An important piece from @edwardluce.bsky.social. It speaks a truth many both-sidesers in the media have actively obscured. The anti-semitism in America comes from the right and it is getting worse and it has high-level MAGA sponsorship. We need to see it and reject it.

Delivering on transparency....Trump's a vandal, a cheat, a conman and a thug and it's all manifested in his aesthetic taste.

The Kim Kardashian test is whether her spiel about a fake moon landing should be taken at moronic face value or whether it's an ingenius brand refresh strategy that works. For the sake of our species, I hope it's the first.
