Pretty wild that there apparently is zero recourse for a constituency when House leadership refuses to swear in their elected representative.

'Unlearn the lies about women," BWIM preacher urges baptistnews.com/article/unle... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

There are no words for how evil this is

Shocking that these worries would come from a newspaper owned by <checks notes> the world's fourth richest man and executive chairman of a retailer that employs over a million people in the US

the NYC mayor's election is over but the WaPo's whining definitely is not

can't stop won't stop

WaPo editorial page: It is not our job to endorse a candidate in a national election Also WaPo editorial page: It is our job to complain repeatedly about a mayoral candidate in an entirely different city

Wow, sounds like Jeff Bezos is mad (from A Washington Post editorial entitled "Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party")

The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry. The fucking arrogance.

Did Knee-Jerk Contrarianism Ruin the New York Times?

it's not complicated: some guys (who, somehow, remain influential and comparatively powerful) are feeling powerless again and are trying to make it anyone else's problem but theirs

"should women work" but it really means "should men have to ever answer to or even encounter women who are not their wives, offspring, and/or other servile figures"

Just an illustration of how lazy and shoddy Douthat's guests are: No, there isn't really much of a convo going on about changing the women's NCAA 3 point line, and the players don't want to. In fact, men shot 35% from 3 in all of the NCAA last year, and women shot 33%, so not a radical difference.

Broads: Are They Really People? Join us tomorrow at nytimes.com as Ross Douthat and a Neanderthal model we swiped from the Smithsonian investigate.

His questions and conversations rarely reveal any kind of honest inquiry, but instead are a way to push the boundaries of how one group of people ought to be acknowledged as inferior to another, and how the lesser group should therefore have fewer rights, in some very concrete way.

Douthat is a slimy creep, particularly on the subject of women, as he’s shown for a long time now. NYT editors are showing their asses when they publish and promote his “just asking questions” retrograde misogyny year after year.

One thing you see in the 1940s and 1950s is that the posters emphasize procedural aspects of the program - don't lose your card! make sure your employer has the right SSN! adjust your name after marriage! - but the key purpose is "Don't Lose Benefits."

The Social Security Administration used to have an incredible communications arm, including even a film unit. This was crucial in helping people understand the program, and how it would work. From 1936, 1939. www.ssa.gov/history/puba...

compare to this to their very upbeat reaction to the 2021 elections

The individuals who are the “deciders” of “what is (is not) fit to print”: AGSulzberger, Kahn, Ryan, Lacey, Healy, Kingsbury+ escape much-warranted criticism behind the institutional mantle. We think NYT leadership needs to be named & shamed for their “product”. From democracywashing fascism to 👇

The question being asked by the NYT after an election that promoted MANY women to power. It’s not a question. It’s a comment. An attack.

Looks like the attention-grabbing headline worked. And now edits being made by NYT. NYT editors not documenting their edits for posterity is shameful: -why -by who Thankfully @nytdiff.bsky.social is doing a civic service. (Thank you). See the thread as NYT makes edits. bsky.app/profile/nytd...

The hed now reads "Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace" and the dek reads "And if so, can conservative feminism fix it?" ✌🏾Conservative feminism✌🏾 is an oxymoron.

A few post election thoughts: 1. Progressive wins in Mpls council and park board races was greatly aided by a robust mayoral race. In that sense Fateh, Davis, and Hampton assisted the overall mission. 4 years ago Frey won the council along with reelection. This time he won but lost down ballot.

the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

My last election take i promise. If you look at the neighborhoods Cuomo won they tend to be areas that historically vote conservative. Meaning while the Democratic party leaders were treating Cuomo still as one of their own, many voters themselves were voting as though Cuomo was a republican

Some on the far right want to repeal the 19th amendment. Many more share a coercive, patriarchal view of women. I wrote about this and how the far right sees subjugating women as key to building the sort of electorate they need to win. @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/women-should...

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Amazing how much 2025 was a hyper correction for the fact that in 2024 voters clearly didn't know what they were voting for because the media didn't report on Trump's actual policies/voters refused to believe what they were voting for.

I’m sure it’s just coincidence, but it really seems like once a publication partners with an ai company, they start featuring a lot more stories like this.

This is the most insane paragraph I've read in a mainstream paper maybe ever Heritage Foundation authored Project 2025. Russ Vought was VP at Heritage Action. What in the literal fuck are you talking about

Ok but also imagine the New York GD Times putting LITERALLY ANY OTHER IDENTITY GROUP in that headline. Did [racial group X] ruin the workplace? Did gays ruin the workplace? Wanna know how normal and fun and edgy sexism is? There’s your answer.

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

Trump's base loves him and that will never change, but he doesn't win the popular vote without quite a lot of people outside that base voting for him because of "economy" or "our memories are like goldfish" or whatever those people have started to remember: oh yeah, we fucking hate Donald Trump

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”
