Mamdani is just killing the #BrokenTimes. Its coverage is like a five-year-old's temper tantrum over trying asparagus.

No, no, #BrokenTImes, the left does not want its own Charlie Kirk. Only your Ezra Klein wants another Charlie Kirk (plus Douthat and and Stephens). And remember what the left had to say about that?

RE #NYT #BrokenTimes
"arguments against it illustrate a consistent problem with progressive stewardship of American cities" ⭕That's #bullshit‼️

There ARE other #Ballroom near the #WhiteHouse, so these are the 3 real reasons for the #EastWingDemolition #EastWingDemolished

1. #Trump "demonstrating" that he is in charge and does not need to seek permission from anyone

2. #Politicaldonations are "pay to play" corruption

3. #Distraction from the #risingprices #economy

@jeffjarvis "9/11, Some say it was a tragedy, others called time for change in central Manhattan" #BrokenTimes #EastWing

The #BrokenTimes cannot bring itself to label and thus explain the reality of today: a fascist dictatorship. It is failing America.

The #BrokenTimes bothsides everything, including even the broken East Wing:

Millions march against the fascism the #BrokenTimes is blind to. It now refuses to count their numbers and it muffles their voices in small, BTW headlines. This is not journalism.

Thus the #BrokenTimes does Cuomo's work by tying Mamdani to him in a home-page headline. Just another receipt in the #MamdaniVendetta

"Diorama of power dynamics." Beyond euphemism, that is glib glorification of dictatorship. The #BrokenTimes would rather show off its turn of phrase than call fascism what it is.

#BrokenTimes praises racism, sexism: "Despite a raw vocabulary and some rude provocations, he outlined a nuanced vision of the military’s purpose and its relationship to civilian society."

Deutsche Freunde: I'm reading a translation of Günther Anders' Die Antiquiertheit des Menschen, which renders "Verbiederung" as "banalization". I like that invention (more on that in a minute) but I'm not sure how true it is to the original. Thoughts?
Here's why I so like the word "banalization": it perfectly captures what the #BrokenTimes and American journalism are doing to Trumpist fascism. Their evil isn't banal (apologies to Arendt) but is being presented as such in our press.

The #BrokenTimes' thesaurus fails them again. I can think of other words, starting with 'Illegitimate.'

@aral The finger peckers even have huge soapboxes, a major one being Ezra Klein at the #BrokenTimes

Getaloada Peters' peak #BrokenTimes euphemistic gymnastics: "Experts in civic discourse say Mr. Trump’s give-no-quarter language is unmatched by other modern American presidents." Neither is his fascism.

#BrokenTimes' Peters asks, can't we all just get along (with fascists)? "Missing from national politics today are vivid examples of friendship and civility across deep partisan divides."

"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.

"Shattered norms"? No, this shatters the rule of law: a prosecution based solely on the order of a dictator, not due process. The fascism is under your nose, #BrokenTimes
