  1. RE: universeodon.com/@SrRochardBun

    I rarely watch and even more rarely share commentary videos, because I very much prefer the written word, but #JamelleBouie has it right here. This is worth a watch.

  2. If your brain is always multitasking, or responding to technoprompts, there is no time or energy for undirected mental play. Furthermore, if you are consumed by the same information loop circulating around everyone else, you don't have anything to stimulate you into thinking differently. ... You don't have access to unexpected knowledge. You're just swept along in the same narrow current as everyone else, which is swift but not deep.

  5. ""As [#Trump's] Approval Rating goes down, willingness to stand up to him goes up."
    - #DavidBrooks, #Republican commentator, on the recent shift in the #US #Congress and #Senate.

    Keep picking at him, keep raising skepticism, keep pulling the people off the fence. We are winning, even if slowly.

    #DavidBrooks makes noise about how many people are moving to #redstates from #bluestates. He is foolish to assume that those people will vote #Republican, especially after experiencing the lack of #services, the horrendous #education, and the erosion of #civilrights happening in red states. #Arizona was reliably red, and then millions of people moved there. It has since passed through purple to blue.

  7. #DavidBrooks told @[email protected] the reason we're at #war with #Iran is 47 yrs ago Iran declared war on the #UnitedStates. Other #Trump #MAGA #Republicans have said this, too. Is the idea here that #America will be "at war" with any nation that declares on us? What a novel #doctrine!

    Brooks and Capehart on Trump's...

  8. "The New York Times columnist David Brooks appeared in multiple photos from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that were released on Thursday by the House committee on oversight and government reform."
    [...]
    "The timing of the release is notable. Last month Brooks published a column in the Times saying that he was not interested in the long-unfolding Epstein scandal. “Why is Epstein the top issue in American life right now?” Brooks wrote."

  9. "The New York Times’s David Brooks ... wrote that the Epstein Files were 'overblown' and we should 'move on.'"

    ~ Rebecca Schoenkopf

    Would this be the same David Brooks who uses his New York Times platform to lecture the rest of us about virtue, civility, and "traditional" values

  10. "David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, 'The Epstein Story? Count Me Out' is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

    He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose."

  11. NOT a good look @nytimes - You might want to check with your staff to see who else has been hanging out with corrupt billionaires and pedophiles. #uspol #uspolitics #DavidBrooks

  12. Getting Watch Party Ready with this ‘Made In Oklahoma’ recipe

  13. #DavidBrooks of the #NYT just gave #Democrats some unsolicited advice, expectedly permeated by false premises, fallacious conclusions, and privilege.

    Brooks basically calls for Democrats to abandon their areas of strength, give up the institutions that make democracy possible and sustainable, leave behind the people who, unlike the likes of Brooks, are financially insecure, and all he offers to replace all that is "y'all have to come up with something entirely new, I don't know what."

    No.

  14. When #DavidBrooks , a _moderate_ CONSERVATIVE pundit calls for a NATIONAL CIVIC UPRISING against #DJT & #Trumpism, we know a stark red line has been crossed.

    The DAILY assaults against the media, the Justice System, universities, research, private law firms, civil rights and the bedrock RULE OF LAW are not partisan threats. They threaten us all.
