It is the position of the administration that a post saying “Free Palestine” or talking about diversity should ruin your life, but a post calling to hate people from India should not. That’s their moral sensibility. Nazi scum.
He's not a "kid." He's an adult, with an important govt job.
The posts weren't "stupid." They were hatefully racist.
His life isn't "ruined." He lost a job.
Holding a govt employee accountable is not a "reward" for a journalist. The reporter doesn't get a cookie.

Honestly stunned. Addressing this should be the primary focus of the next 2 years. Not only does this likely change the presidential outcome, but imagine the impact on down ballots. Democracy Docket is doing yeoman’s work, but clearly much more is needed.

If the mainstream media wants to become relevant again (particularly broadcast news), they would do well to spend more time deep diving on subjects like this (a John Oliver like approach) then talking to endless panels about the same subjects over and over. Opportunities abound.

You wouldn’t know it, but all of the four following things are true:

I will simply never understand how ANYONE could look at this (which is just one example) and a) not clearly see the gross level of corruption right out in the open and b) ever be ok with it. Our country is literally for sale.

Hey @ericlipton.nytimes.com You might want to actually read the poll before commenting on it. The term “most” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. One of the least popular transitions in recent history.
FYI Bluesky folks. Keep this in mind. CNN "Most Americans approve how Trump is handling his return to the White House" Important to keep perspective. This site is an echo chamber of sorts. Just like Twitter has become. www.cnn.com/2024/12/11/p...
CNN Poll: Most Americans approve how Trump is handling his return to the White House | CNN Politics
Most Americans expect President-elect Donald Trump to do a good job upon his return to the White House next month (54%), and a majority approves of how he’s handling the presidential transition so far...

This is an excellent piece, and the comparison to history should worry us all.
What is even more disconcerting is that despite the inherent rage at income inequality, a billionaire, supported by the richest man in the world, gets elected president. The forward path is dark.

New from me on what the rage and glee on public display after the killing of a healthcare CEO portends.
I suspect the corporate world will respond with more security and retreating even more into their gated lives.
They would be advised to read up on history.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

This is exactly right and these democrats that are wringing their hands about it are ridiculous. Trump has promised to use the DOJ for political retributions and Hunter would clearly have been at the top of his list. Anything to cause the Bidens pain. Those clutching their pearls need to move on.
