I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'
Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

On the year anniversary week of Trump in office for a second time, we seem to have literal death squads patrolling the streets of Democratic-run cities.
But sure it was all Trump Derangement Syndrome when some of us were warning about the impending fascism back in 2024. 🤷🏽♂️😡

Bari Weiss, apparently, is pursuing the “de-Baathification of CBS.”
The New Yorker is out with a profile of Bari Weiss. There's a notable quote attributed to "sources close to Weiss and Ellison" saying "readily realizes and admits that she was not as knowledgeable as she should have been about the timing of the marketing and promo process at '60 Minutes.'"
Inside Bari Weiss’s Hostile Takeover of CBS News
The network’s new editor-in-chief has championed a press free from élite bias, while aligning herself with a billionaire class more willing than ever to indulge Donald Trump.
