A reminder: Bari Weiss signed the Harper's Letter.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

The Trump supporter who runs CBS news just killed a story about Trump’s favorite torture prison. Here’s why America has a liberal media bias problem.

In Bari’s defense, she’s a bit distracted because she’s been super busy working on the 5-night, 10-hour blockbuster expose on the Twitter files that will air in prime time next week.

Are we sure this isn’t just a recognition of the deep historical ties between Louisiana and Greenland, i.e. “the special relationship?”

Wait for the perfect, chef’s kiss at the end of the clip. Something undeniable about it.

JD Vance cozying up to the sort of white supremacists who would consider his wife and children insufficiently white (and hence American) is pretty bleak, and says a lot about his character.

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

The term "heritage American" being bandied about is irritating b/c of its imprecision. Is it based on length of time in the US of your ancestors, being from England, whiteness, legal citizenship, or some other unspoken category? Because the migration trends in the colonial period & early republic 1/

Candace Owens held up an English translation of August Rohling’s „der Talmudjude“ and repeated its antisemitic lies to her millions of listeners in her attack on Ben Shapiro. Rohling was a notorious Catholic antisemite who spewed vile lies and about Jews and the Talmud. This is incredibly dangerous.

"We envision a resistance that is...a repudiation of the efficiencies that automated algorithmic education falsely promises: a resistance comprising the collective force of small acts of friction." "How to Resist AI in Education" by me & @cnygren.bsky.social www.publicbooks.org/four-frictio...

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.

I dug around a bit on the website that sells the edition of the „Talmudic Jew“ that Owens was waving around. Immediately found Holocaust denial. This is Neo Nazi shit. bsky.app/profile/arde...

Shaedon Sharpe.

Ben Shapiro is used to being around conservatives who make tasteless jokes about Jews, & assuming that’s as deep as the antisemitism goes. These deep cut tropes coming into wider circulation on the right now are the sorts of things people say who have had conversations about murdering lots of Jews.

One hot topic of debate at TPUSA this weekend has been the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967. If you’re like most normal Americans, you’ve probably never heard of this event. If you are or have ever been a neo-Nazi, then this is an event you know A WHOLE LOT about.

I had not been notified that we've reached the stage of history where the fascists don't have to be caught by surprise by a punch, but rather just walk right into a ring and volunteer themselves to be punched.

WELCOME TO MY TEDDY TALK! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTTER!

One way I tried to find some escape this year from the everloving horror of current events was by listening to as much new music as I could. Here are 129 songs I really liked, in case you're in the market for some new music to listen to. open.spotify.com/playlist/6u7...

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

Weird how this keeps happening.

This is the only content the nation needs to celebrate the semiquincentennial in style.

Gonna create a three-paneled medieval painting about syphilis just so I can make a “trypdych” joke.

“Why did homes get so unaffordable? Because we had 20 million illegal aliens in this country taking homes that ought by right to go to American citizens.” -- JD Vance, 12/2/25

Here's a 1941 letter that a "heritage American" named Grace Wick wrote to FDR complaining about the "alien, Jewish refugees" flooding into the country and replacing "native stock" Americans like her. She says FDR is inviting a Hitler to emerge in America to deal with this problem!

Question: When the head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights division tweets out a false statement about an individual that results in them being barraged with death threats based on their religion and ethnicity, which governmental agency would look into whether that student’s Civil Rights had been infringed?

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

Proud Boy leader, J6 organizer, and recipient of Trump pardon Enrique Tarrio has been a bit more active on social media lately. Today he is promoting a woman who organized a Mein Kampf reading group and proudly identifies as a "white power" advocate of the US being a White Christian "ethnostate."

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

There's a powerful illustration here regarding "influencers" vs. "experts".

A right wing group called “Defending Education” filed a suit claiming that Portland Public Schools’ Center for Black Student Excellence is in violation of the Civil Rights Act, presumably because it infringes upon the rights of white people?

The conservative movement seems to be trying to chart a course between Ben Shapiro on its far left edge and Hitler-loving Nick Fuentes on its right edge, and let’s just say the Shapiro faction seems to not be doing so great. I can’t believe these freaks are making me root for Ben Shapiro.

As everyone knows, JFK always preferred to be called THE John F. Kennedy...just like Ohio State.

Very cool!

Back when I was writing regularly about baseball, circa 2012, I crunched the numbers & the likelihood of becoming a tenure-track professor in one of the MLA disciplines was almost precisely the same as getting from a college baseball team to a MLB roster. Nothing has gotten easier since then.

Not that it will but the willingness of Americans to obey is a very funny contrast with our self-image and should probably prompt some reflection bsky.app/profile/jonf...

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

“The government of the USA is controlled by a mob led by the criminally insane and the pathologically unscrupulous…Trumpism represents the fusion of the organs of propaganda and governance….[like] the totalitarian nightmares of the past century.” open.substack.com/pub/johnganz...

Excited to have contributed to this anthology on Christian nationalism. I wrote about new trends in antisemitism amongst (white) Christian nationalists, which has both mutated and accelerated the past half decade.

Them: "You spend your whole day scrolling" Me: "It's my job. I'm a writer. Ideas are everywhere and I've curated my feed in order to find inspiration." My feed:

I always knew that it inspired a new wave of the KKK, but it was only recently that I learned that was a literal, not figurative, description of what happened. A bunch of guys saw the movie and were like "oh, dope let's do this and turn it into an MLM" and then did it.

A significant portion of content these like-minded billionaires pump into the ether is about how George Soros, college professors, public school teachers, and journalists are supposedly colluding to brainwash you.

I am taking the opportunity to once again remind you of the time Naomi Wolf thought Apple invented time machines run by vaccines

It’s almost as if the Trump administration has an overt, blatant racist agenda

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

one thing that is important to know is that BIRTH OF A NATION is so racist that people at the *time*, in 1915, were like, “holy shit this is racist”

For the rare jobs that do exist, faculty get to vote on who to hire. Many have an unofficial “no assholes” rule, which makes the working environment so much more pleasant for everyone. If you’re a grievance-obsessed weirdo, and there are 10 equally-qualified normal people, the decision is easier.

Surely TPUSA will be issuing an apology from the stage of their big conference for the fact that one of their top leaders circulated false information about the Brown shooter, right?
