THIS. THIS, THIS, THIS, THISSY THIS. Ultimately, the story here isn't Olivia Nuzzi, but the incredibly insular and dysfunctional Beltway Media cult that shapes so much of our political coverage.
mary angela perna@maryangelaperna.bsky.social · 8mo agoIf you go look at her twitter, nuzzi was (is??) supported by A LOT in the DC press corps We need to have serious conversations about 1/ nuzzi was never, ever a “genius” or “unusually talented writer”, 2/ the DC press corps is highly problematic
I kind of want the next president to bulldoze it and a live camera of his reaction. I want to see his heart break in full fidelity.
Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Ah yes, epistemic humiliation

I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before
I am quoted here so let me be totally clear on my take: Jonathan Greenblatt has made a calculated choice to aid the consolidation of authoritarian power by the MAGA movement in exchange for the suppression of criticism of Israel. And the consequences for American Jews will be devastating.
Noah Shachtman@noahshachtman.bsky.social · last yr.I spoke with 40+ sources for a look inside the Anti-Defamation League. Here’s some of what I found. ADL’s gentle response to Elon Musk’s infamous salute was partially driven by his support of Israel. To ADL, that indicated he didn’t have “antisemitic tendencies.” (1/x) nymag.com/intelligence...
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
ICE took my friend today. Please tell people not to go to their immigration hearings in Austin. They took my friend today.
Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

![From the Holocaust Encyclopedia:
This purge became known as the Night of the Long Knives.
Two months later, the military changed its oath of service. In the new version, soldiers swore "unconditional obedience" to the Führer personally rather than to the German constitution. In 1935, in accordance with Nazi racial law, [the following all highlighted for emphasis] the military prohibited Jews from joining its ranks. Those already serving were dismissed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qnwrertmdznkkexzktkweuvb/bafkreih4pgacwxir3fk43iph5dt7vf63ag3uacs6cxaq3ewfgzjbrgnnle)
Families are always rising and falling in America.
Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social · last yr.The Trump administration has agreed to pay the family of Ashli Babbitt. American taxpayers will now be forced to give likely millions of dollars to the family of a January 6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol.
Ask yourself: Who is the terrorist?
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · last yr.This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case. Story via @wcvb5.bsky.social: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

As context: -Roberts, Kavanaugh, Barrett were all on 2000 Florida Recount team for GWBush -Kav, Gorsuch, Barrett all appointed by Trump -Last Dem prez to appoint a chief justice was Harry Truman 1946 -Most of today's Americans have never lived w/ Dem-appointed Scotus majority. (Changed 1969)
Jonathan Ladd@jonathanmladd.com · last yr.I try to be as clear eyed when thinking about SCOTUS as possible. Avoid wishful thinking. What is actually in evidence? Roberts and Kavanaugh have been strong Trump supporters for several years. Occasionally, they give him a half loaf. But no real difference between them and Senate Republicans.
