Under @klausschwab.bsky.social, I saw WEF try to educate the rich & powerful on progressive ideas (climate, diversity, aid). Now, post-Schwab, Davos is cleansing its agenda to attract the present-day Führer. Davos assured Trump ‘woke’ topics were off the agenda www.swissinfo.ch/eng/foreign-...

And they claim that socialism is bad. Well, corporate socialism sure is.

So Joe calls Trump on the eve of the 5th anniversary of Trump's coup attempt and the subject never comes up?

No trans journalists is ever involved at any level in nyt news coverage about trans ppl; we are purposely excluded. The nyt has not hired or assigned a trans journalist to cover trans news for at least five years. Your publisher and top editors are well aware of that.

Dear @nytimespr.bsky.social. Your press release re comments I gave to @transnews.network includes many errors but one assertion is true: “TNN featured an interview with a former editor on the International desk at The Times who was not involved in these coverage decisions.” That is the problem

So we now appear to be up to at least 80 Venezuelans killed. For an operation that anonymous admin officials said yesterday was"virtually flawless." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

This bit of news — at least 40 dead— appears around the 27th graf of the NYT story. Which is a really bizarre choice. (And we find out a few grafs down that several US soldiers were injured)

Stories built on "U.S. officials," especially ones published just hours after an action, are rarely the actual inside story. And papers shouldn't be playing like they are.

In case you didn't tune in last night, here's what you missed: CBS as propaganda. Dokoupil is Bari's puppet, who's the Ellisons' puppet, who are Trump's puppet (who is still Putin's puppet). It's puppets all the way up. Brief 🧵

I don’t think the BezosPost intended this, but that headline is a serious condemnation of the American system of government.

Donald Trump is so obviously going to annex Greenland. And European leaders will respond with unparalleled levels of "monitoring the situation".

Every major free speech org has said the IHRA definition suppresses constitutionally protected speech. Every major human rights group has said it suppresses legitimate advocacy. The scandal is that Adams adopted the definition, not that Mamdani rejected it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/n...

“The law probably won’t matter in court” seems a pretty accurate headline right now

And there's a word for it! "Hypercorrection" is the term for a linguistic error made in an attempt to sound more educated, formal, or proper.

A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview: "If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

I mean this literally. Bad grammar exemplifies a form of code switching in MAGA World -- a sly sort of conformity to the tribe. Good grammar is looked upon with grave suspicion.

Dokoupil is slobbering over Hegseth....saying SIR, SIR, this is the best illegal act ever...SIR. It's a two commercial "interview"--FOX is going to be jealous

First minute of Tony Dokoupil's debut as CBS anchor is pure Trump propaganda, showing only celebration of Trump's kidnapping, plus illiterate grammar: "Commandos raiding his compound before dawn grabbing he and his wife in their pajamas." No, Tony, grabbing *him*. He's all jaw.

Mamdani called Trump and chewed him out! Did any other Democrat have the integrity and guts to do that? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/world/americas/mamdani-trump-venezuela-maduro.html?smid=url-share
