“Oh, well I just told you about it, so now like all of the rest of us who pay attention to what’s going on, you know all about it. You just heard it, from me, and you know. You’re all caught up. So to repeat: does this concern you?”
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

The naked racism with which US media is "cleaning house" of anything that might offend Trumpists is quite staggering to behold. People who've been waiting 60 years to kick the civil rights movement in the teeth, unleashed and unashamed.
No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

It’s fascinating comparing the front page coverage of the Huntingdon train attack (below) with how the British press treated another case 30 years ago.

I’m referring to the 1995 Netto supermarket attack in Birmingham in which a man stabbed 10 people, killing one of them.

interesting thread. Reminds me of when I did my dissertation in the early 90s and I went back through near on 40 years of British newspapers and it was very noticeable how little reporting of individual crimes featured - particularly the broadsheets, but even the tabloids featured it less than today

I simply don’t understand the minds of people like Bari Weiss

how fucked up do you have to be to spend all your time pretending you’re a Real Journalist and then you get put in charge of a huge media outlet and immediately do propaganda

yeah, yeah, the hypocrisy is the point, but fucking hell

Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This is more or less where I am. Would I vote Mamdani in normal times? No. Would I support him over fascists and their throne-sniffing toadies? Fucking absolutely.

Nobody stopped Freddie Oversteegen to ask if she was a socialist when she was luring Nazis into the woods and killing them.

Israel bans UNRWA, Marco Rubio agrees, the ICJ says its work is vital.

#R4Today doesn't talk to them much now.

29 October 2024 - discussion of Israel's law to ban UNRWA

In #Gaza, nearly 75,000 displaced people are sheltering in over 100 UNRWA buildings — many damaged and overcrowded.

UNRWA teams work tirelessly to keep shelters safe and dignified, providing water, sanitation, waste collection, and hygiene support every day.

Cool how even senior GOP politicians now openly admit that the Republicans have a “Hitler sucks” wing and also another one that is not that

To the NY Post, having a spouse who is a source of support and love is a scandal.
Per NYPost's scoop, some of the ways Mamdani's wife has "quietly steered" his campaign are weighing in on his logo design, being "a major source of support for him in private" and once posting on Instagram, "Couldn't possibly be prouder."
[the NY Post scrambling to make a last-ditch scandal:]

"umm, uhhh, his aloof wife Rama Duwaji secretly ran the campaign"

Abbott's joke about putting a tariff on people makes sense if you read it in the context of hoping to be able to own people again.
They’ve all gone mad.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott: “After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.”

Notice, here, how this despicable administration is leaning hard into "noticing us racially profiling is inciting violence against us and everyone we stop is a violent criminal." Just the absolute scum of the Earth.

Donald Trump just now posts a full-throated endorsement of Andrew Cuomo on TruthSocial: "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job."
