Ahahahahahaha. I missed this in our exchange last week.

Let's do a compare-and-contrast, shall we, @caitoz? I'll list the pieces I've done attacking Trump and his followers, and then you can do the same, and we'll stack 'em up, OK?
First, there's this. It's 400 pages long.

Then the piece I cowrote with Sarah Posner for Mother Jones. This, BTW, is known as _investigative journalism_ (the real thing) and took us eight months to assemble.

motherjones.com/politics/2016/…
This is the preliminary piece I wrote for that report.

motherjones.com/politics/2016/…
This was another investigative piece, this time for Reveal News, that was five years in the making.

revealnews.org/article/home-i…
A Vice piece.

vice.com/en_us/article/…
First Trump piece in the Washington Post.

washingtonpost.com/news/postevery…
Second Trump piece in the WaPo.

One for Political Research Associates.

Here's a Baffler piece.

A bunch for @Hatewatch:

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015…
Still during the campaign.

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016…
The most notable campaign piece.

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016…
And then of course after the election, it remained a steady thing.

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
A Muslim ban piece.

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
Stirring up hate right out of the gate.

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
More of the same.

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
And so on.

I even did a piece on my own blog for the benefit of orca advocates. Did @jeffrey_ventre consider this piece "not very bright" too?

Finally, you'll note that these are all legitimate publications with substantial readerships -- not Medium or a website that in recent years is best known for co-publishing propaganda with Russian Insider.
Oh, and here's a sample of how Caitlin "attacks" Trump. In fact, every single one of her pieces on Trump is somehow worked simultaneously into an attack on Democrats. That's how she works this grift.

Big news for my readers: It's with some sadness and some excitement that the new year will bring some career changes for me. I'm leaving the regular employ of @splcenter and joining the staff at @dailykos, where I will become their reporter specializing in extremism.
It's exciting because @markos and his team are gearing up to make @dailykos a major news operation, and it will be great to be part of that. Also, I can do some environmental reporting there!

FWIW, I will continue to write for @splcenter, just not as frequently or regularly.
I've been at @splcenter for over five years now, and am very proud of what we managed to achieve there.

If you'd like a retrospective on my work there, check out the Hatewatch YouTube channel sometime. I created all of these videos. It tells a tale.

There's a big problem with this story: Hillborn simply is wrong about the SRKWs' primary food source. Fraser River Chinook are their primary feed only in summer months.

mynorthwest.com/1217574/expert…
In the non-summer months, multiple studies have demonstrated that SRKWs primarily feed on salmon along the Continental Shelf. The No. 1 source of those salmon is the Columbia. SRKWs have been recorded multiple foraging at the mouth of the Columbia in the winter.
Here's a graphic representation of the data:

Some conniving CIA otters.
They're from the Deep State, no doubt.

There is a possibility of an announcement today. That’s if the collective U.S. government is unable to push back against #Trump - as it did earlier in the year after his comments in #Ohio.

More than anything, this is an extraordinary insult to the recent efforts of Amb. Jeffrey.
#pt: #Trump told #Turkey’s #Erdogan of his intentions by phone on Friday last week.

Coming in the context of Turkish threats to intervene in NE #Syria, the message to the #YPG/#SDF couldn’t be any worse. The US will abandon “the Kurds” again, if #Trump gets his way here.
#pt: Worse still, this’ll be music to the ears of #ISIS, #Assad, #Russia & #Iran.

#Trump isn’t only doing what #Obama did in leaving #Iraq prematurely, he’s doing it in an environment in which #America’s adversaries will benefit: jihadis, #Iran and #Russia.

Unbelievable hubris.

Trump has been lying up a storm this election season. His hard-core supporters don’t care. Even presented with evidence, they insist it is wrong and Trump is right.

huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-t… via @HuffPostPol
Here the five specific falsehoods HuffPost asked dozens of Trump supporters to review at last week's rallies in Fort Myers and Pensacola:
They were chosen -- among the dozens of falsehoods and straight-up lies Trump tells at each rally -- because they are easily disproven and Trump repeats them frequently.

Trump is doing a rally in Georgia. Tweets in this thread. (Only three or four more of these in the next two days, I promise)
Right Side Broadcasting, my favourite Trump-streamer, informs its loyal viewers that the "ultimate dream of any reporter" is to fly on Air Force One, "or at least of this reporter."
Trump dutifully reads his line about how this is one of the most important elections of our lifetimes, then ad-libs, "I wouldn't say it's as important as '16, but it's right up there."

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
