Oh, look, I wrote this two months ago.

Prominent far-right influencers have been attempting to rehabilitate Hitler's reputation. That's not an exaggeration; it's easily documented. I wrote about why they are doing this, what they hope to gain, and what it means for America.

"You will never stop meeting your child. That is one reason to become a parent: To have a child is to fall in love with a thousand beautiful strangers." - @dkthomp.bsky.social, "On Being a Dad"

"Believing that Trump was somehow a 'peace president' devoted to American restraint, as some credulous commentators claimed, required ignoring everything he’d said before he was president and everything he’d done after he became president."

ME IN JANUARY: Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon are not pro-Trump, do not represent him or his base, and are in fact seeking to supplant him and reshape the party in their own image. TRUMP TODAY: "Tucker Carlson has lost his way" and "he's not MAGA." Maybe now the rest of the discourse can catch up!

@joshuaholland.bsky.social It's a thread! bsky.app/profile/yair...

Every single time: 1. Trump does something hawkish on foreign affairs 2. Breathless stories are written about MAGA being mad and schisming, quoting the same three people (Tucker, Bannon, Greene) 3. Polls show that MAGA Republicans support Trump's move 160%-3%

The Trump administration's shifting justifications for war are a smoke screen that obscures the obvious. "The real impetus for such action was Trump’s imperial approach to American power, which was decades in the making." Gift link:

Was away for a bit, see that some on here decided to outrage farm about a tweet I didn't write for an article of mine they didn't read or link. Since that seems to be the preferred mode of consumption, here are a few other headlines! Always do the reading; don't let the engagement farmers con you.

This is endemic to social media and makes having thoughtful, effective conversations on here very difficult. You should follow people who respect you enough to tell you the truth, rather than those who think truth is unimportant and pursue other personal and political agendas.
