Tonight, the top rated host on @FoxNews sided with Vladimir Putin and put forward a conspiracy theory that the FBI was behind the January 6th insurrection.

Don’t laugh. This will become gospel among the GOP base.
“You mention critical race theory—I'm not a theorist. I'm Chief of Naval Ops. What I can tell you is factually—there's racism in the Navy, just like our country. The way we're going to get after it is to be honest—not sweep it under the rug.”

Fauci now claiming US officials never tried to shut down debate on COVID origins. No: they always insisted it was vital to "keep an open mind."

If that's true, why did Silicon Valley monopolies ban any questioning of the zoonotic theory, citing US/WHO health officials to do so? https://t.co/7QAduyQ9wn
Fox News (particularly Tucker Carlson) is now trying to blame the FBI for 1/6.

Apparently, the new prevailing theory in wacko land is that the “deep state” organized and executed 1/6.
In other news, Orwell wants to be made fiction again.
I want to tell a quick story about Tucker Carlson, a small town in Maine, and a panic over “critical race theory” stoked with the help of Fox News and viral conservative websites.

So one brother is in charge of all U.S. Army forces in the Pacific, and the other brother is touring the country, appearing at events marketed to adherents of the QAnon conspiracy theory, telling them there really ought to be a military coup to reinstall Trump in power. pic.twitter.com/x3TiE5Daqp

Believing January 6 was an inside job perpetrated by Democrats and Trump’s fiercest enemies in the government isn’t a conspiracy theory.

Believing it was an armed, deadly insurrection incited by Donald Trump and executed by white supremacists is the conspiracy theory.
Here’s the whole story about how national groups and conservative media have parachuted into small towns to kickstart fights over what they claim is “critical race theory.”

We put a lot of work into this one. I hope you read it.https://t.co/BViSZskbkc
The “critical race theory” fight is about whether we all have to continue to live in a delusion governed by white empiricism or whether we can live in reality, reckon with actual history, and in so doing, build a better world
