In this News Brief, "Elite Media, Dems Blame 'Woke', 'Headwinds'––Everyone But Themselves––for Trump Win," we break down the usual scapegoats for party, pundit and press failures to stem the tide of ascendant fascism. soundcloud.com/citationsneede…

The House is set 2 vote on a bill that would allow the Trump admin 2 designate US non-profits, like universities, as "terrorist support orgs" if they, say, support pro-Palestine students protesting genocide. This bill is terrifying & must be stopped /n. theintercept.com/2024/11/10/tru… /1

I'm struck by the criticism that progressivism is to blame for Harris' loss.. As someone who covered the Harris campaign day in and day out for months, she was not running as a progressive, not on immigration, not on climate, etc. She ran as a centrist, consensus driven…

If the “liberal international order” is violated all the time to arm dictators and kill poor people in the way of US imperial preferences then it, by definition, is not an order, it’s Might Makes Right caprice. Then—one is compelled to ask—what use is there calling it an “order”?

since blame-shifting party and media elites doing this again I'll just repost this

I wrote about the latest scapegoat for Trump's win: "identity politics" & its close cousin "political correctness" fair.org/home/lashing-o…

Yep, time to break from the left. Next time, Dems should try saying they'll do more to crack down on immigration than Republicans. Instead of "Defund the Police," run a prosecutor. Talk about having a gun and wanting a strong military instead of your identity. Just some ideas.

Louise Jordan on MSNBC: “The progressive era has to end if Democrats want to win again.”

In a crisis of legitimacy like the one we are living in, pro-establishment forces don't usually gain back the political momentum. Whoever holds the momentum will be the driver of history for the next decade(s).

Honestly, do these people not have any filters? One of them even runs a magazine named after a socialist trade-unionist immigrant woman.

Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

"I’m painfully aware that every time I talk about our shortcomings when covering Palestine...I lose 'credibility.' I silently agreed not to talk about Palestine in exchange for a 'viable' career in journalism. No longer." My @TorontoStar op-ed today: thestar.com/news/insight/t…

In Ep 211, "Bari Weiss, The 'University' of Austin and the Silicon Valley-Funded Faux-Iconoclast Media Industry," we detail the rise of Bari Weiss and examine the seemingly pathological need for rightwingers to not be labeled rightwingers. w/ @kath_krueger soundcloud.com/citationsneede…
