Emily Singer at Daily Kos:

In 2016, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. crapped all over Donald Trump and his supporters, agreeing that they were racist idiots too stupid to succeed, according to a trove of radio clips unearthed by CNN.

CNN reported that Kennedy—Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services—made the comments on his radio show “Ring of Fire,” where he regularly criticized Trump and those who backed him. For example, in an episode that aired in March 2016, Kennedy praised journalist Matt Taibbi’s criticism of Trump and his base. “One of the things that you write so beautifully, and your stuff is so fun to read, but you write about Trump, quote, ‘The way that you build a truly vicious nationalist movement is to wed a relatively small core of belligerent idiots to a much larger group of opportunists and spineless fellow travelers whose primary function is to turn a blind eye to things,’” Kennedy said, quoting Taibbi’s writing. “‘We may not have that many outright Nazis in America, but we have plenty of cowards and bootlickers, and once those fleshy dominoes start tumbling into the Trump camp, the game is up.’” Kennedy went on to say that Trump is a racist demagogue but isn’t smart enough to be effective like Adolf Hitler because Hitler had a "plan" and “was interested in policy,” while Trump is "non compos mentis"—Latin for "of unsound mind."

CNN reported that Kennedy also compared Trump to other past autocrats, like Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco. “And you can see that every statement that Donald Trump makes is fear-based,” Kennedy said in an episode that aired in December 2016, according to CNN. “Every statement he makes. You know, we have to be fear of the Muslims. We have to be fear of the black people, and particularly the big Black guy Obama, who’s destroying this country, who’s making everybody miserable.” Kennedy went on: “And only one person has the genius and the capacity to solve these things. And I’m not gonna tell you how I’m gonna do it. Just trust in me, vote for me and everything will be great again. And of course, that whole thing is like a carnival barker.” He also called Trump racist and compared him with former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, an infamous segregationist.

“Wallace’s appeal … was to White middle-class men who had experienced the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s as a social demotion, and who found their lives in turmoil,” Kennedy said, according to CNN. “And that kind of insecurity, I think, is the target of the summons that Donald Trump has sent out to the American public.” Of course, Kennedy has now changed his tune, blaming his past comments on—you guessed it—the "mainstream media." “Like many Americans, I allowed myself to believe the mainstream media’s distorted, dystopian portrait of President Trump. I no longer hold this belief and now regret having made those statements,” he told CNN. “There’s apparently nothing that can’t be blamed on the mainstream media, even one’s own very public criticisms,” CNN reporter Jim Sciutto wrote in a post on X. Ultimately, Kennedy is one of a number of people now in Trump's orbit who slammed the president-elect in the past but have since retracted their statements in an effort to amass power.

During a March 2016 appearance on Ring Of Fire, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave praise to journalist Matt Taibbi’s blunt criticisms of Donald Trump and his MAGA Cultists by calling them “belligerent idiots.”

Now, both Taibbi and RFK Jr. are on the Trump train (esp. RFK Jr.), or at least Trump-curious. Also, Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance, was once ardently critical of him, but now is a suck-up toady for him.

Donald Trump is seizing on the optics of Biden’s genocide and is speaking out against it and Israel. “BUT Trump would be worse on Gaza” Yes obviously he is cynically using it against Biden/jumping on the political liability but this is why there should of been a ceasefire MONTHS AGO as it’s a blatant political liability that anybody can see is a weapon against Joe Biden and is a literal genocide he is enabling. People blindly following Biden and demanding people stop talking about Palestine because Trump are both morons and immoral pieces of shit.

I know a nearly 40 minute interview is probably not Tumblr's speed, but anyone who is actively interested in IP, copyright, and media, regardless of one's opinion on copyright, should watch this interview with David Bellos.

Watching an interview with Steven Friedman with Sam Seder and, like, I knew the concept of creating Israel after WWII was pretty antisemitic from the Western countries’ perspective, but it was very interesting to learn that many of the founders’ vision of Zionism was based in the idea that other Jewish people were uncivilized parasites and having a nation would civilize them and make other Europeans accept them as White People™. So, yeah, Zionism was apparently kind of racist and antisemitic right from the beginning. Makes sense why most Jewish people didn’t take Zionists seriously for, like, half a century.

Holy shit this Majority Report video about a report about an incident between Obama and Netanyahu where Biden interfered that makes Hilary Clinton and Obama look like peace lovers compared to him. He’s always been like this man

"I think the claim that the origins of copyright are intended to protect the author is ... a slightly self-interested and often totally hypocritical way of understanding history"

- David Bellos, professor of Comparative Literature at Princeton University

I encourage a watch. Even if you don't watch the whole thing, the first minute or so has a quick primer on the difference between patent, copyright and trademark that experience tells me most people on the internet need.
