The problem is, everyone I’ve spoken to in MAGAworld content creation — comms staff, influencers, whomever — knows their identity. In off-the-record conversations, people will simply tell me their name as soon as I ask the question, as they’re familiar with the memelord’s style from interactions in the disappearing MAGA group chats. (I do have to pause for a second and acknowledge that the meme zoomers have better opsec than the senior officials who did Signalgate a year ago.) But the moment I ask if they’d be willing to go on background about it — surely they aren’t Nazis, and shouldn’t they call out behavior in their own ranks? — sources immediately clam up. If I prod, they’ll shrug it off as everyone’s just having fun.

So @tinanguyen.bsky.social has spent weeks trying to identify the person at DHS who posts all the racist memes, and instead uncovered a fascinating code of silence: everyone in Trump's Washington knows who it is, but refuses to say. Gift link! -> www.theverge.com/column/89298...

…this opening line is wildly untrue, although it is true that they've gotten less *attention,* which may be why they aren't *known* for discussing their faith.

To name a few:

· Pete Buttigieg
· Chris Coons (who NYTimes quotes after this)
· Elizabeth Warren
· Sarah McBride

It started a month before that bc of Trump’s tariff reversals

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

If Dems had their own Fox News and other cogs of a propaganda machine, Andrew Paul Johnson would become a household name a la Willie Horton.

I was about to say he must not have been around high school sports bc nothing Platner wrote should be surprising, then I just read Hanania went to a residential treatment program for troubled teens so I guess he definitely wouldn’t be familiar

There was no prospect or movement to do anything like that in Virginia though

They don’t point to any examples of schools teaching it was peaceful

Seems like he said this well before they got married

There is great value in verifying images and videos during wartime, it’s good they have a team of analysts to investigate incidents one party denies or is silent on.

I don’t understand the emotional attachment to someone they never heard of 6 months ago

Scroll up to the thread you joined in and the point you’re defending that you wrote I was missing

Th Capitol Police did not go easy on Jan 6 protesters and willingly suffer death and injury out of ideological sympathy.

What were they in thanks for

The cops did use guns last time. Ashli Babbit was breaking through a door and was shot and killed.

many such cases

“I didn't say he stole profits.”

He was at Facebook until 2008. Do you think Facebook was profitable in 2008?

Which company’s employees are you asserting he stole profits from

Besides a handful of podcasters where is the evidence MAGA is upset with Trump? How many times do we have to wishcast a break with his base

How specifically did Moscovitz steal from the working class

Actually Ross and Matt are great

Yes they are idiots

Ironic that the first two were cheered on by the author of “How to Fight Antisemitism”

wasn’t he cheating on his wife

Also this war is 10/7 blowback

Quoting someone else’s post of a screenshot of a criticism of you and saying “what is happening” is not “attacking a trans woman”. You are certifiable.
