One cool thing is how, within 6 months of Trump becoming President, DC & Maryland sued because he was obviously breaching the Constitution and then the federal courts sandbagged the case for four years then dismissed it as moot when he left office.

House Oversight Dems just reported, based on *partial* records, Trump accepted at least $7.8 million in foreign government payments while President.

The ADL is a sad cautionary tale about where a virtuous mission will take you when it becomes monomania.

I really, really hope they get their heads out of their asses — or that a more circumspect organization picks up their original missing of fighting actual antisemitism. Because we urgently need people doing that right now, and the ADL ain’t it.

One day after Elon Musk agrees with a great replacement Jews "hatred against whites" tweet, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League thanks Elon for his "leadership in fighting hate" because he's suspending X users who post the phrases "decolonization" or "from the river to the sea"

I signed this, along with more than 160 Jewish leaders calling on #apple #disney #google & #amazon to stop doing business on Twitter. I encourage others to leave that platform & stop giving Musk any legitimacy by your presence. #antisemitism https://www.xouthate.org/

not funny reminder: the magats want to crash the economy assuming quite possibly correctly that low-info reactionary americans will do the usual dumbassery of voting for whoever isn’t in power, flicking the switch back and forth and ignoring what that actually does

Sure, he’s a rapist and a fraud. But let’s not forget about the years of money-laundering for the Russian mob. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/deutsche-bank-employees-reportedly-flagged-suspicious-transactions-involving-trump-kushner-n1007501

I dunno. I just keep coming back to these words...

"If you’re still on Twitter/X does that mean you’re a fascist?
No, of course not.
It just means fascism isn’t a deal breaker for you."
@aral

@dangillmor
Absolutely right. Some excuses for giving money to Nazis are less awful than others, but they are all awful. Nobody is innocent; we have all seen this movie before, in what is still living memory for some people.

This is exactly what social media would have looked like in 1930s Germany. Twitter is an overtly Nazi platform run by an open Nazi for the purposes of promoting fascism and doxxing, suppressing, and terrorizing those who fight for freedom.

New Yorker review of Musk hagiography says Twitter "has American journalism in a choke hold."

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/09/18/elon-musk-walter-isaacson-book-review

Journalists are choking themselves. It is their decision. Musk must chortle every day as he watches journalists bend over to support his business.

They could leave, and take their audiences with them, if they wanted to. They don't.

They're doing this to themselves. Inertia, amoral calculation, and timidity are weapons of self-destruction.
