And the propaganists who deny them Marcy Wheeler (emptywheel) reflects on Judge Aileen Cannon effectively postponing Donald Trump’s documents trial until after the November election. She responded to the tweet below by Kyle Cheney with “Trump appointee bows to Trump demands, delays acccountability for stealing nuclear documents.” Marcy writes: By 11 my time (plus-5 from ET), it had gone viral, with 200k views, 47 QTs, 4.4k likes, 1.6k RTs, and 300 responses. The post is a good way to start thinking about the information economy that led us to a place where a Republican judge helps delay accountability for stealing nuclear documents and storing them in a closet normally storing campaign swag. This information economy creates an environment in which a former prosecutor like Aileen Cannon either believes, or claims to believe, outlandish claims of bias and ill-treatment solely because career national security officials — rebranded by Trump as the Deep State — did their job. The RWers were pissed, as she notes. This kind of viral response on Xitter is the point — right wingers have deliberately stoked such toxic viral responses for years.

Though her family sometimes received food stamps and occasionally had their utilities cut off, Marcie Alvis Walker’s parents led her to believe that they were an average middle-class Black family. They encouraged her to pursue her dreams and told her that if she worked hard enough, she’d achieve them. The small catch was that Walker’s dream was an elusive one for any cash-strapped and undereducated Black woman: being a New York Times–bestselling author. Now, as a published non-bestselling author, she wishes she’d had a backup plan.
Is Trump bleeding support yet? Tuesday was another bad one for Donald Trump, Boy King of the Red Hats. It ended in Indiana with Trump’s victory in the Republican primary. The former insurrectionist-in-chief won handily against South Carolina’s Nikki Haley who, Politico reports, “cleaned up in the suburbs.” A zombie Haley candidacy continued to punch above its weight in the Trumpiest of states: The former South Carolina governor is on track to break 20 percent for the first time since she dropped out of the race two months ago. Trump may have won Indiana’s 58 delegates, but Haley “posted above-30-point performances in places like Marion County, home to Indianapolis, and affluent Hamilton County, its suburb to the north.” Indiana is sure to go into the Trump column in November. But in a tight presidential contest, Trump cannot afford to lose even a fraction of Republican base voters who turn out for primaries. As one Twitter user observed, if President Joe Biden had lost 22 percent to a candidate no longer in the race in a deep blue state, it would be front page news.
WHAT TO INCLUDE:
Mystical Language
You want to make sure the overall vibe meets expectations. The tone cannot be contemporary, because that is not what the audience paid to read. Motherlands and fatherlands should be referenced lyrically as if they are fantasy worlds. Anything that emphasizes that this isn’t a real, living person’s story; it’s an AAPI story—the Perfect AAPI Story.
Food
It’s an easy entry point, so it needs to be a focus. Treat the food as a primary character and the people as secondary characters. Make it abundant and familiar—a table filled with dumplings, pad thai, sushi, and chicken adobo. Korean food is trendy, so throw in some kimchi. Would an actual family prepare this hodgepodge of varied national dishes? No, which is why they’re excluded from the Perfect AAPI Story.
Back in October 2022, ORG exposed Government plans to snoop on UK residents’ smart meters and energy consumption data. In July 2023, the Government backtracked on their plans following ORG’s campaigning, in particular by reducing the frequency by which smart meters’ and energy consumption data would be collected. All’s well that ends well, if it […]
