This ain't it.

This article is probably so convincing if you have a severe brain injury

Values aren't determined by majority rule! What a fucked up thing to say. This is arguing tyranny of the majority. Retract it. Now.

There are enough of us that we can pick EVERY fight, numbskull.

🙄 President Felonious Fart has decided to misname the Gulf of Mexico. Nobody else agrees or accepts this except bootlicking neo-fascists and cowards in the media. Which are you? 🙄

You dorks deserve the lockers you’re going to be shoved in for the rest of your lives. Your faces cannot be eaten quickly enough.

Eat shit "The Atlantic" you are the worst ocean.

Thanks for the tip not to bother this one.

I don't care what the Convicted Felon in Chief says I'm still calling it the Gulf of Mexico, nuff said.

Stop Obeying In Advanced!

If you don't fight this where's the line?

C O W A R D S

This take. It’s garbage.

Everyone who takes a paycheck from the Atlantic is a collaborator. This includes your favorite podcast hosts.

The Atlantic & its writers are just sad. Was it ever good?

What nonsense is this?

Crazy how reactionary centrists always mention 1984 whenever someone says a pronoun but then turn around and say “this isn’t the right fight what’s wrong with you” when actual blatant newspeak rears its head

*it's

It's not so much "upsetting" as it is "the delusional POTUS is using this to attack Constitutional rights". He's not "owning the libs", he's a mad king. It goes beyond partisanship.

You underestimate how much fight I got. The majority don’t support this nonsense and we all need to stop acting like it’s normal.

You do not give one inch to a fascist, period.

No, it’s precisely the fight. To rename the Gulf demonstrates the thin-skinned mentality of a jingoistic fascist. No quarter to these jackasses

1) Democracy doesn't mean one can do whatever one wants 2) US Presidents are not elected by the majority; there is no majority rule in a place where gerrymandering is pervasive and 1 person ≠ 1 vote

Glad I cancelled my subscription after you published the article about Doge not being so bad right after Elon’s N*zi salute. It seems you are hell bent on appeasing the Turd Reich.

Absolute fucking losers.

Nobody voted for this

It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico longer than America has existed…..

Complete bullshit. This is where the fight begins.

@giladedelman.bsky.social go fuck your fascist self

What’s the use of access, when the whole world can see exactly what Musk and Trump are doing because they shout it from the rooftops!

Oh fuck off. He has as much right to rename the Gulf of Mexico as he does the Moon. HE can call it whatever he wants for the next 4 years, and I will continue to call it The Gulf of Mexico.

This is fucking stupid. First of all it's still the GULF OF MEXICO, just because cheeto issues an executive order doesn't mean shit.

No one at the Atlantic actually believes anything.

Upsetting? Trump’s decision is infantile and expensive. The correct word is embarrassing.

#GulfOfMexico for over 425 years. 🧵 by Encyclopaedia Britannica threadreaderapp.com/thread/18897...

trump didn't quite get a majority this go round, now did he?

This is unworthy of the Atlantic, of all sources. Language matters.

You are not correct. Language matters. This is nonsense propaganda. ZERO TOLERANCE for this bullshit. It’s the Gulf of Mexico for any serious journalistic entity. See also Encyclopedia Brittanica’s response.

A lot of stuff Trump is doing can serve as smoke screens and distractions but it all still needs our attention. We shouldn't be normalizing the stupid grandstanding games he plays. We need to be outraged at ALL of his insanity because complacency and ignorance has led us right into fascism.

we voted to rename the gulf of mexico? wow, don’t remember that one

The first media org to get dropped on its head as a baby

Unsubscribe. Hit their wallets any who preach tolerance or acceptance of President Musk and beta trump.

“Trump makes them harder still by blowing past all standards of reasonableness or good faith, leaving high-minded institutions struggling to adapt.” Another “Trump rattles annoying liberals” article. No elaboration about Trump’s intentions and motives. Irrelevant.

You should cancel your subscription

Anne Applebaum is just going to start smacking people at your writers and editors’ meetings, and I will not blame her one jot.

They paid to get through the paywall, so obviously they're gullible and stupid.

I disagree. EVERY thing is the right fight to pick! Resist!!!

Check your polls my man.

It’s The Atlantic, they went along with Bush, too. So why not Trump?

Which means there may never be a swinging back. See: Hungary and Victor Orban. Currently the ideal model government for MAGA.

Unfollowed. Wankers.

Read the room. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

Capitulation.

We're not looking at a determination of values, we're looking at an erosion of values. That you, as a major media outlet either can't see or acknowledge that is disappointing.

I don’t give a fuck about Trump and his bullshit decision. What I care about are all of the supposed beacons of journalistic integrity falling right in line with his craven bullshit. WHAT ARE YOU FUCKING DOING? It’s fucking disgusting and you should be fucking embarrassed and ASHAMED.

No. Sit down

It's a big hit to journalism. Anne Applebaum is insightful and important. I think she should write a column telling us what the hell is going on there.

Nobody wants something so stupid as changing the name to the Gulf.

Jesus christ you all are essentially the new york post

So. What does the wanna-be Geographer want to do about this?! He probably doesn't even know it exists! LOLZR #GulfofCalifornia

One day he's gonna come for you, and no one is going to come to your defense.

"Be docile until I tell you that now is the right fight to pick."

Well I didn’t say it was just gone.

Bullshit. Every single fight is the “fight to pick”.

Fascist rag

Fek this noise

The Atlantic has become Stenographers for the Nazis. They don't want to miss those swinging parties the Nazis have on the weekend.

More intensity, more passion.

You are dead wrong. Stop justifying this insanity.

The Gulf Coast continues to be a sacrifice zone, even in nomenclature. If he came after the Atlantic I bet y’all would be singing a different tune.

Only 30% of the Voting Eligible Pop voted for this POS

Pathetic book licking

Edelman is giving Chait a run for his money as the most morally bankrupt writer at the Atlantic.

Values are determined by majority rule? What?

@giladedelman.bsky.social @theatlantic.com The name of the Gulf of Mexico is NOT a “value”, AND values are NOT determined by majority rule. Thankfully? MY opinion, informed by MY values, has determined that, by MinoritY rule, I will NOT be giving my monies to The Atlantic ever again.

Unfollowed for even publishing this tripe.

So values "can shift back" if we stay silent and eat shit? I'll pick that fight all day.

If you can’t fight back against something as small as the real name of the Gulf of Mexico, then why should anyone trust you’ll fight back on larger topics and issues?

You bootlicking spineless f*cks. Stop sucking Trump's d*ck and show some Journalistic Integrity.

Democracy itself is the biggest DEI project ever created. Diversity of people and views, equity in the population and inclusion of all through representation. They are attempting to dismantle democracy. Period.

You get paid to write shit like this? Really?

Pathetic.

Maybe we just don't appease the fascists?

Gilad Edelman is a dolt. Best riposte: Why? Why do we need this now? Articulate 1 good reason beyond your own vanity. What's the cost benefit ratio on doing this?

Can you stop platforming cowards, please

a) no b) Trump did not get a majority of the vote

Fuck off

lol. terrible attitude. terrible argument. there isnt a finite number of arguments to pick you cowards.

Well, we lost The Atlantic. There is no hope for the media now.

If he named it "Fred," would you have the same response?

Oh my god. Seriously?

This is just plainly daft and you should be ashamed of yourself for pretending you'll ever take a stand on anything.

God, what a stupid fucking premise.

Fackts

Who is clicking? The argument is in the headline and people are mocking him. It’s a fetish more than anything.

"Defending the freedom of the press in the face of blatant authoritarian coercion is the wrong fight to pick"

Dear Atlantic Fuck Off Sincerely, The World

It may be upsetting to you, in a free country with a free press, for me to tell you to fuck off and stop normalizing this madman and his insane ego. Stand with AP.

My god, you people are total idiots.

Okay but the president of America doesn’t have the democratic authority to start renaming geographical features on the globe

Go suck off a fascist you idiots

c'mon man

Seriously, and I mean this sincerely, fuck all the way off.

No one asked for the Gulf of Mexico to be nicknamed 'Gulf of America' and the thing most Americans want is stability, not random renamings of international bodies of water. That's not how this works, and has nothing to do with democracy. Stop justifying fascism.

Fuck off

Get. Fucked.

this is idiotic

If it is the wrong fight to pick then it is the wrong story to report.
