“This is the mainstreaming of neo-Nazi hatred in America." My 5-minute monologue tonight, on the @MehdiHasanShow , on the dangerous embrace of 'great replacement theory' and white supremacist rhetoric by Tucker Carlson, enabled by Fox and the Murdochs:
Much talk of how the Afghanistan war failed over the past 20 years. Much less talk of how the original invasion itself was an outrage, given there were no Afghans aboard any of the 4 planes. @RepBarbaraLee was the only member of Congress to vote against it and she was right.
@biannagolodryga Yes, exactly. Also, on a side note, this was after Trump had privately told Woodward that he, the president, had been told it was in 'the air'.
To avenge the 3,000 innocents who died on 9/11, the U.S. under Bush invaded, occupied and/or bombed multiple Muslim-majority countries, leading to the deaths of 100s of 1000s of innocents who had nothing to do with 9/11. The war on terror only gave us more war and more terror.

Hey US media folks, here, I would argue immodestly, is how you interview a Trump supporter on Trump's lies:
Trump should be remembered as the man who demanded Hillary Clinton be ‘locked up’ while wishing Ghislaine Maxwell ‘well.’
Literally the only Tucker Carlson interview you ever need to watch - with the brilliant @rcbregman . Still makes me chuckle:
In the past 24 hours, Muslims in U.S. & U.K. have been murdered outside of mosques. When will we admit anti-Muslim hatred is out of control?
To be clear: there is no other Western democracy I can think of where armed men in camo and other military-style gear regularly turn up on the streets of cities and towns, who aren't themselves anything to do with law enforcement but who get left alone by law enforcement.
