People make fun of Silicon Valley for just reinventing a bus and calling it Trvlr App but another thing they do is just reinvent eugenics every few months

ok so NYT is just gonna publish this conspiratorial claim without an ounce of skepticism or providing a single shred of evidence. cool. Image
if US intelligence has evidence of Iranian agents posing as students and organizing protests can they... name them? This is a very specific and explosive claim would be nice for anyone, anywhere, to provide any evidence of this
I always knew the extremely low "foreign influence" standard of RT or Press TV simply reporting on things in a tabloid manner, in English, would be used to undermine any and all leftwing protests moving forward but this is a new and extreme claim. proof should be forthcoming, no?

Netanyahu’s been clear for months he will not accept a lasting ceasefire deal. He’s said so dozens of times. Yet Biden keeps faking like this is a thing that could happen without a credible threat of US cutting off aid—which Biden refuses to do. The Trump angle is a non sequitur
More silly WH spin from Ravid, this is his whole beat
Netanyahu won’t accept a lasting ceasefire deal because Biden refuses to use any meaningful leverage (an arms embargo or credible threat thereof) to compel him to do so. Everything short of this is theater. Harris, as far as can be gleaned, has the same policy.

NYT says they’d have withheld anti Trump editorial Sunday if they could have. If the shooter wrote a manifesto citing Paul Krugman and Gail Collins maybe this would be a polite gesture but he was some rw crank, why is liberal media accepting premise they are somehow responsible?
Begging people to get a grip.
There are plenty of psycho killers who cite the NYT to justify their actions, but they are sending weapons to Israel and Saudi Arabia not one off losers shooting at presidential candidates.

There’s a lot of linguistic sleights of hand in media discourse but none more sinister—and successful—than “two state solution.” The gap between what the avg listener imagines this means vs what pundits and lawmakers actually mean is lightyears apart. Not remotely the same thing.
When the average US pundit or lawmaker says they support a “Palestinian state” ask them to define it. What they envision is a completely demilitarized series of Bantustans with no freedom of movement or commerce or unilateral FP, entirely under US-Israeli security architecture
This is not a “state” in any meaningful sense, it is a demand of capitulation and permanent third class status—at best, and this is the liberal position! The idea of genuine independence (even ignoring right of return or anything involving justice) is seen as unthinkable.

My contribution to the “we still have to vote for Biden discourse” is this: I think the popular debate suffers from a flawed premise that this is some abstract trolly problem without political context. 🧵
That Trump “would be worse” is a reasonable position in the abstract ofc but it’s secondary to the CONTEXT of the debate which everyone keeps avoiding but I think it’s the far more interesting and urgent question. What function does the specter of massive vote withholding have?
6 months before the election in Q media influencers and progressive politicians pledging their partisan fidelity serves no functional purpose other than undermining the SINGLE point of leverage powerless angry anti-genocide voters have, which is Team Biden’s fear of losing in Nov

In 2002 Applebaum explicitly argued in favor of killing Palestinian journalists for the crime of making Israel look bad. If she’s going to opine on media and authoritarianism, can any of these high status media commentators ask her if she still believes this? I’d be good to know!

All of these middlebrow “anti authoritarianism” experts make fairly glaring exception for Palestinians and Palestinians lives and I’d like to try and square this circle thanks
