It’s good that a “true believer” stepped down and I’m all for it. His reason for doing so isn’t super noble though. MAGA Classic isn’t a whole lot better than New MAGA. They really just have different awful priorities. And both parties in a ‘wrong kind of asshole’ fight are still assholes.

I think this says more about how universal opposition to the war is than anything particularly good about Kent.

You can read the whole resignation letter here. You’ll find the catch in there!

We’re expected to believe Graham was speaking in metric?? Fake news!

Should’ve made them slide across the courtroom in their underwear to teach them a lesson.

I’m not entirely convinced that you know what words mean, but…

Why are you misrepresenting what I wrote?

Just as a practical matter, demanding any kind of apology or explanation from a guy who physically cannot communicate seems like a big ask. In this case ‘quality of apology’ is a foolish metric. It would be nice if Chomsky could explain himself, but he can’t.

Chomsky is 97 years old and had a massive stroke several years ago. He’s not capable of speaking or writing.

@otter@lemmy.ca you are so good at outreach!
