The Supreme Court authorizes the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands, on the premise that it's not racist to say that Haitians are poisoning our blood, eat dogs and cats, come from a shithole country and are inferior to people from "Norway and Sweden."

"Don't call for people to be killed" seems a good rule for a social media platform--not because every person's existence is a positive good, but because a site where people are allowed to threaten other people with death will probably be an unhappy place to post. www.popehat.com/p/a-bit-of-t...

"Daniel Sanchez Estrada was convicted of corruptly concealing a document or record. He did not attend the demonstration. "He was sentenced to 30 years in prison." Sanchez allegedly moved a box of anarchist zines out of his parents' house. 30 years. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Fired 60 Minutes-er Cecilia Vega put out this statement: "In recent months, my producing teams and I have experienced efforts to insert political bias into our stories. Reporting teams have held back on submitting story pitches about important news topics out of fear of the internal repercussions."

It is true that you can't solve the housing problem without boosting supply. It is also true, and less often acknowledged, that the existence of supply constraints is a strong argument in favor of rent control.

It was a political hire. We know this because Bari Weiss has almost no qualifications as a broadcast news executive— and her work so far shows that. Now that action is drawing scrutiny from press freedom groups who are also shareholders. @status.news reports: www.status.news/p/paramount-...

The FCC explains that it is trying to take ABC's licenses away not because Jimmy Kimmel joked about Trump, but because Disney isn't hiring enough white people. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...?

The Supreme Court says that the white people of a state can rig elections to keep Black people from being elected so long as the white people don't call themselves the White People Party.

Absolutely incredible

The 1st Amendment wasn't written so we'd feel free wishing each other a happy birthday. It was written so we'd feel free saying sharp and difficult things, such as stating plainly that the president of the United States is a convicted felon who is trying to destroy American democracy.

I was doing research for a different post about the WHCD incident when I came across a claim so bizarre from the @nytimes.com that I had to write it up. fair.org/home/action-...

“It really does highlight the weakness of our media system. To have a media system that is built on profit as the highest goal is incredibly fragile, because it’s very easy for the government to affect the profits of corporations.” — Jim @naureckas.bsky.social fair.org/home/a-media...

Minnesota, Hennepin County and Minneapolis need to start issuing arrest warrants--for John Does if need be. The murders will continue until local authorities stand up to the thugs.

Media writers who pretend they don't know who is lying are not journalists but propagandists.

The involvement of Lina Khan in the Mamdani administration is a very positive development. Probably the biggest way New Yorkers could benefit from antitrust action is in stopping the collusion among landlords, which has a tremendous impact on inflating rents. www.semafor.com/article/11/1...?

“'We don’t make them like this anymore,' Meacham said, implying this is a bad thing." theintercept.com/2025/11/04/d...

Mamdani can't recognize a nearly 50-year-old pop song. But then, Newsday caption writers can't spell "Mamdani."

John Dickerson pays the price for questioning CBS's capitulation to MAGA: “Can you hold power to account after paying it millions? Can an audience trust you when it thinks you’ve traded away that trust?” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

Fun fact: Tammy Baldwin, one of the four Democratic senators who the #NYTimes claims won because they were "moderates," has the 6th leftmost voting record in the Senate.

A glimpse of the kind of journalism we can expect from CBS News now that it’s controlled by MAGA billionaire Larry Ellison’s nepo baby and anti-“woke” ideologue Bari Weiss From FAIR's Jim @naureckas.bsky.social fair.org/home/cbss-su...

Saying that “this administration always wins” when it makes emergency appeals to the Supreme Court was “obviously false,” CBS's Jan Crawford offered "one high-profile example"--there's only 2 to choose from--and she gets that one wrong. fair.org/home/cbss-su...

@nytimes.com : "Mr. Trump and administration officials have long championed free speech, but their actions—as well as their promises since Charlie Kirk’s killing—to guarantee it have been replaced by efforts to quash criticism." When did Trump administration actions guarantee free speech?

These performances of debate-unity only reach the NYT audience. Meanwhile, the leaders of the Right are signaling to their supporters that the time for a comprehensive crackdown on the “enemy within” has come. Klein isn’t doing anything to defuse the situation - he’s obscuring the problem.

I suspect the supposed text messages released by the FBI are a reconstruction of how the roommate remembers the exchange, created with the help of FBI interrogators. Thus the stilted language and the way it serves prosecutorial needs--without being something the roommate will disavow in court.

”Self-professed defenders of free speech have become the most fervent advocates and agents of government censorship in the twenty-first century.” @pastpunditry.bsky.social

The leading voices of MAGA are ready to declare a police state over the killing of Charlie Kirk -- carried out, as it appears, by someone even further right than Kirk.

During the Holocaust, the @nytimes.com shamefully buried news of the mass murder of Jews in its back pages, sometimes tucked in at the end of unrelated articles. With genocide scholars saying a new genocide is happening in #Gaza, the Times is behaving the same way. fair.org/home/nyt-bur...
