Lord. The #BrokenTimes treats handing important and cultural and journalistic assets over to fascist factotums as an unalloyed triumph, with not a yes-but for democracy.

Democracy dies and the #BrokenTimes dances around it, putting "subvert" in scare quotes & the mouths of Dems & saying Trump is succeeding in "undermining America's trust" in voting.

They are the definition of truly toxic masculinity. The #BrokenTimes thinks they're cute and funny. "Boys will be boys...this administration’s hard-line approach to maleness."

Worst of #BrokenTimes Baker. He stares the Führer in the face and sees merely an egotist. "But Mr. Trump does not seem concerned that he might be heading down a dangerous path."

The #BrokenTimes Editorial Board at last speaks out against ICE's murderous lawlessness--and, of course, uses the opportunity to bothsides and criticize ... the Democrats for the reforms they demand. The moral vacuity of the so-called "center."

The #BrokenTimes stands by the wide-open Overton Window and can't feel the breeze. The goal was to be as openly racist as possible and they succeeded.

#BrokenTimes wants Mamdani to fail as he succeeds. "But the oil paintings of former mayors that line the walls of City Hall offer a cautionary tale for Mr. Mamdani." It's jealous of influencers.

OK, then, this is a test: What do we call power unrestrained by law? Authoritarianism? Dictatorship? Fascism? The end of the rule of law and democracy? You fail the test #BrokenTimes.

What the...? The #BrokenTimes treats a meeting between "billionaire film director" Spielberg and Mamdani as somehow furtive.

The #BrokenTimes hates good news as much as it hates Mamdani. Rather than focusing on the good news and political victory of child care, it Eeyores dark foreboding.

"But"? No, #BrokenTimes, it should be "and." With "but" you presume he was the cause of repression and you advocate for his kidnapping. Your conjunctions matter.

The Overton window is not just an academicky trope. Moving it has consequences. What the #BrokenTimes should position as threats of illegal imperialism it instead normalizes as "hints."
