Once again we see that the biggest motivation to turn right wing is to find some cover among fellow sexual predators

Stephen Miller finds it impossible for anyone else to consider immigrants as human beings so he's happy to go on air and say "would those journalists host the people we deported for a night to keep them out of torture prison?" as though getting people out wasn't exactly the point of the reporting.

At least 46 homes have collapsed as Gaza enters the “Forty-Day Cold Period,” a predictable consequence of Israel’s continued blockade & the deliberate denial of shelter materials. The Government Media Office demanded the immediate, safe entry of humanitarian aid & fuel, & the full implementation...

I needed this thread as a kid.

These declines are MASSIVE. And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING. “Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?” THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it. Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

No one should have to live like this.

I'm not catching up. I give Fs until they stop using AI.

This discussion is stellar- Definitely worth taking in.

Helping a baby in the Holy Land seems like a good thing to do this season ❤️

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient. The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

Notable that this piece casts the CBS journalists’ reaction as how they “feel” about their piece and what they’re “used to.” Inherently denigrates their concerns. But hey nice try.

Giving all adult survivors of child sexual abuse a big hug. Watching Epstein on the news is hard as a survivor. I love you. I know how it feels.

I don’t think I should have to explain this, but this is why having fascists in power is bad. Every petty grievance that advances their agenda rises to the level of “off with their heads.” Getting a decent education in OK is no longer possible.

The Soviet gulag is one important comparison. I also keep thinking of the classic question of World War II history: "Did people know?" Did Germans know about concentration camps? Did people living next to the camps and death facilities know? How could they go about their lives if they knew? We know.

Greenland is one of the few countries in the Americas where the Native population makes up a clear majority. And the Native language - Kalaallisut - is the only official language.

also interesting that the administration thinks it has a say in CBS News personnel matters. perhaps they've been given an indication that they do.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

I mean it’s also straight up : Patriarchy hates the idea of men understanding what people actually find sexy about them Because that means that women have sexualities and that their sexuality doesn’t have to be painful or secretive And that power dynamics are only sexy with consent

Around 12,000 cancer patients in the Gaza Strip are enduring severe hardship due to shortages of medication and the absence of medical follow-up.

Colorado immigration activist Jeanette Vizguerra nine months after she was taken into custody ICE "I am thankful that they never gave up, remaining committed even when the outcome seemed dark […] This fight is about the constitutional rights we all share, human rights and dignity for all people,"

Yes that was entirely the goal of this all, and for some bizarre reason academics were framing this whole thing in the context of rubrics and whether the paper deserved an A or B or whatever. Congratulations on playing the transphobes’ game so well.

Internationally sold out.

Awwwwww 🧡 Me too when I was that lil.

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

“Not all men” but in the case of Gisele Pelicot, it was her husband and 80 other men from a small region of France. Men of all ages and backgrounds. Men who were married with children. No one tried to help her. Now it’s happened again, this time in the UK. 🧵

Over 30 selfie thread. 41-43.

Please help my friend Julie if you can.

This was entirely about purging a trans instructor from the school and they succeeded. It was aided by a lot of dumb liberals taking it at face value arguing the minutia of grading rubrics while ignoring the obvious bad faith efforts behind this.

Welp, aside from being an atrocious injustice this makes a solid advertisement for the point that TAs on every campus to unionize.

They’re adding medical debt back onto credit reports. They’re going to garnish wages over student loans. They promised to “Make America Great Again”. To make it more affordable. Instead they’re ensuring people suffer as much as possible. It’s intentional. Ask yourselves why.

The most heart breaking part is this kind of "journalism" high up editor logic is NOT unique to Weiss. I wish you could've heard what I heard when my work was killed, silenced, suppressed and silenced (or at best, just criticized). It's eerily familiar. In some ways identical.

The Heritage Foundation is going through an internal shift to a form of white supremacy that does not recognize any Jews as belonging inside the tent of whiteness

Bari Weiss is an Ivy League graduate who attended a private school, and has been a senior news and politics editor . She is 41 years old We don’t need an explanation . She’s been a journalist for most of her damn career. What does the second explanation say about those around her

Breaking news: Trump is citing “national security” to halt all active work on offshore wind projects Five giant energy projects, countless jobs at risk My story explains how the argument has legal weaknesses and comes from an anti-wind policy doc I reported in January

CNN: "A soaked tent or a bombed-out ruin: Gazans face a grim choice this winter." Please don't turn away from the suffering civilians. They rely on our donations to survive. Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can take care of her children. And to others. ❤️ chuffed.org/project/1587...

Yeah, @sanasaeed.bsky.social says it all. Fuck Rahm Emaniel's current media tours to present himself as the establishment Dem candidate. Only Gavin Newsom comes close to being as self-centered and self-serving as Rahm.

I reallg don't read CBS stuff anymore. I expect Bari Weiss to have deeply compromised the place. This CECOT story vindicates my decision.

baller

Bari Weiss spiked the CECOT story because she wanted to have Stephen Miller included and demanded to control the language 60 Minutes used to describe the men who were brutally tortured after being sent to El Salvador without due process.

Happy Hannukah! Chag Sameach! For those who didn't get to light a candle: Prayer is in Hebrew and says: "Blessed are You, G-D, sovereign of the universe, who has sanctified us with his commandments, and commanded us to kindle the Chanukah light."

What kills me is that from the comms/ media end . Everyone is complaining that copy ain’t hitting, adds don’t feel good . And there’s no “voice” It’s not working practically, or strategically It’s just destroying the planet in the interim
