A. No they're not. B. Good.

Careful, Mike. It's recursive. Anyone who calls out Trump for not knowing what actual malice is, we'll, that makes THEM guilty of actual malice!

We lost a man today that actually contributed great work to American culture. I’d love it if we could just shift to talking about All the Presidents Men or The Natural or The Last Castle. What’s your favorite Robert Redford film? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

"And if you’re wondering why Trump said the stupid things he said about sexual assault, it’s not just that he’s a sexist pig, he also was trying to explain away the dramatic rise in sexual assault. Unfortunately, for Trump, he is a very stupid man."

No. Very simply, no.

My latest, featuring a conversation between me, @angeladenker.bsky.social and Samuel Freedman on the manifestations and threat of white Christian nationalism in our current moment. open.substack.com/pub/robertpj...

No need to blow me up with multiple replies when you finally figure out I was right and you already look stupid.

The irony that the murder of Charlie Kirk, a man who literally made his living off university campus visits, is used to criticize the lack of “viewpoint diversity” of universities is clearly lost on all the “civil” centrists and liberals.

It's official: You can believe your eyes. Now for action....

You've been had, Ezra. Just immediately go and work for Bari Weiss and save us all some time.

I get being angered by Ezra Klein’s initial response to Kirk’s murder. I also get being frustrated by his admission today that he identified with something in Kirk. That he ”griev[ed] for him because I recognize[d] some commonality with him. He was murdered for participating in our politics.” Yes…

Taking a break from writing about the present to write about the past, so I can give my students an example, in real time, for my early America survey, what writing about a primary source looks like. So I'm going to share with them my draft in progress of an @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social piece.

A Christian school in Vermont refused to play against a team with a trans athlete. So a state-sanctioned league banned the school from all competitions. A federal appeals court has now rewarded the Christian school's bigotry. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/appeals-co...

Just a glorious photo in the Times.

In @theatlantic.com, @gcaw.bsky.social offers the best take I’ve read so far about the #CharlieKirkAssassination — largely because it does not pretend to deduce an ideological motive, but merely reflects on the tragedy and its dark implications for our fracturing society.

“Luego, exclamó ‘¡viva!’ a las heroínas anónimas, a las mujeres indígenas y a las ‘hermanas y hermanos migrantes’, para continuar con arengas a la dignidad del pueblo de México, la libertad, la igualdad, la democracia, la justicia y la soberanía.”

I don't know who this Voltaire guy is but he should be fired

Ezra Klein is trying to ingratiate himself with the Trump regime. George Orwell called this in 1946. Orwell critiqued quisling intellectuals who worshipped power. And said intellectuals in the early 40s predicted the fascists would win and accommodated their writing to that fact. That’s this 👇👇

On this day in 1928, a levee broke during a Florida hurricane, killing thousands of Black farmworkers. Black victims were denied proper burials—their bodies were stacked in piles and burned.

Revealed: Charlie Kirk had a 'secret sister' with stunningly different views www.rawstory.com/charlie-kirk...

I kind of envy the transvestigators who are so deep in the game that they're not even really political anymore. Like when anything happens and everyone's rushing to analyse it from a left/right perspective they're just doing what they always do, pulling out their skull templates

Dear old dudes, you can’t make up for misogyny by infantilizing women. Thats misogyny too. You’re welcome.

Bye Mr. Redford, thanks for everything. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

A vigil for Charlie Kirk was held in Fort Worth over the weekend. It was organized in part by a writer for the right wing website, The Dallas Express, who also is on the executive committee for the Tarrant County GOP. During the vigil, the founder of Patriot Front spoke. That's North Texas for you.

"The AI Pokemon talked my 3 year-old into committing suicide. Do I get a rebate?"

Listen, I don't know what happens next. But it's hard to ignore that civil society is distracted and atomized right now, and I'm not sure we can bank on a big public response to, say, targeted defunding of progressive NGOs.

"For Trump, to say something is to force it, to assert in the same breath that it’s true and that its truth cannot be questioned."

Thanks, tho I shld say courtesy of me only in that I had the sense to turn to @annneumann.bsky.social & @audiosand.bsky.social

Throughout his tenure, Jeffries' main accomplishment has been maintaining striking unity as the House GOP is in constant disarray. Now this:

"I know 'racist' is Bad. I'm Good, obviously. Ergo I'm not 'racist'. Ergo, calling Muslims a subhuman threat, attacking them, supporting ethnic cleansing, like I do, is not 'racist'. I get to say what 'racism' is and it ain't me." Just try telling any of these people they enjoy white privilege.

Keep wondering if and how newsrooms are thinking or talking about their legacy in this moment. How history will view them. Do they discuss the past shame of the NYT in their complicity over WMD claims, for example? Do they see dangers of being stenographers to authoritarianism?

Sitting in a hotel lobby in Ireland. On one side of me, some folks from Texas are talking about how restricting will “fix everything” and the other side are folks from NY worried about Trump messing with the Fed.

Bondi warns Office Depot worker who refused to print Charlie Kirk flyers: ‘We Can Prosecute You’, but somehow, refusing to bake a 🍰 for a gay wedding is perfectly OK. This level of #cognitivedissonance would be hilarious if it weren’t setting legal double standards. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/pam...

The framing of the Kirk murder that folks in the right wing media ecosystem are being inundated with is …ominous.

How about we don’t give fascist white women a pass by infantilizing them. K? Thanks.

Also truly bizarre repression, by the way. His “instagram clause” should be illegal. Your employer should not be allowed to regulate your publicly expressed opinion.

At this point, @nytimes.com might as well rebrand as @theonion.com, parody would be an upgrade.

"Russia has a network of 200 camps for ‘brainwashing’ Ukrainian children. Investigation uncovers documents and satellite imagery that confirm children being taken to sites for patriotic indoctrination, weapons training and combat drills" www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Seems like this needs to happen in the U.S. too.

"Actual malice" is not subjective. If the alleged malice cannot be *objectively* demonstrated, it's not something our legal system can address. Example: "I feel that you are about to do me harm!" -> well, what's the evidence for this beyond your subjective feelings? [*crickets*]

Dus je interviewt alleen mensen van buiten de universiteit, waarvan twee uiterst-rechts en gefrustreerd over gebrek aan universitaire carrière, en laat hen “de realiteit” bepalen? Maar vooral ook extra kudos voor het totaal verzwijgen van de daadwerkelijke repressie van “anti-Israel” posities.

On target. Yeah, we need to ramp up our satire game.

"Universities were established in the late Middle Ages & the influence of academia grew dramatically over the centuries, only to decline precipitously in the 21st Century when academics left Twitter for Bluesky."

Yeah, this is how it goes.

If you want to know how #MegynKelly views the world, ask her about her protests about a non-white Santa Claus. Now, she says a "divisive" black former president brought the country to today's perilous climate. I smell straight-up racism. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

What can newsroom leaders learn from NGO leadership? In this interview with Exec Dir. of Doctors Without Borders UK, Nathalie Roberts, she discusses balancing the mission with the mundane, creating healthy workplace cultures and setting boundaries reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/how-run...

My MP, Danny Kruger, just defected from the Tories to Reform. He did it after a meeting with J.D. Vance. I, effectively, have a MAGA representative in government here in the UK.

MAGA are currently doing a hyper version their usual thing re Kirk's words, i.e. denying he said what he said while also celebrating him for saying it. You have to understand: this tactic is fundamental to the Right. "I like this. This is correct and good. Also, it never happened."

Morning train to Dublin.

Hey MAGA, give Charlie a massive tomb if you want to. Here's how it will ultimately end up. However long it takes, it'll end up as a rubble-strewn toilet.

So I know the racism and misogyny is the bigger deal here, but seriously how old are these people?

Tempting to go 'hilarious' random and say something like, um... North, the Care Bears Movie, and Salo... but that's just cheap. The films need a deep but not immediately obvious thematic connection, so... yeah, North, the Care Bears Movie, and Salo.

It'll never stop being funny that a nazi billionaire in love with AI sets up his own AI and, AI being AI, it just reflects what it scrapes back at you, so sometimes, when it scrapes facts, it says stuff the nazi billionaire doesn't like, so he declares it wrong and has to ideologically reprogram it.

Charlie Kirk is one of the most popular Twitter accounts among accounts that follow Nazis. Seems like Nazis love what he had to say.

Totally normal Christian nationalist country we have.

Yes, this is one of the problems about talking with people about ideology. One question in the ANES asks which party is more conservative and several percent don’t even know that. We’ve all seen people who will die on the hill that Nazis are leftists because of “national socialist.”

Könnten alle bitte aufhören koordinierte, rechtsextreme Aktionen um Journalist:innen wie Dunja Hayali mundtot zu machen als „shit storm“ zu bezeichnen? Es ist wirklich höchste Zeit, dass Menschen die über Rechtsextremismus schreiben auch basale Dinge über Rechtsextremismus verstehen und benennen.

I have a new op-ed out 'Celebrate Adolescence's Emmy win - but don't forget the message at its core' @lbc.co.uk www.lbc.co.uk/article/cele...

With the Roberts Supreme Court who knows — they’ll probably find a shadow docket move to harm the New York Times. But this lawsuit smacks of weakness. Just zero in on Trump’s false bravado of his “mandate.” 😂😂 Trump didn’t even win a popular vote majority! And, that’s his kryptonite!

Wer stolz verkündet "Gaza brennt", der spricht nicht von einem gezielten Krieg gegen die Hamas, sondern der feiert das Leid und die Vernichtung von Menschen.

Also if you have things to say about Charlie Kirk’s bad values, and you fear reprisal for saying them, DM me and I’ll post them if they are fair and just criticism.
