I once kept a sub to the Atlantic just to read Adam. Today I set up a new trial account just to confirm my worst suspicion that he'd claim work @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has been doing for years, at risk to her own safety. Tracks with the misogyny of the magazine perfectly. For shame.

💯. One of The Atlantic's top editorial guys is king of this -- he was here on Bluesky saying it's not fascism, the left is too left, etc...

Adam is one of few remaining lights that still writes for that burning tire fire

We are in this situation because one political party decided they were no longer willing to do the hard work of compromise and so they chose instead to try to steal the whole game (suspend the rules because the ends justify any means)

Cool. Now do one about your editorial columnist and their role in denying fascism

Helpful observations, Adam. But I'm shocked & disappointed that you fail to cite @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. She's been on the case for years, with two esteemed books analyzing this very topic. Selfish move, dude, not to elevate a woman facing death threats for her impeccable scholarship.

His primary problem with the Iraq war was 'we didn't keep the oil." So none of this is a shock

Would the last decent writer to leave the Atlantic please turn out the lights? Adam?

Also, racism.

Quite true, and certainly the case long a very long time. There is a world of difference in the prosecution of white-collar crime vs blue-collar crime. If the former had been vigorously enforced, Trump would have been buried under the jail decades ago.

Amen.
