heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'.

Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy.

Turning Point USA continues to carry on the sainted work of Charlie Kirk by singling out innocent high school teachers for death threats.

NPR @npr.org · 4d

Math teachers at Cienega High School in Arizona are facing death threats and calls that they be fired after a Turning Point USA employee falsely accused them of wearing Halloween costumes mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Arizona teachers' costumes weren't about Charlie Kirk. They're facing death threats anyway

Why Centrist Democrats Keep Being Wrong About Elections

A new 60-page report insists the party is too radical. But the problem isn’t the party platform. The problem is the broader environment.

I mean they really come close to reality without fully getting there: backlash against teaching US history truthfully is coming from elites disaffected by the reputational costs of that.

I am giving this shit article by this shit journalist in this shit newspaper exactly as much respect as it deserves, because the "critic" whose grievance it adopts is jd motherfucking vance

Majors like Africana studies, or any of its siblings such as women's studies, these critics charge, promote a worldview that sees little to admire in American history. Some disparagingly call the entire field "grievance studies." In a July speech attacking Mr. Mamdani, Vice President JD Vance alluded to his education, and characterized his support from younger, well-educated voters as
the product of "elite disaffection."

They don't have an answer, because they don't ask the question.

It is 2025. If you are a Democratic Party operative in 2025 and you aren't even looking into media ownership and propaganda effects, then you are either a conman or a mark.

New from me:

Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong.

This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

Accusing Jordan Silverman

A D.C. teaching assistant was accused of molesting up to 15 kids. Multiple law enforcement agencies cleared him. But his nightmare was just beginning.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
