OK, just to keep ourselves from going mental today, here’s a thread of whales from around the world.

First, some whale music to play while scrolling.

1) As someone who has spent the past four years covering the spread of white-nationalist violence in America, both at protests and in terrorist acts, the notion that these groups are “illusory” is not just absurd, it’s obscene. Thread follows.
2) Let’s discuss terrorism first, because that in many ways is where white nationalism hits home the hardest. There is no question that during Trump’s tenure, the lid has been taken off and the demons have flown out. Data doesn’t lie. Propagandists do.

3) Claiming the threat of these groups is “illusory,” an “invention,” or “nonexistent” is an obscene insult to the memory of the dozens who have died at their hands, and to the thousands they have traumatized along the way: in Pittsburgh, El Paso, Christchurch, and more.

Yeah, let’s have an open font of dangerous far-right disinformation moderate a presidential debate. That’s the ticket.
I'm sure @ggreenwald would somehow find this not disqualifying, because who cares about spreading volatile extremist garbage when you have a chance to trash traditional journalists, amirite?
Here's more on the 'antifa arsonists':

Lots of folks to acknowledge for their help and advice on this one, as well as providing the groundwork for me to cite. Here's an incomplete list.

@travis_view @Bernstein @katestarbird @PeterRNeumann @STWorg @holden @ashkenaz89 @zeynep @DTAnalytics @safiyanoble
Here are links to buy it online. Of course, I always urge folks to support their local bookstore if they can.

#TodaysBeauty is a J pod orca (pretty sure it's a female, ID coming, hopefully) breaching next to Lime Kiln Lighthouse today. First time we've seen these folks since April. Image
Here's the sequence preceding this shot. ImageImageImageImage
Plus, of course, the coup de grace. ImageImage

@ScottAdamsSays @JoannaPrentice1 1) Authoritarian personalities believe that the entire world is divided into sides -- "my side" (i.e, the people devoted to their leader and/or ideology) and "the other side" -- and that the information/media available to the public is similarly divided.

@ScottAdamsSays @JoannaPrentice1 2) Whole, healthy personalities understand that the world is a complex place, and the media ecosystem reflects that. There are both media entities and individual journalists who can be considered more reliable over time because their work is more accurate.
@ScottAdamsSays @JoannaPrentice1 3) Similarly, there are people and entities that are unreliable and prove to be so over time. Making things even more complex is that even reliable sources can either make mistakes or succumb to ideological inclinations to bias their work and make it unreliable.

1) A thread about Sarah Palin, who in many ways was the key figure in the transformation of the Republican Party into the know-nothing, anti-science, conspiracy-theory-loving, cultishly authoritarian Party of Trump it is today. W/ video.
2) I've been thinking a lot about Palin in no small part because of the way Trump-hating Republicans like @MeghanMcCain are rewriting history by trying to blame Barack Obama for Trump, because apparently _he_, not the GOP, stoked America's culture wars when he was president.
3) Let's be clear: the GOP has been stoking these culture wars as a means of winning election since at least the days of Ronald Reagan and his presidency. But they embraced it openly beginning in 1992 with Pat Buchanan's "cultural war" speech.
