Disagree: we've been in a propaganda war with Russia since 1903 or earlier! That's when the Tsarist bureaucracy began pushing "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" as part of a nation-building propaganda process (going back to the Partition of Poland in the late 18th century).

This shit is OLD.
I will keep saying this until I am blue in the face; we have been in a disinfo/propaganda war with Russia since 2014, & it's one of the few things their military is genuinely excellent at, & we're fucking LOSING

Farage, Trump, Brexit, Transphobia, the rise of the far right - they're pushing it all

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.

This is an important new line being crossed. Trump isn't just pardoning the act of attempting to overthrow the government on January 6: he's pardoning *those people* for committing crimes generally. He may be creating a group of (federally) legally untouchable people.

It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/
