Because they like Trump & prefer having him in power

So they were against the War on Christmas before they were for it?

Well, the alternative was an intelligent, highly-competent, experienced & capable woman of color & there was simply no way white Americans were going to have that…

DON’T. PRINT. LIES. IN. THE. NEWSPAPERS. Every damn day. It’s exhausting.

remember when the democrats decided to tactically stop pointing out that these people are weird freaks no one likes

Just leaving this here for #earlymodern #skystorians

It’s almost as if our elite national media has one standard for straight white men & another standard for everyone else…

Merry Christmas! My state of the field essay on the history of sexuality in Modern France was published in open access yesterday by @frenchhistory.bsky.social. Check it out at academic.oup.com/fh/advance-a...

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”

Law and order!

The link between gluten & Celiac disease was established in the 1950s Renée Richards was playing women’s professional tennis in the 1970s RAIN MAN won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1989 Willful ignorance of the past is the glue that binds modern conservativism together

"“Conservatives would never accept a left-wing government using regulatory favoritism to pressure conservative media,” @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues. Now that this is occurring at CBS, they offer “pointillistic defenses” of Bari Weiss spiking a 60 Minutes story:

As someone who respects Gov. Kotek & wants to retain the governorship, this is an important take. Demotivating your campaign's likeliest supporters by opposing a voter-approved initiative saving families $18k/yr in childcare expenses doesn't improve affordability or help your campaign.

Lie? Pam Bondi’s DOJ?

No one has more contempt for the intelligence of Trump supporters than Trump & the members of his administration

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

Hegseth’s gonna have him shot down & claim he was a narcoterrorist

this is totalitarianism, basically. it’s almost eerie how much this is an open expression of what arendt described as the essence of the totalitarian mindset.

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

But they did their own research

All in the name of “meritocracy,” “academic freedom,” & “debating controversial topics”

Or you might call them "camps" where people are to be "concentrated" until they are deported. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A bit like the conservative majority on SCOTUS

You’re doing a heckuva job, @princetonupress.bsky.social

Unfortunately for all of us, he is supremely up to the task

Red wave pollsters can churn out only so many polls at a time…

@cbsnews : The gaslighting will continue until morale improves

So basically a series of camps where they can concentrate the people their masked agents have rounded up?

“Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to silence its people.” - Donald J. Trump, Jan. 20, 2025

Please read my latest piece in the Atlantic, "The Cowards at the Atlantic Refuse to Publish My Anti-Woke Screeds"

this image is maybe the single greatest joke in TRADING PLACES. and also a pretty apt description of the trump/vance/national conservative vision of america

Seriously, how could anyone possibly believe that the Trump DOJ would be anything less than scrupulous in its adherence to the law?

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump has sued over jokes, tweets, interviews, and news articles but not once over any of the countless accusations of child rape. — That silence says everything.

The real Cancel Culture

Just a reminder that Trump has, on camera, bragged about walking in on Miss Teen USA contestants changing and explained his 17-year-old daughter asked him not to “date” girls younger than her. I’m not sure what’s true in the Epstein Files, but when you recall those facts it all seems plausible

The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

In the early 1970s, Richard Nixon proposed a healthcare plan that would have made universal coverage a reality in this country. Ted Kennedy, in a move that he would later come to regret, killed it b/c he didn’t think it went far enough There’s a lesson in there somewhere, it seems…

If you needed any further proof that the political winds have shifted

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Thank goodness conservatives are bringing hard work, high-standards, serious thinking, free speech, & merit-based grading back to higher education

Gosh, it would be a shame if a President Walz or a President Pritzker decided to use this precedent against red states for harboring and collaborating with seditionists, wouldn’t it?

Well, there was only ever one right they were concerned about…

Evergreen skeet

🧵 This is what Bari Weiss didn’t want you to see b/c @cbsnews.com’s owner didn’t want you to see it b/c why should telling Americans the truth about the Trump regime’s crimes against humanity be allowed to get in the way of a good business deal?

Slabtown, Northwest, Portland, OR #pdx #murals #streetart

Let’s not get overdramatic now, shall we? It’s not like we live in a country where masked government agents routinely snatch people off the street or where the regime’s critics are targeted for prosecution Because that could never, ever happen here

So her decision to spike the 60 Minutes story might not have been made for purely journalistic reasons then?
