In the past year, Tucker Carlson: 1) repeatedly urged a pardon of Julian Assange, 2) condemned bipartisan scheme for the US to interfere in Cuba and is now 3) emphatically opposing US involvement in a war in Ukraine.

Call him whatever names you want. Nobody on NBC/CNN does that.
The left bona fides of @aaronjmate are clear: worked for years at @DemocracyNow, pro-Bernie, etc. Watch the hearing he got last night on Tucker, warning of DC's bipartisan fixation on conflict with Russia: unthinkable on a liberal corporate news outlet:

If you don't see the fact that neocons are all migrating back to the Democratic Party because the GOP is home to ample anti-imperialist and anti-militarist sentiment -- while Dems are united in support of it -- it's only because you don't want to see it:

That's why I didn't get an answer to this and never will. There is no answer.

Just as she was one of the few Dems to oppose a new War on Terror for 1/6, and just as she was one of only 3 Dems to join the GOP in voting NO on $2b more for the Capitol Police, @IlhanMN did this week say similar things on Ukraine as Tucker & Rep. Massie

He got $100 million because he built a gigantic audience of ideologically diverse young people -- exactly the audience Spotify and most other companies want most -- and nobody comes close to his ability to inspire trust among that group. He doesn't map onto partisans' brains:
It's crucial that we judge people's use of the N-world not as absolute proof that they're racist, but through the context in which it was used -- if they're liberals in good standing:

This is about 1,000 times more virulent than anything Rogan has dreamed of doing but Howard Stern is now a liberal in good standing -- adores Hillary and Maddow, hates Trump, spouts every DNC piety -- so it's fine. Hillary went on his show, oozed praise:

Number of U.S. COVID deaths under Trump (with no vaccine, few treatments, and a more deadly variant):

396,837

Number of U.S. COVID deaths under Biden (with universally available vaccine, better treatments, and a less deadly variant):

528,379

covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
(Note: this covers 10 months for Trump and a year for Biden, though the Biden-era death count was also higher after 10 months).

Of course none of this Biden's fault, while all 2020 COVID deaths were blamed on the Trump. Key: "shutting down" the virus was his core campaign vow. Image
Meanwhile: since @staceyabrams is a very sophisticated and important liberal, I'm sure there's something in The Science™ that justifies her being maskless indoors, surrounded by young kids forced to wear masks all day. Maybe she's holding her breath?

It was only a question of time before the all-out war on Rogan began. He's way too big and off-key to permit him to keep going. The concept of free speech in the US is a mirage: you have it right up to the line where it matters or can threaten power centers, then you don't.
Every major institution is united to destroy Rogan, including the WH. The Press Secretary -- speaking on behalf of the US Govt -- demanded Spotify do more to stop him, and this is treated as normal and benign. Ask Julian Assange if *effective* dissent is permitted.
The power derived from controlling the flow of information is immense. That's why every tyrant and authoritarian wields censorship power. Tyranny can't exist without it. And as Orwell and Chomsky have both said, the most effective form isn't jailing dissidents but doing this.

We spent the day at our homeless-run animal shelter @abrigo_hope which rescues, cares for and places for adoption abandoned animals while employing previously homeless people who lived on the streets with their dogs. We'll have a video about all our progress but I'll share some.
We have the widest range of dogs: ones who had illnesses as puppies and are now disabled: hard to find homes for but they're so happy in the shelter. We also have an amazing new couple who became homeless during the pandemic, took care of their dogs, now live and work here.
Some of my favorite dogs are the oldest one that have been there for years and the ones who can't use their back legs very well but manage to play all day and are the most affectionate. It's a privilege and joy to be there.

Estou morrendo de vontade de saber quantos brasileiros que têm opiniões extremamente fortes sobre Joe Rogan e acreditam que ele deveria ser silenciado formaram essa opinião ouvindo regularmente seu programa em vez de acreditar no que a CNN e o NYT dizem sobre ele.
E: quantos brasileiros que querem Joe Rogan silenciado sabem que, em 2020, ele apoiou o esquerdista Bernie Sanders, e que a campanha de Bernie orgulhosamente promoveu o apoio de Rogan? Se você quer censurar alguém, pelo menos assista ao programa primeiro.

Isso! Fiquei chocado com a quantidade de jornalistas brasileiros com opiniões tão fortes sobre o caso Kyle Rittenhouse que nunca assistiram nem um segundo do julgamento. Lembre-se: Globo, UOL e Folha todos disseram falsamente que ele atirou em 3 negros:

In 2016, @TulsiGabbard resigned as DNC Vice Chair to endorse Bernie. In 2020, she endorsed Biden over Trump. I've sent the last 3 years proving Lula's imprisonment unjust and defending Evo Morales, Corbyn and Ilhan Omar.

To malign Rumble, the Daily Beast tabloid published this:
This shows a broad trend. Most corporate liberal media is collapsing. What is thriving are independent sites devoted to free speech and heterodox voices (Rumble/Substack/Rogan). Daily-Beast-type sites are desperate to demonize what works, so they publish outright lies like this.
Obviously, it's valid to criticize Tulsi's views or mine. But 18 months ago, she endorsed and campaigned for Trump's opponent: same in 2016. Calling her a Trump supporter is an outright lie, but The Daily Beast doesn't care. *This* is why they're failing and people go to Rumble.
