‘“I no longer consider Columbia University a safe place to work for Jews who dare to dissent from the political agenda of its most ardently pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian donors and trustees,” wrote Joseph Howley, a classics professor, in his claim.’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

Visas revoked for journalistic outlet board members who criticized Trump allies. Very bad for First Amendment freedoms of the press & to speak truth to power. Fits alongside the attacks on Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, & tech researchers for their free speech. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/w...

Senate Republicans voted against lowering out-of-pocket health care costs, reversing cuts to food programs, and a measure to lower rising electricity prices in their budget blueprint. But they voted to give Trump’s ICE thugs $70 billion to keep terrorizing our communities. Priorities.

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

Wow

Two days before Hungary’s election, Trump pledges to buy votes for Viktor Orban with US taxpayer dollars.

Israel and the U.S. destroyed Tehran's Rafi-Niya synagogue in a bombing strike. Top notch work, assholes. 👍

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Stunningly bullshit framing on this NYT story that insists that somehow renewables are a dicy unpredictable thing and downplays that they're far, far cheaper most of the time by focusing on how they're not always. As is often the case with the NYT, comments smarter than article.

I think often too many of us sort of mock or deride it as par for the course—which in one sense it is—and don’t recognize it as an escalation, which it is also is. I’ve been writing on these issues for years. Hegseth is by far the most militant Christian nationalist at this echelon of power.

Hard to overstate how repulsive this is. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

The combination of having a stupid and destructive idea and the unearned confidence to boast and preen about it is not new, but in the RFK Jr. era, these guys have all gotten so LOUD. In any case, this editor belongs nowhere near journalism, and for "ingest" alone, he should be invited to retire.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Following the arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, CJS would like to remind journalists/the public their rights to record public events, free from gov. retaliation and assert journalist privilege–even when gov. authorities attempt to intimidate or silence reporting.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

just following orders

so about 12 hours after the media breathlessly writes “trump shifts tone” stories hes essentially encouraging assassination and threatening to jail the minneapolis mayor

“Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.” 💔💔💔

The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office. Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today. How are you doing?

There are no consequences, journalistically speaking, for being banned from press conferences that are widely televised and entirely performative. This kind of access gets them nothing. And they shouldn't be fired; their bosses should back them.

GOP taking its talking points these days directly from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s state media

New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok! So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-nyt-re...

"Emphasizes Religion"??? They violated the Constitution by using official government accounts to post things like "We are blessed to share a nation and a Savior." Shame on you for whitewashing this lawless, Christian supremacist regime, @nytimes.com.

The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

BREAKING: The CDC’s vaccine advisory panel just voted to drop the hepatitis B birth dose from its recommendations. This move strips away a proven safeguard for newborns and reverses long-standing, evidence-based policy. A disaster for public health.

This is the most important op-ed you'll read this week. The Trump administration is about to get rid of the birth-dose of hepatitis B vaccine. That is a deadly choice for many families. @helenouyang.bsky.social tells her story. Now call your member of Congress. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/o...

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

Imagine thinking domestic violence isn’t “really serious”

😡😡😡😡

Every word of this is worth reading. These people are not outliers in young MAGA leadership. The person you are when you think you can get away with saying anything is the real you.

I'm not usually quick to shout "Boycott!" but...yeah, walk away and never look back.

Just Trump declaring war on a US city, a normal Saturday

Again:Journalists are not stenographers. We are to get information, report and verify the facts, and then report the reality not the talking point. What Trump is doing in DC and threatening in cities is NOT a crime crack down because he says it is. Don’t regurgitate. Report the truth not propaganda.

Support The City’s crucial and excellent reporting!

@jamellebouie.net nails the problem with the Very Serious Pundits who just make up a (usually black) DC resident as a shield for their own thoughts on crime: (reposting with alt text and gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/o...

FFS, can we please not make the 3/5 clause great again?

Johnson becomes the highest-ranking US official to visit an illegal settlement in the occupied Palestinian territory.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Trump’s Texas gerrymander would give Republicans nearly 80% of seats in state where he got 56% of vote This is direct result of John Roberts & conservative SCOTUS majority gutting Voting Rights Act & refusing to stop blatant partisan gerrymandering www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I’m going to go poison some pigeons in the park in tribute to him. (Look it up.) He made us laugh and think. Thank you, Tom.
