A vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a vote for Trump. It truly is as simple as that.

Don't let anyone gaslight you on this.

You have every right to use your vote as you wish. Just don't be a fucking coward and deny the effects it will have.

Heck, you can support n*zis and claim you interpret it as an artistic act in favor of German culture. But everyone will still know exactly what you are.

Unless you're moving abroad, you don't get to opt out of the next administration. I hope you enjoy the one we get.

And if Trump gets elected, I hope you really enjoy that feeling of purity as that bastard Netanyahu feels like he has even fewer restraints.

Probably no news organization has more resources to do its job right than the New York Times.

The Times (and other orgs for that matter) should have a standing policy to flag ANY story mentioning serial troll Rufo -- before it's published -- and either remove his tendentious BS or provide context for his trolling.

I'm talking here about the sleazy story the Times published about NPR's CEO (a friend), which did neither.

It's plain old journalistic malpractice. And it's common.

Their actions make a whole lot more sense if you think of "trigger the libs" as one of their goals.

really upsetting to see former Wikimedia Foundation director and CEO Katherine Maher getting targeted by the rightwing outrage machine in her new role as NPR CEO. she's wonderful, and NPR is lucky to have her. i hope they stand behind her.

As someone who covers manufactured outrage campaigns for a living, journalists desperately need to learn how to properly cover these campaigns.

These grafs in NYT don’t give nearly enough context to who Chris Rufo is, or his agenda/track record. Quoting ppl like Rufo as neutral/honest actors is a huge mistake not only bc it launders their abusive, ideologically driven campaigns to mainstream liberals, but also bc it leaves readers less informed abt the motivations behind these attacks.

I have parted ways with the New York Times, quite some time ago.

People should go read the Dan Froomkin @froomkin story about Sulzberger's recent speech, where he basically says that their policy is "trigger the libs, but call it 'Independent journalism'".

Prosecutor: Michael Cohen accepted responsibility. So we should be allowed to bring that out on direct and that he lied on Defendant's behest. That changed, when Michael Cohen decided to accept responsibility. So evidence about the plea is essential

I always say that perjury is effectively legal, because no-one ever gets prosecuted for it.

Well, looks like I'm wrong. I look forward to being even more wrong about that in the future.

He is utterly wrong. But I stopped bothering to correct NPR misconceptions a while back, so I'm not going to go into to much detail, but in brief: He lost the fight against ignorance and fear. It sucks, but he shouldn't get confused about it.

Real talk time:

"Just asking questions" is a weapon. We know full-well that some people exploit it to feign innocence when deliberately throwing noise into discussions. And it works in large part because it encourages otherwise earnest discussions which then contribute to the noise.

So be careful.
