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.

In the wake of their crossover hit Can I Be Frank?, anti-Zionist activist and performance artist Morgan Bassichis is poised to carry their lineage of radical politics to the main stage. Read Alisa Solomon's (@alisasolomon.bsky.social) profile: jewishcurrents.org/can-morgan-b...

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.

I Watched It Happen in Hungary. Now It’s Happening Here. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/o...

Pro-Israel politics have so warped the priorities of the Jewish institutional world that the World Jewish Congress is praising Trump's decision to withdraw from UNESCO... even though the Director-General of UNESCO, a French Moroccan Mizrahi Jew, says this will hobble funding for Holocaust education.

Oh my God.

Trump just opened an American concentration camp, has heavily armed, masked forces grab moms in parking lots and sent migrants to certain death in Sudan (SUDAN!!) but it's the democrats fault we are where we are!? COME ON NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/06/u...

Not just bothsidesism, but bothsidesism about their own unethical practice. tl;dr: We reported a politically motivated smear story. Those who want to capitalize on the smear liked it; others didn’t. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/04/n...

Consulting on ethnic cleansing.

Follow @thecity.nyc. We relentlessly investigate people in power & when we have the goods on them, whatever their political position, we hit publish. What we don't do: Publish crap.

Pretty much sums up the paper of record at this point.

Well now let’s wait for the task force to weigh in on this one before we rush to judgment

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy... "That's just how it is."

This isn’t over—we can still stop the GOP bill. I’m staying in the fight for every baby who shouldn’t go hungry. Every senior who shouldn’t get kicked out of a nursing home. Every American who shouldn’t lose their health care. Now is the time to call your senators.

Seems like Trump’s most powerful advisor being a white nationalist should inspire greater alarm than the possible mayor of new york being pro palestinian rights

I'm hearing a lot of "Jews in New York are scared" today. So, a couple of thoughts: 1) Jews should be angry, not scared. We were targeted with a relentless, heavily funded barrage of lies playing off of real fears of antisemitism by a man who came within 7 points of winning. That reeks of contempt.>

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

And I’m sure Congress found out at the same time we did, via Truth Social.

Bill Ackman and Palantir giving to any Democratic candidate is an automatic NOPE for me and candidly I am trying to figure out how any Democrat sees this otherwise I find Cuomo nauseating

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

@bradlander.bsky.social has been regularly doing accompaniments and volunteering as a legal observer. ICE clearly singled him out to punish him for bringing attention to what they are doing. This is political persecution.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

@stephanienolen.bsky.social's piece on the destruction of the South African biomedical research effort by the Trump Administration is a must-read. Please circulate. This is a disaster for South Africa AND the world. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/h...

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

This headline would have had fit in just the same space: Calls for Restraint in L.A. After Police Shootings Injure Journalists

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

They’re freeloaders (but they’re kidnapping them at their jobs) and they’re a burden on the country (but they’re using their tax info to track them down) and they’re only trying to deport the “illegals” (but they’re seeking people out at immigration hearings)
