#anneapplebaum — Public Fediverse posts

Here’s @anneapplebaum.bsky.social‘s great speech about and for Europe. She urges Europeans to take their (our!) future into our own hands and defend all our values and achievements, protecting them against those who want to destroy, divide and conquer.

Tucker Carlson reaches for credibility?

Has he got Paul Manafort doing reputation laundering for him?

Maybe buy a golf tour like the bone-saw prince?

Or an article gets written about Tucker in The Atlantic? Like Elon Musk.

This'd be the second reported shut-off by #Musk?

Wonder if what looked exactly like a #ReputationLaundering campaign will kick in again and have respected journalists and publications like #AnneApplebaum and #TheAtlantic putting out more exonerations of Musk shutting off data based on very flimsy evidence?

Amazing what billions of dollars can buy.

And is Musk a RU asset? Or is there a more #QuidProQuo relationship?

WOW! I didn't know this about these historians! A #MustListenEpisode

#Episode213: The Shallow, Power-Flattering appeal of high Status #Resistance #Historians

#AnneApplebaum , #TimothySnyder, #RuthBenGhiat , etc. have become liberal-friendly experts on #authoritarianism.

Citations Needed looks at the advent and influence of MSNBC-approved #historians dissecting their SELECTIVE #antiauthoritarian posture and discussing how their work does little more than polish their careers and provide cover for U.S. and U.S.-allied #militarism.

Later on, is guest #GregGrandin (upcoming #book in April 2025)
