NEW inside CBS— Staff are insulted executives will spend $150 million to buy The Free Press & make self-proclaimed “Zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief, while many of them are set to be laid off. “If I wrote 90 percent of what’s on The Free Press, I would get flagged and fired,” one says.

the whole trans panic in sports is designed to "promote women's sport" without "helping foster and grow women's sport"

Ballhalla looks really fun honestly

look, it is comforting to think that your political opponents are, at the end of the day, just people like you who really want us all to live together as Americans. it's just very obviously not *true* in MAGA's case, as you can tell through, well, what they say and do.

I love clippers fandom. So much fun 10/10.

One of the ways I got into tv and movie criticism was reading Alan’s recaps of The Wire. Sad to see another amazing writer lose their job.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

"It's quite disorienting to watch American institutions obediently line up to display the utmost solemnity for a bigot, whose career achievements were pushing for hatred and violence toward those he saw as inferior to him." defector.com/this-is-who-...

This feels like an example that could have been lifted right out of Khalil Muhammad's Condemnation of Blackness. Non-white criminality is framed as the predictable result of some sort of collective social pathology, while white violence is the result of some private mental failing.

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

they think liberalism is a set of rules for a discourse game, and not a fighting faith and a vision of the good

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

you don’t have to have a take on everything but i will say for the record that gavin newsom’s “continue his work” post is one of the more disgusting things i have ever seen considering that the dead man in question wanted at least ~2.8 million americans eradicated & believed empathy was a sin.

This explains it better than I can

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Two things can be true at once: 1. This format of post is very annoying. 2. Trans rights are human rights.

feeding yourself when you feel miserable is antifascism. taking your hormones is antifascism. checking in on a friend is antifascism. we need to build a true community of care to replace this system which is so disdainful of life itself and all of those things add up

If the only way to further reduce crime off its historic current low is by military occupation, i'd rather have the crime

There's been a desire for the Epstein affair to be an organized conspiracy, and yet it really does seem to have been a pair of predators trying to work their way into elite circles by -- among other things -- providing trafficked girls at parties. The same shit that Diddy was up to, basically

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

The thing about biking is it’s really fun

compare missouri senator eric schmitt to notorious pro-slavery ideologue george fitzhugh

Sabrina Carpenter performed “Tears” at the #VMAs with notorious contestants from Ru Paul’s drag race and advocated for trans inclusivity and protection. 🕺🏾💧💃🏼🪩🏳️‍⚧️

I thought this would just be a "has trans gals and drag queens dancing" but yeah no it is hard to get a clearer message than a few dozen signs saying PROTECT THE DOLLS and TRANS RIGHTS NOW and TRANSPHOBES CAN'T GET LAID Good fuckin work, Sabrina

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

I’m 27!!

This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want. It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.

RFK JR: It's going to have a it's going to it's going to be the biggest infusion of federal dollars into rural health care in American history. SANDERS: You know why? Because you're cutting $150 billion for rural hospitals. You're putting $50 billion back. That's not an infusion.

What a shot from Anisimova

His transphobia needs work someone hasn’t gotten their 10,000 hours in

I, a top chef fan, had no idea Brooke Williamson and Bobby flay were dating lolllll that’s crazy.

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

Being a clippers fan is not easy but I do it so everyone will make fun of me

Mayor Bowser, "shared priorities" with this administration means having masked agents disappear our neighbors in the middle of the night. It means soldiers with assault rifles in our neighborhoods. It means arresting children. These are the priorities of a dictator. DC does not share them.

Not me crying watching this good for her

labor day plug for CANNED, a collection of conversations with folks who lost their jobs. many had no severance, notice, exit ramp, nothing. we need better protection for all workers. at will is bulllshit. employer sponsored healthcare, bullshit. all of it it, complete bullshit. we deserve better.

I also think many people believe they are above social medias toxic aspects. I think it’s important that everyone has boundaries between themselves and social media because you’d be surprised how much it affects you.
