As a reminder to everyone, a key part of the Bari Weiss origin story is her livetweeting editorial meetings.
In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.

And the people the Trump administration is killing aboard those boats are civilians.

Because there is no armed conflict and no enemy combatants.

Just lawless, premeditated killing by the U.S. government.

Bari Weiss launched her own path to stardom with the argument "it is oppression to dislike me for being bad" and now we will get to see what an entire media ecosystem built with that philosophy looks like

Again, if the military of a Latin American country acted the way American cops act everyone would think what they were about to do ranged from "a mutiny" to "a coup d'etat"

Bari Weiss as Elon Musk bites into the still beating heart of a critic that he had renditioned for making fun of his hentai addiction:

β€œThe woke left is blood libeling Elon for making advances in health technology”

Bari Weiss is a corrupt idiot whose unique talent is playing Soviet style ideological enforcer for sex creep billionaires who want to inject themselves with the blood of children

Mansions, Horses, and Designer Bags: How the Ruling Family of Iraqi Kurdistan Splurged in the U.S. The five sons of Iraqi Kurdistan’s founding president acquired real estate across the United States and went on luxury shopping sprees. At least some of the money came from major Kurdish…

In the 1980s, Masoud Barzani led Kurdish fighters against Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi government.

Now the Barzanis are at the top of the region’s elite β€” and leaked documents raise questions of possible conflicts of interest regarding their connections to a conglomerate.

In Iraqi Kurdistan, the Golden Eagle Global conglomerate trades in construction and ads, also working with local security forces and the U.S. military.

Leaked docs suggest the company is controlled by Mustafa Barzani, brother of the region’s prime minister.

This story took about two years of work for a team of reporters at the Government Accountability Project and OCCRP. It shows a serious issue with the American corporate system that allows people like the Barzani family to hide money in the United States using American companies

OCCRP repeatedly requested comment from the other four Barzani brothers, both directly and through various lawyers, as well as from Golden Eagle Global and the Kurdish government. None replied.
