Kyle Kulinski Is Offering Clarity for the Left (INTERVIEW)
Despite the global ascendancy of the right, the political firebrand is as clear-eyed about the vision for the U.S. and the role the left must play is getting us there.
lthomas.substack.com
My full interview with @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social is available now over on Substack.
We talk:
- "Rogan of the left"
- Vote blue no matter who
- Matt Yglesias and centrism
- Issues with Abundance
- Current immigration crackdown
And much more.

Maybe you good folks can help me.
I’ve cancelled my subs to WaPo and NYT (Gaza coverage, oligarch takeover, etc). I subscribe to many Substacks and indie media outlets, but I don’t really have a place to go for what we would consider traditional news reporting.
Is there a solution to this?

These mf'ers will say this and then without a shred of irony claim the left has gotten extreme and the right has stayed the same.
Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis on Nick Fuentes running for president one day.
Rogan: “He could probably win in a few years. Listen, he couldn’t have existed before, right? Ten, twenty years ago, couldn’t have existed. Now, super popular. What’s twenty years from now look like?”

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

It’s also really incredible we used to have guys like this and Jordan Breen in MMA media. We are in a very different position today.
NEW: @patrickwyman.bsky.social has a history podcast not on great leaders, but more common folk. The theme for this season? World slavery:
“Power is inseparable from labor. Power is inseparable from work. Slavery, studying it, what it tells us, is just how inseparable those two things are.”

Buried under 12 paragraphs and 4 ads is this: that an investigation into the politicization of data was conducted not by … actually reviewing any data … but just by interviewing senior officials who disliked their chief.
So more politics.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Israel has killed 249 journalists in the last 2 years.
That's more than were killed in WWII & the Vietnam War put together.
A Vermonter, Dylan Collins, was wounded in one of these attacks, which killed another reporter. This war against journalists must be investigated & ended.

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.
🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

Not even rich people, necessarily! You can take out a loan to pay for this!
An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

Amazing what job opportunities are afforded to you in modern media when you're willing to dehumanize Palestinian life and denigrate writers (Ta-Nehisi Coates) who author works underscoring their needs.
Tony Dokoupil has been named anchor of “CBS Evening News,” one of the most prominent jobs in television journalism.
His promotion is the highest-profile personnel decision CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss has made since she was named to that position.

Max Kellerman once called LeBron James a "sellout" because James criticized Daryl Morey after Morey tweeted in support of Hong Kong protestors in 2019. I don't know who the real Kellerman is, but the idea the guy tap dancing for theocratic monarchies is the same guy from 2019 seems wrong.
Low key, Max Kellerman has always been a bit of a groupie. He's tried to sell himself as a truth teller but like a lot of people he's addicted to money and visibility. Getting in bed with the Saudis or Rich Paul it's all the same
