If Joe Biden, Barack Obama, or Bill Clinton had openly threatened to seize the territory of our NATO allies, Jake Tapper & every other CNN anchor would do nothing but point out how wildly illegal this is, how massively it endangers US national security, & how it is grounds for immediate impeachment.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

Counterpoint: no, it’s not. Nobody is saying there should be a counter narrative on Stormfront; we just avoid it. Twitter isn’t a public utility, it’s a private website owned by a white supremacist. We don’t owe it anything.
Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.

"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."

"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

Translation from CEO Speak:

"People using a pithy and accurate term makes our very expensive product difficult to sell and we want them to stop. We also don't actually know what this product is supposed to do for people."

(5/X) put her in charge of CBS News and she began censoring stories that were critical of Trump. The guy at the free speech organization said nothing, the guy who organized the Harper's letter said nothing, and her supporters at the Atlantic rallied around her.

Returning to twitter to minister to the hogs and do my part to improve the conversation. Fixing Andrew Tate's heart by talking about the NBA with him. Replying "Are you watching Plurbus" to a Rod Dreher post about demonic possession and kicking off a healing round of good-natured discourse.

Yep. I have a term for it.

Used in this way, "some say" and "critics say" are signals warning us that what comes next is not truth-seeking but refuge-seeking behavior.

"Depends on you ask" operates in similar fashion.
A common dodge here seems to be to use the framing of "some say", which allows you to pretend you are being objective. Even then, the actual correct terminology might not even be used. "Some say prisoners are being interrogated in ways that could be considered unethical."

(1/2) This court is a problem that won't go away. They'll block everything the next Dem president does.

Got to start talking about "court reform" now. "Republicans in robes", "corruption". Not "packing" or "expanding".

Start framing the discussion now.

We know that...

@erikloomis.bsky.social I could tell you this is a great line, but better still my wife could tell you it’s a bullseye.

It’s cold comfort, but this is something I’ve thought often during this horrible period.
Another almost comfort I have is that this ignorant child of privilege wanted nothing more than to be accepted into the ranks of the glamorous elites, but they shunned him for being what he is.

He was married to Marla Maples when he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll. Wonder if he told his wife about that when he got home.
Trump: "Can you imagine a wife not telling a husband who she's voting for? Did you ever hear anything like that? Even if you had a horrible -- if you had a bad relationship, you're gonna tell your husband."

Maybe you’re too proud to rerun your old hits from the other site. But this is one that cannot be allowed to diminish and go into the West.

Thomas Huxley (Darwin's Bulldog) on vax denialists: 140 yrs ago:

Those trying to prevent the use of Pasteur's newly invented rabies vaccine, “hate everything which contributes to prove the value of strictly scientific methods of inquiry in all those questions which affect the welfare of society."
Can’t overstate how dangerous it is that vaccine denial has completely captured one of the two major parties. We’re an election or two from unraveling one of humanity’s greatest achievements. The potential long tail damage is millions of preventable deaths. Just absolutely bonkers.

Trump's decline — in so many ways — is where critics of campaign coverage should focus their blitz from now to election day.
