

They haven’t objected to being sent into U.S. cities.

They haven’t objected to extrajudicially killing foreigners abroad.

They haven’t objected to the politicization of the military.

But surely they will object to killing US citizens….

It’s incredible how much attention (1) this tired position gets; and (2) Fukuyama brings to Mounk’s reactionary centrist grift.
