Oh it gets better. After one interrogator left Jordan’s office she became Jay Bhattacharya’s lawyer on Murthy v Missouri. Imagine! And now she’s at New Civil Liberties Alliance, suing me in TX as plaintiff’s counsel for some antivaxxers. Jenin Younes really gets around. 😂 Machine machine machine. RE:

This is not the slightest bit surprising and it began prior to Trump coming back to power. As the idiot AG of Missouri was pursuing Missouri v Biden, Stephen Miller’s America First Legal sued me and my colleagues with the same forum-shopped judge and plaintiffs. Wake up: it’s a machine. RE:

Peanut was A+ meme fodder: you could generate provocative, funny, poignant squirrel pics. But to the point: the right makes heroes of the Wronged Man constantly. There are GiveSendGo’s for people who defend RW values set up within minutes. They are on every pod. The clips are circulated. Merch. RE:

Populism is broader than Trump. The speaker was talking about Modi extensively. And the way people decide on who the enemy is, is refined and communicated through deep stories. “Eating the pets” was a story. RE:

“The only way a populist can be fought is by telling a true story better.” I’m at the Liberalism in the 21st Century conference listening to Suketu Mehta extol the critical virtues of storytelling. “God speaks to us in stories, not in studies.”
