    This was not on my Bingo card, but there it is: China’s rising anti-semitism (and the gov controlled internet’s role). https://www.persuasion.community/p/chinas-rising-anti-semitism?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;amp;publication_id=61579&amp;amp;post_id=139697102&amp;amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;amp;isFreemail=false&amp;amp;r=f8hp&amp;amp;utm_medium=email

    @Bossito@mastodon.green …which has very much dropped off the radar in the context of all the conversations going on right now. Point well-taken.

    @MugsysRapSheet No argument with your general point, for sure. What was interesting to me is the question of what the Chinese government is trying to accomplish here given their control of the internet narratives in the country. We can all take guesses, of course.

    Don’t cover the horserace, cover the stakes. For example: https://www.unpopularfront.news/p/whats-at-stake-in-the-war-on-woke?utm_source=substack&amp;amp;utm_medium=email&amp;amp;utm_campaign=email-restack-comment&amp;amp;r=f8hp

    Expect disinformation; double-check; fight what&amp;#39;s false.

    Another good look at Trump/MAGA media coverage, this one regarding Trumps purported &amp;quot;gentler turn&amp;quot;: https://open.substack.com/pub/aaronrupar/p/trump-assassination-attempt-media-criticism?r=f8hp&amp;amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;amp;utm_medium=email

    This is an amazing piece for the “culture studies” types (like me). BTW, not a political advocacy piece, so don’t be put off or put on by the title: https://wisdomofcrowds.live/p/trump-the-magic-candidate?utm_campaign=post&amp;amp;utm_medium=web

    A peek into the reality in some communities where the book banning/persecute librarians issue has not gone away: https://www.yahoo.com/news/inside-two-fight-bring-charges-180003472.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly90LmNvLw&amp;amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABUvHRdkzDkjtzH_Tefd-ygqSDnvQnyhkR0kW_-s7xB-j-0zGomhcBkOTIYsHysbTgEJLqxqkqHmEKrFsPZWLJCKHJg32nmml-rzzf8KoynYtl4PDtAwF-SCekmsEQ6o4IYGBKWlyhybl3a51JI9L-QrDtbgFE_8HK9zTU4ZQzdT&amp;amp;s=03&amp;amp;guccounter=2

    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social Seriously, people need to see/hear the crazy. Now that the frame for the campaign isn’t strong vs weak, it’s time for people to be reminded of all the crazy.

    @bouriquet @elyseea@threads.net The big ship metaphor is good. Dems didn’t get here overnight, nor can they shift overnight. Grassroots takes time but can produce results.
