The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

This has been observed before, but this cover really is a skeleton key for understanding the ensuing seven years

"We'll keep fighting [citation needed] and we'll keep marching on." [seriously, citation fucking needed.]

seven years on the dot.

Speech is not oppressed. People who speak are oppressed. Speech can not be liberated. People must be liberated so that they can speak. Freedom of speech means nothing without free speakers. Only people can take risks. Only people can be free. — @timothysnyder.bsky.social, On Freedom.

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby. She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body. A Black woman was used as a science experiment.

JFC. Even after what the Trump regime has done to LA, the state of California, both Schiff & Padilla (!!) decided to vote with Republicans to give Trump a massive gift on crypto. Same goes for Gillibrand and NY. Also shame on Booker, Kim & Warnock. A disgraceful list - especially this week.

Embarrassing for every reporter who has daily access to republicans and asks "what do you think about ____" instead of the most basic factual fucking shit

Good question.

L.A. Taco has confirmed with the family of 20yr old Adrian Andrew Martinez, who was taken by ICE while working at Walmart in Pico Rivera, is a US citizen who was speaking up for his coworker that was detained. ~ @eltragon.bsky.social

REMINDER: When you see violence done by ICE agents or police keep in mind that they aren’t new hires. They weren’t just hired months ago. They were already there but knew they couldn’t act like this. Correction: They acted like this. But now they feel like they don’t have to restrain themselves.

GO GET YOUR FUCKING PASSPORTS

They are saying that Lander (seen here being assaulted) assaulted the DHS officers. An unaccountable state reserves the right to both brutalize you and punish you for being brutalized.

A Black woman in a wheelchair found herself trapped among protesters. A line cook heading home feom work was caught in a cloud of tear gas, and an unhoused woman sitting on a bench was grabbed and shoved towards protesters. Read the full report by @shoton35mm.bsky.social lataco.com/homeless-get...

I want to list "Artificial Inteligence" in my bio, but I am not sure people would get it. Comedy is hard.

No Kings marches: * Over 2,000 marches * One day (so far) * ~11 million participants 👍🏿 Black Lives Matter marches: * Over 7,700 marches * Multiple days * ~26 million participants 👍🏿 Whoever told you 3.5% of the people protesting is some magic number for social change, lied to you.

Message to our members about the lawsuit we have filed over LAPD attacking press. Among reminders: "Above all, we hope you and your colleagues are OK. Some of you are not. Please take time for self care, your health and safety are more important than any story. " lapressclub.org/la-press-clu...

He is going golfing, y’all. Bet.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

Seeing the Club World Cup playing on turf is incredibly embarrassing. Seeing the players slide around, someone is going to get injured in Atlanta. The world’s game deserves better.

People forget about the “Obama phone.” The term was coined by conservatives who believed the administration was giving minorities free phones. What a different reality we live in. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Obama_p...

NYT last year: We're no longer going to endorse in local races. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/12/b... NYT as soon as a candidate they don't like has a shot at winning:

The Saudi tyrant that so many American oligarchs, sports professionals, and politicians are sucking up to has just murdered another journalist.

Expect this photo and this man to be made a hero by weird little guys who will follow in his footsteps like the previous weird little guys that are a certain demographic, support a certain political party and voted for a certain candidate yet are still called lone wolves.

Vance Boelter was an anti-transgender Christian Nationalist who delivered anti-queer sermons in the DRC, in case anyone was confused as to his political slant.

Imagine it’s your birthday and you throw a HUGE party for yourself, and barely anyone shows up. And those that do look bored. And then imagine that on your same birthday hundreds of thousands of people gather for parties in cities across the country because they hate you. A lot. Bummer for you.

Your cops just tear gassed a bunch of elderly people and journalists

[email protected] just made me tear up. They are giving away these t-shirts at tonight’s game. Thank you. Mil gracias.

Wow, check out this thread. Like the first inauguration, the crowd size is undeniably small.

The ones turning to violence tends to be a certain demographic that aligns with a certain political party and voted for a certain candidate. It keeps happening with the same type of weird little guys. This isn’t just this year or eight years ago but this has been happening for decades.

The man who tried to assassinate Trump was a gun-loving Trump supporter who later turned on him. Right-wing media blamed Democrats, because of course. The alleged Minnesota shooter is an anti-abortion Christian nationalist w/ a list with other Dems as targets. They're still blaming liberals.
