Awesome! Another reader of Taibbi's.

By the way, the Post Gazette seems to have stolen that article, so maybe don't drive business their way. https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1274747185507246081?s=20

Instead, here is Taibbi's substack. If you're off a mind, a subscription is only $40 per year, but the stolen article is nevertheless free. https://taibbi.substack.com/

Hey thanks! I just grabbed from the first google link. That's SUPER messed up. I hope he sues. Will update. Love Taibbi!

Interesting and good point. I could see how people could think that it's good idea to censor violent extremist viewpoints. I tend towards Taibbi's interpretation of publishing anything because I would rather err on the side of releasing dangerous info and let people decide for themselves, than having a media police that police what we read.
