my latest— Trump makes endless empty gestures.

the press shouldn't treat them as news. pressrun.substack.com/p/good-grief-w…
Trump dropped a couple lines in speeches abt supporting idea of planting trillion new trees in 10 yrs

administration has signaled it will do *nothing* to help that cause, yet NYT ran front-page piece painting picture of a Trump being open to persuasion.

why???
instead of news stories abt how Trump is a narcissistic liar, we get stories about how he's reading books about climate change (i can't make that up, folks)

1. thread on GOP working the refs, and the extraordinary damage it does to our democracy when the media get cowed into submission; pressrun.substack.com/p/bullied-why-…
2. Twitter hard at work tying itself in knots, trying to come up with ways to highlight misinformation posted by public figures rather than, y'know, just banning public figures (Trump) who post misinformation.

Twitter literally constructing separate rules for Trump
3. Meanwhile, Facebook continues to relentlessly cave into GOP scare tactics about "liberal media bias," and gives Trump a green light to run a river of digital lies during his re-election campaign.

it's almost hard to describe how hard the DC press crucified Obama during the Ebola scare.

Trump gets a complete pass

whoever the Dem nominee is, the real media danger will be when the DC press starts mainstreaming GOP smear campaigns; @amjoyshow

9. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

The D.C. Dyke March (@dcdykemarch), which claims to be a more "inclusive" alternative to the annual Pride Parade, has *banned* Jewish pride flags. Here are four simple reasons why this is quite obviously anti-Semitic: yair.substack.com/p/four-reasons…
@dcdykemarch "If members of your organization complain about a Jewish pride flag because it looks like an Israeli one, and your response is to expel the Jews with the flag rather than educate your members to tell the difference, you are not an opponent of anti-Semitism, you are an accomplice"
@dcdykemarch 1. The star of David is one of the most recognizable symbols of the Jewish faith, and dates back thousands of years prior to the modern state of Israel. If it makes you feel "threatened," the problem is with you, not the symbol. yair.substack.com/p/four-reasons…

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn If Eric Trump is no longer involved in his charity, why does this golfer—who just played in a benefit for it—call it "the Eric Trump Foundation"? [H/T @npenzenstadler]

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn @npenzenstadler Last night a gala was held to celebrate students who committed to enlist in the U.S. military after graduation. It was held at—

Major General Scott Dingle addressed the recruits.
