emanuel is a perfect example of the media trying to create its own reality. he has no organic constituency and his mayoralty ended in scandal and failure. but pundits love him so now we get one million articles insisting against all real evidence that he's actually a huge player
the rare trump story i 100 percent believe. we can’t say we weren’t warned.

not hyperbole to say that there is NO BETTER INTERNSHIP IN ALL OF MEDIA. don't believe me? apply and see for yourself!
A gay survivor of a Christian cult finds new purpose in LGBT activism and attends Columbia University with the aim of becoming a journalist, only to find himself in a new cult devoted to “queerness,” anti-Zionism and anti-Western radicalism.
the fact that this is the person the atlantic is turning to for thoughts on trans people tells you everything you already knew about the atlantic www.simonandschuster.com/books/Cis-Wh...

can't be stated more clearly: "well israel wanted to bomb somewhere so what other choice did we have but to go to war" is the official policy of the us government
The stakes could not be higher. The US-Israeli war on Iran is catastrophic—and rapidly expanding across the region. Yet Democratic leaders are failing to muster a clear, anti-war response. Instead it's sleepy, feigned opposition after the deed is done. By me and @ahjohnson.bsky.social
trump said he would never get "bored" of attacking iran, 30 seconds later he is talking about the nice drapes at the white house

personally i think it's bad to live in a world where one country can just randomly murder the leader of another country based on false pretexts and with no legal authority of any kind and get away with it
We should be furious to live in a country that does this—to be at the mercy of a flailing empire that always chooses death and conquest over peace and justice. We should be furious at a political system that makes it so much easier to kill people than to help them. We should be furious at an establishment that lusts so ardently for war, and that has so much contempt for humanity. We should be furious at the untrammeled power of a global ruling class that causes so much suffering. And we should recommit to the most important task ahead: destroying as much of that power as we can.

please don't call this weakness or cowardice or whatever. schumer supports the war and wanted more cover than he got.
that's why dwelling on process stuff is ultimately a dead end: because even if every form was filled out correctly, this would still be an abomination.
this isn't a distraction from epstein class pedophilia it's an expression of the epstein class worldview

Nobody wants this war except for the psychos in DC and Jerusalem and their clients in the murder industry. People know that a war with Iran is an act of total insanity by a ruling class that will destroy us all.

weird, carney's new world order looks a lot like the old one
Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:
in retrospect making it exponentially easier for the government to kill people than to help people was a slight design flaw of american politics
announcing an illegal imperialist war while wearing a dumb hat that makes you look like you got punched in both eyes — truly what better symbol could there be of the dying empire
this is hardly the most important thing but there is something extra-galling about him wearing that stupid baseball cap while doing this. these are not serious people

at the end of the day the problem is not really "oh no bari weiss is going to run cnn," though she shouldn't be running cnn, or anything else. it's "10 people and 5 companies are allowed to control most of what we see read and hear." the system is the problem. that's true whoever owns cnn.
