Following trend that's been active in my Twitter feed -- Kremlin gray cardinal Surkov published essay today on "Crisis of Hypocrisy" /1
As always with Surkov, the language was agonizing. Moscow peeps called it "disappointing" -- but it shouldn't be dismissed /2

Meant to share a few thoughts on this detailed, clear Dexter Filkins long-read, digging into the lingering Trump/Russia server question. Really nuanced reporting /1 newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
What was happening before the election in 2016 was an enormously complex counterintelligence investigation. We have only had glimpses of bits of it so far.

"Looking for people in the US helping Russia influence the election" /2
There will forever be debate about the failure of our institutions to get critical information to voters when it would have mattered. This ongoing lack of clarity is helping reinforce division and structural decay in our society /3

I only started paying attention to Murkowski when she fought back against a tea party favorite & won back her seat with iron-grip retail politics & representing her state +!constituents well.

Her speech right now on the Senate floor is the best of the last 3 weeks. /1
She has taken on conspiracies and bad behavior from both sides. She has called for a need to change course (and not vengeance, as many have).

And she has called for everyone to start listening to victims in a serious way. "Do more. Do better. Do it now." /2
She's reminded us that our Supreme Court Justices are some of the most important people in our country & should absolutely be held to the highest standard, at all times.

I was scanning thru Kavanaugh oped & noticed he used this again: "sunrise side of the mountain"

It's also in his senate testimony & a recent speech. He uses is a lot.

I remembered it from somewhere & was curious what it means, & if it is signaling of some kind /1
Then I remembered Bush 43 also used this more than once -- especially when talking about Texas.

This book, which discusses how Rs use religious language as political speech, talks about meaning of the phrase as a reference to resurrection used by conservative Evangelicals /2
That author interpreted it for sure as signaling on a set of hardline beliefs.

This paper (p21) notes the same ideas, referencing the previous book /3

This is pathetic.

I left the Podesta Group and started my own firm because of the Ukraine issue.

Nice try though.
Researching the Wired piece made me feel unclean.
Here's 7 pages of vile tweets about rape, if y'all want to understand the sewer-level information universe I've been wading through the last 3 weeks:

From Cernovich
From Milo:

I'm already super grumpy and I got in an uber home, and the crazy uber driver is playing the crazy Russian state media radio that broadcasts from next to the WH, and it's airing a crazy far-right radio show and frickin' Stephen Cohen is on glorifying Putin, and I hate everyone.
Cohen's painful explanation of how everyone was confused to excuse Putin killing Syrians is ludicrous. He's now trying to explain S-300s and has no idea WTF.
Also yo -- S-300s have been in Syria FOR YEARS
God what a gig.
"Putin was representing Assad in world affairs" Cohen says
As if this is normal.
Far right loony host waves arms around about missile defense apocalypse: "so what MUST NOT HAPPEN is that Israel and the United States MUST NOT kill a single Russian." As if anyone was targeting Russians. Please.

So here's the thing about MeToo that no one has a good answer for:

There's no mechanism for dialogue or reconciliation between pitchforks and silence -- yet.
This thing where CSPAN is flooded with calls, crisis lines are flooded with calls -- no one is calling for mass prosecutions, which is this primal fear you hear others talking about and exploiting (aka if you listen to one accuser then "it could be any of us")
People just want their story to be known. For it to matter in how we see ourselves and our need to do better for our children and the nation. For the people making those decisions to listen.

There needs to be a better way to do this.
