Last week, former fact-checker for The New Yorker, Talia Lavin, ‘accidentally’ called an ICE agent, who happened to also be a disabled vet, a Nazi based on a tattoo. Well of course, she was WRONG (and you’d think a fact-checker of ALL occupations would have known how important it is to be right about something like that) so she ‘resigned.’ Some people have said she was fired but hey, what’s important is that she is no longer checking facts for anyone.
She made a big deal about apologizing to the vet for not seeing who he was inside or something … but then she tweeted this about restaurants being encouraged to discriminate against people based on their political ideals, especially Trump officials.

Imagine if Republicans said this about ANY group?
She would be calling them all Nazis, she’s good at that.
oh no, the fascists concertedly stripping away our rights might have to brown bag lunch. we should be more submissive. direct anti fascist action is so gauche

Huh?
We’re not entirely sure Talia knows what fascism actually looks like … someone get her a mirror.
the tsk tsking at any genuine anger on the left while revering and exalting the power and rage of the racist right is truly remarkable

Wonder how that whole PayPal thing is going for her.

Right?
It’s sort of like we’re taking crazy pills.
She’s a liberal, so it’s okay.

Something like that.
I don't know if you've noticed, but protesters now go to private residences.
