The US far right wants to be able to say whatever it wants online - without any checking and certainly without any legal control at all - but it also wants to check the social media and speech of everyone else for what it deems as unacceptable.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

Welcome to an “I totally planned that!” edition of the MAGA Minute!

Today Trump announces that the only reason unemployment is high is because people are out of work.
