Not even herd animals are this flagrant about it. You tell me how and why corporate media constantly speaks from the same exact script this way, verbatim. #KamalaIsJOY

More here on Kamala and the Power of JOY:

There are countless large media outlets in the last 5 days alone who have all published large pieces calling Kamala's campaign THE POLITICS OF JOY.

Not happiness, not glee, not delight, not jubilation. They all have to use the same word. One more, from The Atlantic, of course. Image

Inacreditável que Alexandre de Moraes esteja constantemente concentrando em si próprio a figura de suposta vítima, investigador policial, promotor e o juiz - em seus próprios interesses.

Não há democracia onde uma pessoa pode investigar criminalmente o jornalismo que a reporta.
"Todos temos medo do superjuiz Moraes, menos aqueles que são os seus puxa-sacos" -- @lf_ponde, na @Folha.

Pondé sobre como Moraes não tem limites em seus poderes, e todos, exceto seus adoradores, têm medo de questioná-lo.

@lf_ponde @folha Aqui também: um ótimo artigo de @lygia_maria sobre a visão perturbada e perigosa de Moraes, a marca registrada de uma mentalidade tirana:

Que qualquer crítica ou questionamento feita ele é em si "um ataque à democracia" e, portanto, um crime.

There are few people in the democratic world more powerful or tyrannical than Moraes. He believes he is Brazilian democracy itself, and thus any criticisms of him are a criminal attack on the state.

Brazil's left views him as a deity, since he censors/imprisons their opponents.
On Tuesday, we began reporting in @Folha on a massive archive of data we obtained from his chambers between his top aides (6gb).

After the first day, the left united to defend him because they see him as infallible, and he called our reporting a plot to destroy democracy.
It's hard to explain the cult-like adoration the left has for him. No matter what he does - ban people from the internet or imprison them with no due process or trial - they go online and type "Eu autorizo, Xandão!" (we support you, Great Alexandre!).

It's sick to watch.👇

I find it so interesting when long-obvious truths suddenly are acknowledged in mainstream circles.

Here, in the WPost, even @TaylorLorenz (!!) admits that the hordes of #Resistance freaks and anti-Trump obsessives are as conspiratorial and deranged as what they claim QAnon is:
Here's @SohrabAhmari in the @NewStatesman on how many prominent liberals -- not anonymous Twitter trolls but major DNC donors and academics -- are deranged and drowning in moronic conspiracy theories.

This has been obvious since Russiagate insanity:

newstatesman.com/international-…
@SohrabAhmari @NewStatesman Just by the way: a non-trivial sector of the Brazilian left still believes the 2018 stabbing attack on Jair Bolsonaro was fake -- despite doctor testimony, his multiple surgeries, etc. -- and now believes the same about the attack on Trump.🇧🇷

Julian Assange landed today in Australia a free man.

He arrived to what the NYT described as "a hero's welcome." Australia's full political spectrum demanded his release.

The first call Assange received on landing was from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, to welcome him home. Image
The judge, when accepting his plea deal, noted that the US was **unable to identify a single victim** that this supposed crime produced.

Assange's lawyers and wife credited the Australian people for demanding their leaders secure Assange's release.

Assange has been detained for 14 years, and imprisoned in a harsh high-security British prison for 5.

He was never convicted of any crime other than a bail-jumping misdemeanor.

He had extraordinary advocates who worked 15 years to secure his freedom:

There are so many lies that @kaitlancollins allowed career liar Andrew McCabe to tell in this interview about the Assange case with no pushback.

Just to highlight one: WikiLeaks reached out to Hillary's State Dept before publishing cables to ask for input, and they refused.
Whenever someone exposes USG's secret crimes, they always accuse the person of "having blood on their hands."

In 2010, McClatchy -- the only big US outlet to get Iraqi WMDs right -- documented the utter lack of evidence that Assange endangered anyone:

Also: US corporate media always tries to deny "journalist" status to anyone who actually does real adversarial reporting against the US Govt, rather than just doing a Natasha Bertrand of writing down what CIA orders.

Assange won multiple journalism awards around the world:👇

Every media model has dangers: corporate advertisers, billionaires, audience funding.

Independent media is vital, but "audience capture" - fear of angering ideological viewers - is real.

Listen to @ComicDaveSmith on why he has been so vocally critical of Israel despite this:
I urge everyone to watch the repulsive exchange between Ron Paul and Rudy Giuliani at the 2008 GOP debate Dave mentioned.

It shows how blind and repressive the Bush-Cheney-era GOP - and US - were, and still are, to core truths about our foreign policy:

That military aggression by the US and allies (Israel) will produce "blowback" -- meaning the people we bomb will hate us and want to kill us in return -- was created by the CIA!

Yet it's so taboo that TikTok was forced to censor the bin Laden letter because it discuss this. Image
