@jjsmart.bsky.social YouTube really needs to clean up their act. Look at the header ad they serve *above* your profile when I search for “Jason Jay Smart” — a promo for a paid Russian propagandist, Tim Pool.

Obviously they’re cowards—not the issue
It’s the reliance on the same vapid reasoning as Qanon to make its point
“You can’t spell __ without __” is the same anagram-parsing drivel that drives MAGA conspiracism
Won’t win any hearts or minds—what is does do: frame Trump’s opposition as meaningless

@briantylercohen.bsky.social Would you PLEASE stop using deceptive clickbait thumbnails?
Obama is nowhere in this vid—using his image + a title quotation *he did not say* is intentionally misleading; it’s destructive to your own brand & to Dem credibility
For all our sakes—do better—BE MORE HONEST

Every time Jon Stewart takes a crack at bothsideism it’s a swing-&-a-miss
It’s as if he doesn’t have the capacity to recognize the gross hypocrisy in his own rhetoric…even while critiquing the gross hypocrisy of MAGA Rs’ rhetoric —and Dems who do nothing to counter MAGA Rs’ rhetoric or their agenda

Alaska is beautiful. A lot of gorgeous mountains and wild places among the Rocky Mountains too.
It makes me incredibly sad & angry that the current regime has made the US so unsafe for tourism and travel.

There are an endless number of *valid* criticisms to make about the cult of MAGA…but this is not one of them
This kind of vapid anagram connection-drawing is no better than Qanon faff
Sharing it as though it were meaningful is not helping—it cheapens all the valid criticisms that need to be made

The Trump regime literally proposed sending Native Americans to Guantanamo during the birthright citizenship legal battle
Trump lawyers argued that Native Americans weren’t US citizens bc they were nationals of other (Native, eg Navajo) nations “outside US jurisdiction, not subject to its laws” 🥴

It’s amazing how much like Trevor Slattery—an alcoholic live performer *playing* The Mandarin in Iron Man—is to Hegseth: an alcoholic live performer *playing* SecDef in Project 2025.
Both stumbling around blearily adjacent to “a custom-made terror [insurrection] threat” as the central plot device.
