Aldri har vi hatt så mye stoff å nå over i en episode av MAGAwatch. Jeg og Vegard snakker om Iran, paven, blasfemi, lego-propaganda og wrestling i ukas MAGAwatch. Og vi forsøker å finne ut om vår MAGA-venn Jason snart har fått nok av kaoset!

The craziest thing happened! Ye just released a new album and took the cover art from a piece me and my friend Peter van Agtmael did for a Norwegian magazine back in 2015. Nope, he didn't ask first.

Maybe the state of protest isn't as bleak as I thought, but it's clear that the nature of protest has to change as Trump ignores First Amendment rights.

Resistance is alive and well in the United States
Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches in 2017, but they're far more numerous and frequent — and also becoming more strategic.

This is terrifying and should be seen alongside the CBS settlement, Gawker, the efforts to overturn Sullivan--billionaires putting their boot on the throat of free speech. This is the actual cancel culture.

the funniest thing about JFK assassination theories is that conspiracists accidentally discovered a seedy nexus of intelligence agencies, organized crime, and political extremists and then judged it irrelevant because it didn't provide proof of what they were originally looking for

This is so so wild. Mercola is the OG of online health misinfo sitting on a $300 mil enterprise. And these tapes where he confers with an alien spirit on every decision from what gasses he inserts into his bum, to firing executives, to feeding his dog his own blood—shows he’s a true believer.

To my delight I just found Vegas on BlueSky. You should definitely follow him and read this article about the ADL. It's enlightening, although unsurprising.

The ADL threw its support behind Trump's arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. I know a little bit about the ADL because I used to work there, so I wrote about the civil rights org that doesn't care about civil rights.

As a professor & a Jew I’m sick to my heart about the attack on Columbia—which is a) escalation of the war on all of higher ed; b) Jew-washing fascism, with the intention of inciting more antisemitism, which in turn will be used as cover for more fascism.

Trump and Musk have been making totally unfounded claims that the gold in Fort Knox is gone, but they should definitely do down and check and spend a long time doing it.
