"the very rich man from television is a bigger victim than the normie who was jailed and might be deported for opposing genocide" is about as pure a distillation of what it means to be a member of the ruling media class as you will get

love to be ruled over by the world's biggest babies

sorry i was told it is illegal for a politician, particularly a democrat, to say that trans people are not deformed animals. presumably zohran is waaaay behind in the polls over this right?

it is really important for news outlets to be clear (unlike the nyt here) that Kimmel was suspended not because of some grassroots backlash but because ABC caved to threats from the head of the FCC

it's wild how all you have to do to get a glossy nyt profile is to say "we're not hating trans people enough"

in america, we know political violence is wrong—and the government is going to kill this guy to prove it

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

it’s super weird to me that a bunch of people on twitter have been talking about how the nation is like a “sensible liberal” magazine, bro it’s probably the single most important left wing progressive outlet in american history. like idk this kind of thing isn’t being published in nyt or wapo

For @thenation.com, I wrote about the trend of young Democratic candidates attempting to duplicate the aesthetics of the Zohran campaign, without the ideological foundation, economic populism, or authenticity that made it successful. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

WSJ has now appended this lengthy editor's note to its original report. It notably contains zero contrition for the initial decision to spread such incendiary misinformation. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

one reason to want real gun control is that we wouldn't have to sit around endlessly going "what does the shooter's use of this obscure meme tell us about his views on society" bc he wouldn't be a shooter bc he wouldn't have a gun. he would just be....some guy. sounds better, right?

would love for the media not to pat trump on the head for basic behavior that would be expected of a 12-year-old child

that wsj story now feels like a culmination of anti-trans panic that should prompt a reckoning in the mainstream media. was totally bunk, false, peddled. it’s the kind of thing that has led to reconciliation before, and it should now. news editors should be looking at themselves in the mirror

called it, we're doing GREAT

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

While a bunch of performative centrists pretend they don't know what Charlie Kirk stood for, Charlie Kirk's fans seem to know exactly what he stood for.

⭐️ Drop Site News, with @unmutehumanity.bsky.social, has launched the Gaza Journalist Fund to help 29 vetted reporters evacuate Gaza City and survive displacement in the south. Please give: givebutter.com/gazajournalists

"Kirk's vision of liberty was premised on stripping away the freedoms of anyone viewed as unworthy. This isn’t 'practicing politics,' it’s promoting fascism and extremism." Read @kathkrueger.bsky.social on how you really don't have to sanctify Charlie Kirk. www.discourseblog.com/p/you-really...

"Reading one of our apparently preeminent liberal thinkers say the words 'Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way' makes me feel fully insane." You Really Don't Have to Give It Up to Charlie Kirk www.discourseblog.com/p/you-really...

My friends, I am deeply heartbroken.💔 My son Nasser has a chronic illness and needs daily medication we can no longer afford. Hunger, rising prices, and the tightening blockade have left us struggling in silence. Please, your support means medicine, food, and hope.❤️‍🩹🫂 gofund.me/edd687b8

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

many people seem unaware that you can say that it's bad someone got killed without also saying that that person was jesus

blogged for @thenation.com about bari weiss taking over at cbs news. it would be great not to live in a world where being the worst person imaginable doesn't get you fame fortune and power. alas. may cbs staffers revolt and may her tenure be short and failed! www.thenation.com/article/soci...

oh interesting, the florida government thinks it has no place telling people what to do with their bodies. guess they'll be greenlighting gender-affirming care and abortion on demand!

Today in @thenation.com we have harrowing, unforgettable accounts of the Israeli massacre that killed Anas al-Sharif and 5 others—from three journalists, including al-Sharif's cousin, who were there. Unfathomable that the world's media doesn't care about this. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Last year, Israeli soldiers destroyed Ali Skaik's home in Gaza City and held him for hours, stripped, blindfolded, injured, and at gunpoint. Now Israel is invading Gaza City again. And Ali is terrified. Read his testimony in @thenation.com. It is unforgettable. www.thenation.com/article/worl...
