ithacagreg.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

A New York Times investigations editor logs onto bluesky for the first time in 5 months to defend a virulently transphobic journalist who works beneath her knowing she'd provoke a reaction. She then uses that disapproval as a smug reassurance of her transphobia being justified.

To say this is irresponsible would be to give it too much credit. He is actively encouraging a crackdown that draws no distinction between constitutionally protected and unprotected speech. This is a Red-Scare-level call for censorship, innocent people will suffer, and Jews will not be safer.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Remember when Ronald Reagan literally had Alzheimer's during his 2nd term, his wife ran the country with astrology, the Republicans all covered it up and turned him into an icon naming airports and highways after him all over the country? Yeah, that actually happened.

Whoa buddy, the CEO of Boundless is on the board of the UK's Independent Publishing Guild? She's the Chair of their Diversity and Inclusion Group? All whilst sending out emails to authors declaring she won't be paying them their royalties whilst claiming to still own their works? Yikes.

Israel tells people it's safe to go and get aid from a site Israel itself set up. Then, they kill 31 people and injure 170 who are traveling to that site to get some food. Starve people, tease them with scraps of food, then kill some along the way. It's terrorism.

The MAHA report appears to be almost identical to a 2023 document put out by “Children’s Health Defense,” the antivaxx front that RFK Jr. used to pay himself >$20K/wk for spreading disinformation. It appears AI was used to make the tone more official sounding & add citations, many of which are fake.

As someone with multiple folks like this in extended family, she absolutely voted for all of it. And she will again. I've gone no-contact with all of these assholes and let them know exactly why. This is a sniveling way of trying to win back favor after being an abusive creep without doing any work.

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

Last week the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States surged by 350,000. Don’t worry, an army of gangbangers and other criminals didn’t charge the border. Rather, President simply decided to turn 350,000 legal immigrants into illegal ones. wapo.st/3HvBBka

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.
