WOW: Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks THREATENS to "NUKE" critics of TYT for "stealing" their content - aka reacting to it on stream. FWIW - People are free to react to any of The Vanguard's paywalled content; we would NEVER try to censor our detractors as we actually care about free speech!

Pathetic capitulations to authoritarianism. When fascism is defeated don't let them rebrand once again as people who were always opposed to it, rather than opportunists whose morality is based on proximation to power

Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur · 6h I asked @elonmusk to put me in charge of cutting the Pentagon. And he said - what are your suggestions? I run the largest left-wing network online and a Democratic leader has NEVER asked me that question. The idea that they would take advice from a populist is disdainful to them. Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur Now, which side seems more open and inclusive? Which side seems more welcoming and which side tries really hard to drive you away if you disagree even a little with orthodoxy? Which side is asking for suggestions and which one is demanding compliance and obedience?@jysexton.bsky.social‬ Following Morning Joe licking Trump’s boots wasn’t an isolated incident. Many people will save themselves and normalize authoritarianism. It’s time for you to make a decision about what you’ll do and what you won’t accept. And the time of choosing is now.â€ȘMarc Elias‬ â€Ș@marcelias.bsky.social‬ We are all witnessing anticipatory obedience in real time. NYT Opinion essay "End the criminal cases against Trump"The Intercept: Vice's hard right turn to Trumpism. Shane Smith treats immigrants as a problem and apologizes to Elon Musk for past coverage.
