Unbelievably inhumane conditions. No wonder the Trump administration didn't want Americans to see this reporting. Must watch.

Bari Weiss, outspoken opponent of antisemitism, spiked a story about concentration camps.

How could she possibly do so?

Because her construct is built around self-interested tribalism. Where the goal isn’t to end concentration camps: it’s to ensure you aren’t in one. And if necessary, to run them.

Exactly this: the administration’s concentration camps should be a howling, daily outrage, a scandal of historic proportions.

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant

“we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

Showing highlights of paragraphs 202 through 206 in a doc with 203-205 blacked out. Text in next image 202. Defendants also actively obstructed law enforcement by denying investigators access to Little St. James beyond its boat dock. 203. Defendants also attempted to conceal their criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct by paying large sums of money to participant-witnesses, including by paying for their attorneys’ fees and case costs in litigation related to this conduct. 204. Epstein also threatened harm to victims and helped release damaging stories about them to damage their credibility when they tried to go public with their stories of being trafficked and sexually abused. 205. Epstein also instructed one or more Epstein Enterprise participant-witnesses to destroy evidence relevant to ongoing court proceedings involving Defendants’ criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct. 206. Defendants also concealed their fraud on the Government in obtaining unearned tax benefits by providing false testimony and submitting false and inaccurate reporting to the Economic Development Commission to prevent detection of Defendant Southern Trust Company’s non-compliance with requirements concerning the nature of its business and the residency of the persons it employed.

What we have here is a top editor spiking a story not because of serious editorial concerns, but because:

1) she is insecure and needs to assert authority;

2) she wants to drive serious journalists out of CBS; and

3) she craves attention, which is her oxygen.

Especially number 3

Bari Weiss, cont'd: "I held that story because it wasn't ready. The story presented very powerful testimony of abuse in CECOT, but that testimony has already been reported... The public knows that Venezuelans have been subjected to horrific treatment in this prison... we simply need to do more."

A fantastic NYT report: Donors to Trump get pardons, jobs, & access - and benefited from regulatory decisions the Trump admin has made.

SUPER timely as SCOTUS is about to kill agency independence & give POTUS more control over agencies (likely to donors' benefit)

Bari Weiss is not and never has been a journalist. She is and always has been a propagandist.

Her being a lesbian is sometimes read as giving her a liberal valence, but she is and always has been illiberal.

When we said that conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism would fuel antisemitism this is exactly what we meant. I hope Ben can't sleep.
Former White House strategist Steve Bannon called Shapiro “a cancer” who cared only about Israel, and suggested he was “envious” of Charlie. Owens, who did not attend the conference, baselessly suggested on X that Shapiro’s speech proved Israel’s involvement in Charlie’s death. She called Shapiro a “worm,” a “miserable imp” and a “belly creature.”

The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
When the 18th-century writer Samuel Johnson asked why “we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes,” he was identifying no mere contradiction, but liberty as it was imagined by men who owned other human beings as property. Slaveholders such as John Calhoun saw slavery as inseparable from their own freedom, and they worried that the false doctrine of abolitionism would eliminate that freedom away. “Already it has taken possession of the pulpit, of the schools, and, to a considerable extent, of the press; those great instruments by which the mind of the rising generation will be formed,” Calhoun said. (It seems the “woke mind virus” was telling lies about the great and benevolent institution of American slavery as far back as two centuries ago.) Defending slavery, however, required invasive uses of power, such as banning antislavery literature and returning escaped Black people to bondage. Many white Americans in the 19th century began to understand that the “Slave Power” curtailed their freedoms as well. And this is what many people forget: Systems of domination rarely spread their blessings widely. The Redemption-era revocation of Black freedoms didn’t result in prosperity for white people writ large, but a Gilded Age in which the upper classes gained unfathomable wealth and economic crises left millions destitute. The nation may have held on to white supremacy, but it also got low wages, a threadbare welfare state, and a society dominated by the rich. Everyone else was too divided by race and class to challenge them.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

The National Socialist Network have chosen Sydney for their yearly "Nationals" gathering on 24-26 January. Antifascists, unionists, community groups, activist groups and all concerned members of the public should be aware that upwards of 200 neo-Nazis and their supporters are intending to turn up in Sydney between January 24-26, including the racist "March for Australia" rally on January 26. You can't let this go unchallenged in your city. Groups should begin organising, coordinating together, and making plans for supporting the Invasion Day rally and Yabun festival if they haven't already. Keep an eye on the Anti-Fascist Alerts Sydney channel https://t.me/antifaalertssydney for further information over the coming weeks, and follow The Blak Caucus on social media for updates on the Invasion Day rally.
