1. Tommy Tuberville is a white nationalist.
2. White nationalism is racism.
3. Ergo, Tommy Tuberville is a racist.

Tom SullivanRoy Cohn's Rules for the Unscrupulous, according to one documentary: “Deflect and distract, never give in, never admit fault, lie and attack, lie and attack, publicity no matter what, win no matter what, all underpinned by a deep, prove-me-wrong belief in the power of chaos and fear.”
Delay, delay, delay is not in there explicitly. Perhaps it is a Trumpian riff.

AxiosNEW: The DOJ said in a court filing on Tuesday it can no longer conclude former President Trump was acting within the scope of office when he denied a writer's rape accusations and made allegedly defamatory remarks about her in 2019. https://t.co/kgdQTC1bpn

This is catastrophic for free speech in America. It's almost as if you can't be a wealthy fucking excrescence fomenting and participating in a coup to overthrow the republic and make it a jackboot-stomped shitscape of thralls bowing to the unitary authority of an illiterate racist dumbfuck messiah without millions of rational people oppressing you by not buying your shitty product. UNFAIR.

MagpieblogRight-wingers have torpedoed the hiring of a prominent black journalist to re-boot the journalism program at Texas A&M. Her crime? Too 'woke.'
' “I feel damaged by this entire process,” said [Kathleen] McElroy ... “I’m being judged by race, maybe gender. And I don’t think other folks would face the same bars or challenges....." '

Texas A&M recruited a UT professor to revive its journalism program, then backtracked after “DEI hysteria”
The university celebrated its decision to hire Kathleen McElroy to revive its journalism program. She says she’s staying at UT after she felt judged because of her race and gender.

#EJeanCarroll UPDATE: As expected, E. Jean Carroll has moved to dismiss #Trump's counterclaim against her based on jury's unanimously finding only that he sexually assaulted, not raped, her.
Specifically, bc the jury was instructed to use New York criminal law definitions of rape * sexual assault, the "overall gist & substance" of Carroll's post-verdict statement on CNN was true, & there is "no meaningful difference" in terms of viewers' understanding. #legal
