The idea that these two traumatized peoples, one of which spent two full years grinding through the other as if with a meat grinder, have any kind of normal to ~return to~ is psychotic. The idea that *more* oppression & dehumanization of the Palestinians is what will bring actual peace is doubly so.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

And critiquing someone's *art* is not tearing down a person.

But, whatever. Everybody who opposes Trump will just have to weather this bullshit.
Everybody who pushed Democrats to be more aggressive after the insurrection was right. Listen to them next time (if there is a next time).

It cannot be made clearer.
If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.
Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, andโI would hopeโstill see that itโs incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

The notion that Bari will be "running CBS News" is slightly misleading. What the reporting suggests is that Tom Cibrowski, a guy with normal qualifications, will be doing that. Bari will be Emperor Ellison's Vader-esque enforcer, outside the chain of command, intervening at will.
