    Last year Nazis killed a woman with a car and then people spent the next 365 days writing editorials asking if we’re too mean to them

    After the murder of in , Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides.” But only one side murdered anyone: the nazis. Since then, "no moment of national healing," AP says. How can there be with Trump?

    I see Flemish nazi trolls are very angry at this tweet, so, I really want to make sure none of us RT it...

    Seems this same group also provided "security" for (Belgian State Secretary for Asylum/Migration), known for partying with Nazi collaborators, spreading far-right lies on Twitter & working with Sudan's mass murdering regime to clear a Brussels park of some refugees

    Never before have so many media sources given so much airtime to a proud racist. Now they’re putting him on stage and making money off of him. What a cynical ploy to sell tickets and make a fast buck. This is an embarrassment, .

    No doubt will claim they seek a wide range of ideas, saying in essence, “we have also invited speakers without a racist ideology, so we have a balance.” Then maybe they’ll announce another panel with a discussion of the pros and cons of genocide.

    Thread...

    I come from a long line of killers on my mom's side - Cossacks, military men - and don't like the romanticizing of violent repressions, "Lenin wuz right," "Stalin was no big deal," etc. I believe this legacy is important to consider, because the world is headed for a crisis.

    Let's be clear: this is not an editorial decision to cover a vile person because they are somehow newsworthy. That obviously has to be done sometimes, and can be done well, with good, sharp, critical journalism. This is literally giving a white nationalist a stage.

    If u r going to write about Turkey-USA relations, u need to look not only at Turkey but also how US under Trump undermines trans-Atlantic alliance & liberal democracy with nationalist “christian” values

    President Erdogan, who heads Turkey’s largest Islamic party, probably was never a real democrat

    Media today: Let's give lots of uncritical attention to these far-right authoritarians. Outrage clicks are good for business. Media tomorrow: This new far-right government is attacking critical media, banning media outlets & killing journalists! How did this happen?
