DHS has again tweeted literal nazi propaganda. "We Will Have Our Home Again" is a popular slogan used regularly within the white nationalist sphere, based on a song of the same title. In Portland 2022, now-defunct nazi group RCN hung a banner with the phrase. Antifascists repainted it the same day.

Portland Police Press conference on the shooting of 2 Portlanders: -DHS said the victims had been involved with a shooting. Nope! -But they were def part of Tren de Aragua -actually no -But TdA is real and active in Portland -We can't name single crime TdA has been involved with in this city

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Bari will never explicitly say "it's fine for masked agents of the state to murder civilians." But she will say, again and again, that the people who are upset about masked agents of the state murdering civilians are hysterical, illegitimate, censorious liars.

JOHN EASTMAN DID J6 pass it on

RT this if you know that John Eastman did J6

"The issues" are not immutable. Americans do not come out of the womb arguing about trans girls in Division III volleyball. The issues are what you make them. The issues are what you're loudest about. Create the conversation around these murderers' war crimes, don't equivocate, and don't let up.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US seizure of Nicolas Maduro - 5 January This video claims to show Venezuelans toppling and dragging a statue of former president Hugo Chavez. But the video was filmed during anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 and the statue is Indio Coromoto.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

I wrote about Grok's CSAM problem and how journalists keep fumbling the story www.readtpa.com/p/grok-cant-...

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

For those who need a reminder, a simple message from @alyssaur.bsky.social www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I will drop this. But before I do, I have to note that it is excruciatingly clear that Ken is really mad that my reporting highlighted FIRE’s ties to big right-wing money. He’s comparing the revelations of publicly available tax filings as something akin to a “Pharma-Rothschild conspiracy.”

NEW: A prominent free speech group helped right-wing dark money score a legal win against an Ohio school board and its anti-bullying policy, which protected transgender and nonbinary students. www.importantcontext.news/p/how-a-free...

Full disclosure: Ken White, a lawyer I quote in this story, is claiming I took him out of context. The assertion is without merit. You can see the exact email here.

My latest newsletter is about the spiked 60 Minutes story and the reactionary psychology of Bari Weiss.

Therapists push back as the anti-trans group Therapy First has slipped its way into providing continuing education to medical professionals. @veraeikon.bsky.social provides original reporting for this story exclusively on Assigned Media.

The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I wrote about Bari Weiss, 60 Minutes, CBS News, and what all of this says about the state of mainstream media. www.readtpa.com/p/the-kill-s...

PBS FRONTLINE's "Surviving CECOT" is incredible, disturbing, moving, and they didn't self censor.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

From the Epstein files… Epstein threatening to burn someone’s house down if they revealed he stole photos of young girls and sold them and had other photos taken. Click Alt-Text if you can’t read.

The Epstein Files, everybody!

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

These are the people who are willing to go on the record. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.

Had the three Dems who voted for this held the line and voted no, they could have blocked it.

Are you a fan of trans journalism? Are you an enjoyer of ranked lists? If you are either of those things, or both, we've got the end of year feature for you. Read our list of the best ten and worst five examples of journalism on trans issues of 2025. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

This also happened during Trump’s first term. That 2024 dip? That’s when Democrats went on the defensive, and let Trump and MAGA dictate the immigration narrative. Why, it’s almost as if political leadership (good and bad) can actually drive public opinion, instead of always following it.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs. Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

This exchange drives me nuts. Neither the interviewer nor Bazelon acknowledges that 1) abortion rights are really popular! and 2) what ICE is doing is hugely unpopular!

Hi Ben I'm not actually saying anything about you I'm just posting to say made you look.

NEW: FIRE positions itself as an alternative voice for free expression, but an analysis by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social found deference to religious-based viewpoints in free speech debates — and in some cases, the elevation of those views over all others. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

As promised in this week's episode about Olivia Nuzzi, here is the YouTube exclusive video about the journalists caught being chummy with Jeffrey Epstein in the emails released last week. youtu.be/2WJlBCGjKT0

Ever wonder why the New York Times abandoned balance and impartiality to lead an old-fashioned newspaper crusade against trans equal rights? In one of our most read stories for the year, @evanurquhart.bsky.social took readers behind the scenes at NYT. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

We know everyone is asking for your money this month, but here's a twist: We're NOT asking you to donate in December, we're asking you to spread the word. Help the trans people and allies who don't know Assigned Media's reputation for excellence and originality in trans news find us!

An inependent review of medical evidence on trans youth healthcare found substantial evidence of benefit, and no evidence of harm. This was one of our top stories this year. Legacy news, who extensively covered a review finding the opposite, ignored this. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss: It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!! www.burnsnotice.com/that-viral-e...

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

NEW: Multiple judges call out DOJ's methods of defending its invasive trans care subpoenas. A trio of public rulings, including one on Friday, all side with providers. Two rulings also raised sharp questions about DOJ's moves in recent months. Tonight, at Law Dork:

This is very good. Clear, calm, factual, and devastating for proponents of bans on puberty blockers for trans youth. theconversation.com/puberty-bloc...

The “Pathways” trial is, IMO on more than one level, a thoroughly unethical piece of “research” to be carrying out on children, especially children who are part of a marginalised minority.

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? MAMDANI: I've spoken about-- TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI
