What @C__Herridge means is that the complaint UNDERMINES her false claim that Floris and Benavides engaged in such narrative manipulation, but she's going to lie to you about that bc she's a corrupt grifter.

My reporting on the student movement in Serbia last summer. They kept at it, amazingly, for two years. And they won. snyder.substack.com/p/youth-…

John Kiriakou sent an unsecure email to a journalist (whom he now says was Matthew Cole) outing a covert CIA officer, which everyone knows is a crime. He later admitted to the FBI that he knew the officer was "always undercover," and that it was "scary" that his name got out. So yes, don't do that if you want to avoid getting indicted.
I’m speaking directly to the source who leaked this information to Matthew Cole: Your life as you know it is as good as over. Take it from me, or any of us who spent years in prison because of him (Reality Winner, Terry Albury, the list goes on). The White House is smart. They know Matthew Cole is sloppy with sources, and they know he is a coward who folds like a wet blanket. Barack Obama had his way with him. And Trump is about to do the same thing. To all Cole’s sources, best of luck when his book releases this week.

Benjamin Moser, author of Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, told Rashid Khalidi that his 80-year-old mother, who had all but called him a Hamas member, apologized after reading his book: “I’m ashamed I ever said I was a Zionist.” His book traces Jewish opposition to Zionism over the past century and challenges their exclusion in discussions over Palestine. “No, you don’t get to set the rules anymore. We’re setting the rules now,” Moser said. Khalidi added that he had never seen so many people change their views so rapidly, noting that major publishers are now embracing books on Palestine that would have been virtually unpublishable just three or four years ago.

A devastating summary in this interview with @OborneTweets, who has just returned from East Jerusalem, of what Israel is doing to the Palestinians—and the uselessness of Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband, only six weeks after their ‘reset’.
The Butcher of Beirut – Israel’s alternative to Netanyahu. Peter Oborne – just returned from almost a month in the Occupied Territories – came into the Double Down Newswatch studio to talk about the Israeli election, Britain’s feeble surrender to the Israelis over the consulate in East Jerusalem and the ongoing horror in the West Bank and Israeli prisons.

BREAKING: Putin just lost another ally in Europe, and people are celebrating in the streets. Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia’s authoritarian leader and close ally of Trump and Putin, has officially conceded defeat in a historic snap parliamentary election. The student-led opposition movement has won, ending more than a decade of Vucic’s grip on power. Voter turnout reached nearly 70%, the highest since the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992.

Has anyone written about backlash? I recently read a story about backlash @drmoore & @davidafrench suffered for being in a film about nationalism. I now see that @ADFLegal is in on an ad allegedly drawing backlash. Is backlash a product marketers sell?opendemocracy.net/en/5050/se…

.@EricMetaxasShow of @SalemMediaGrp catching up. I'm not sure I'd seen "evil" and "term" placed next to each other before. Stay safe, America. xitter.cf/RightWingWatch/status/…
Trump cultist Eric Metaxas complains about being called a Christian nationalist, saying it's "an invented term to silence the church": "It's an evil term, really, because it's trying to silence God's voice in the nation."

Here's @ericmetaxas of the #FaithCartel auditioning for a spot in the next #BackLashLoop. To my knowledge, @MrsErikaKirk doesn't know Eric from Adam. But he can garner cred & coin by claiming an association anyway AND target colleges who don't back the #BigLie. Get it?

Sometimes "backlash" refers to self-respecting adults saying No to a white supremacist terror spokesperson.

*nods* I'd say they've confused the good news of Jesus & the prophets for the right to deploy armed force against women & doctors & asylum seekers & "the unsaved." Politics isn't always theology, but theology is always politics. #BackLashLoop xitter.cf/bobsmietana/status/175…
One more He Gets Us thought for now. They are a clear example of how the religious ambitions of evangelicals and their political/cultural ambitions class. They want to spread the message of Jesus -- and want to win the culture war.

OK. I get it now. It's a #BackLashLoop. Ad drops. Folks talk. Bigots for forced birth militias, defunding public education, targeting LGBTQ+, killing migrants, & cooking the earth cry "both sides" & "partisan." Wendi Gordon of @TexasObserver has the story. texasobserver.org/he-gets-us…

Thank you, @RepJasonCrow, please take your concerns directly to @MikeJohnson.
After Elon Musk posted on X saying he had throttled Ukraine’s use of Starlink after it was used for offensive attacks, House Armed Services Committee member Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) says the billionaire’s ability to wield that power is “beyond disturbing to me.” “It cannot and should not be the case that a tech oligarch, a private citizen, who has that much control over our national security, who is unaccountable, who is unelected, with zero transparency, is making life and death decisions on the battlefield in systems that our service members and our partners and allies rely upon,” he adds.

Wow. Who's bankrolling the Chase Center? @christopherrufo? @megbasham? @DavidAFrench? Is this behavior funded by the #HarlanCrowNetwork?
Ohio State professor Luke Perez assaults a journalist while @crgreen24601 watches. Both of them are faculty at the “Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society,” which claims to support free speech and “open inquiry.”
