I begged Der Spiegel to translate Jörg Schindler's excellent reporting on America's fall into theocracy and they did. As I keep saying, German journalists are doing a better job covering America's fall than American journalists. 1/

History: "But the right did not learn cancel culture from the left; the modern right in America emerged as a censorious movement." The Right Didn’t Catch Cancel Culture From the Left

Opinion | We Have Seen the ‘Woke Right’ Before, and It Wasn’t Pretty Then, Either

Conservative censors have been busy for decades.

Superb reporting by @npub1hww9...k50h's Jörg Schindler on the cult next to the White House. "Holy warriors: How fanatical Christians are taking over the USA." I'm begging for it to be translated so Americans can read it and American journalists learn from it.

Just got off a call with Howard Stern about Jimmy Kimmel, who was brilliant in his return. They -- and Stephen Colbert -- are my First Amendment heroes. I am grateful for their courage defending *our* speech.

"Strays from science." No, Goddamnit #BrokenTimes, he tells dangerous lies and endangers lives. Throw away your fucking thesaurus. Have the courage to speak truth. That would be journalism. On Covid and Autism, Trump Strays From the Science

President Trump has used his position of authority to dole out flawed medical advice dating back to his first term, when he mused about injecting b...

Idiotic #BrokenTimes: robbing "woke" from Black culture & letting the right apply it as an insult to the left was bad enough. Labeling fascists "woke" is one hot take too far. With Calls for Retribution Over Kirk, Some See Rise of a ‘Woke Right’

With Calls for Retribution Over Kirk, Some See Rise of a ‘Woke Right’

Conservatives have pressed for consequences for those who make negative comments about Charlie Kirk. But a few on the right say they worry about li...

A brilliant essay on Trump's stupidity: "Trump is stupid, there's little doubt about that . He doesn't play the naive, he doesn't disguise himself as a complete idiot, he's not a holy fool." PLEASE, @SZ, translate this for Americans who need to read it.
