Today I learned that one “benefit” Amazon offers kindle users is that they can read the ur-text of American fascism, Yockey’s Imperium, for free! Thanks Bezos! This reviewer clearly picked up what Yockey was putting down.

Thing is—they don't even have to be good faith members! They just have to believe not appearing that way will be punished!
The real damage of the horde of shameless public liars—& their successful impunity—is annihilating that mutual expectation that conforming to fair rules isn't just for suckers

at the the of the day, you can try to litigate and legislate lying, but you can’t force good faith and no amount of regulating the truth can fix society if its participants aren’t good faith members of the same project
the fact that dealing with rampant lying and its much worse downstream consequences involves cultivating values rather than just imposing formal frameworks or rules (legal or otherwise) is a tough pill to swallow for some. but it is indeed medicine

Senator Kelly & his fellow veterans are American patriots.
Their video simply reiterated the Uniform Code of Military Justice's requirement to only carry out LAWFUL orders.
Not surprising that Secretary Talk Show Host doesn't know that.

93 years ago, Stalin instituted a man-made famine in Ukraine to break its resistance to Soviet occupation, killing millions. Now, Putin’s war and weaponization of hunger once again threaten Ukrainians' survival. We honor the victims of Stalin's famine by supporting Ukraine today.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

I have a language suggestion, which everyone can do, but is primarily for media members who value truth and Democratic politicians:
Instead of asking and adjudicating if an obvious lie is false, make the fact that it's false your premise. "Why are you lying?" instead of "some say that's not true."
