“Less prepared now than in 2020” to counter these threats — not great.

There is a deep lesson here: When you connect people through technology with no filters, you get unfiltered behavior. You didn’t cause the behavior, but, it’s now a blocker for your connecting-humanity project.

The NYT Editorial Board has lost the plot. Free speech has NEVER meant freedom from social consequences. Indeed, shunning IS the use of freedom of speech & freedom of association to counter shameful points of view. How else does the NYT think things work?

This whole story confirms all by suspicions about Elon. He’s a chaos agent. If the Board fired him it would do nothing but good for the company. (It won’t, it’s in his pocket.)

Gosh. Why would GOP election deniers want new laws that will create chaos and court challenges in the upcoming Presidential election? It’s a deep mystery!

‘“When the chairman allowed the distinguished gentlelady from Georgia to attack another members’ eyelashes or her personal appearance, the whole meeting descended at that point,” he said.’

GOP now complaining elbows were thrown when they ruled elbows aren’t fouls. Stop whining.

You know, the media has really failed eveybody when they don’t provide this extremely important context for student debt forgiveness: This is exactly how the law was designed 20 years ago, under Bush.

Research into effective ways to clean indoor air is an excellent outcome and I hope it’s not too late for the next pandemic that also spreads through the air.

Given the incestuous relationship Haberman has with TrumpWorld, you are better off using her as an (unreliable) source of info than as a journalist who summarized information. https://mastodon.social/@emptywheel/112430429959664484

Nothing says “right on the verge of victory” like suddenly firing your defense minister and long time ally.

Again: Zero named witnesses for the existence of a flyer at any time other than during this video from a propaganda organization.

Lots of witnesses say they never saw any flyers there.

Org refuses to bring any witness forward. Republicans in Congress use it as fodder anyway.

Sounds like a familiar playbook, doesn’t it?

“Why asking our media to get it right on Trump’s threat to democracy is not remotely the same as being in the tank for Biden.”

Let’s just see how things are going for Trump’s lawyers today…. Oof. Walked into that one.

What, I cannot emphasize enough, the actual fuck.

Alito's house was flying a "Stop the Steal" upside-down flag between Jan 6 and Biden's inauguration?
