They do this kind of sanitizing too consistently for it to be an accident.
Goddamn them to hell for it.

The media is really sanitizing Stephen Miller in a few ways:
1. Complete denial of his norm-breaking, internet-gutter-racism-informed white supremacism, probably because they don’t want to admit that Trump’s policies are internet-gutter-racism-informed white supremacism.

Major media outlets sanitize Stephen Miller’s white nationalist ideas
Miller has a long history of promoting some of the core tenets of white nationalism. Media outlets, with few exceptions, chose not to describe his views in plain terms.

Military euphemisms have always angered me.
Sanitizing the senseless killing of people only to maintain the status quo and to return years later to fight another war.
It never ends.

moscow commits atrocities until the sheer volume overwhelms our capacity to comprehend them.
Then comes the poisonous vocabulary that makes the horror wrought by russia easier to ignore:
“proxy war”
“NATO expansion”
“escalation”
Words launder responsibility.

And there's levels to the shit that colonialism brought with "civilizing" that brought "sanitizing" and relationships to harmful cleaning products and gimmicks
Yet another reason when I'm like "reparations are owed" for the amount of biological warfare capitalism has inflicted that can't exactly be quantified.
And it was so messed up once I learned how alot of perfumes are endocrine dysrupters and realized how they got ppl hooked via pop stars.
Yet another extractive gimmick shell industry

exorcisms at the White House are going to be enough.
We're just gonna have to demolish it all,

Sanitizing racism and other bigotry is like giving it a nod and a wink.
Call them out.

Marginalize Stephen Miller by using every opportunity to shine a light on his hate speech.

HAHA I have watched it, the points it makes about taking a very morally gray character and sanitizing them to be more palatable for wider audiences was the main takeaway I really appreciated

Charitably, maybe the thought is you can create more space for Republicans to defect by working your way through the cabinet. Uncharitably, perhaps that risks merely sanitizing the administration by picking the low hanging fruit.

I wish Millenials would stop getting blamed for the grey box remodel trend en masse. Most of us can’t afford a home let alone to repaint it all lmao blame the older money for sanitizing interior design!!

It's 2026 and everyone from Cory Booker to academic nutrition folks are still hell-bent on sanitizing MAHA to argue for aligning with the movement to enact food system reform. Not even sure what to call it (naive sounds too polite) at this point to have blinders on to the harms of this movement.
