I’m Irish, take insults like this as compliments. She is in fact emblematic of the central role women play in Rapid Response work. Regular folks who drop what they’re doing to protect their neighbors. They do heroic work. The example they set keeps me going; they’re my sheroes.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

This is not the first US imperial atrocity for oil —let’s not exceptionalize it— but wow is is it awful. And the violation of Venezuelans domestically in the name of a sovereign borders they actually dgaf about.
As Aimee Cesaire put it— the price of imperialism is the empire’s own civilization.

There is no moral, legal, or political justification for the US to attack Caracas. None.
Don’t entertain the musings or of those who claim otherwise. This is a city of 3.2 million people, and their lives are not fodder for parlor debates.

Trans communities warned for years about the NYT's transphobia, but the specifics of how this was ordered were often shrouded behind corporate hierarchy.

![You've talked about the paper's treatment of the pretty infamous Cass report, especially from your spot at the international desk. What happened in that case?
It wasn't on my radar as much as it ought to have been. I was starting to wind down my time. I left the Times at the end of May of that year. There was an awareness that [Hilary] Cass was coming out with a report. The day before it officially came out, there was a lot of coverage in the BBC and UK media. Cass was already talking about it before its official release.
The day editor's counterparts are in Seoul and London. My counterpart in London — who was actually filling in that day, but did so on a regular basis — assigned a UK reporter to do a story.
That was standard practice, to be clear.
[Chuckling] There’s so many examples of how standard it was. She assigned it to a UK correspondent, who wrote it in the context of UK politics, talked about it being very contentious, talked about the criticisms of its findings. Cass was talking about them herself, this isn't jumping to any conclusions at that point. It really put it in the context of being this very contentious, very political sort of document.
When I saw it, because we're a few hours behind, there were 600, 700 words written. I had a pretty good sense of how the story was going to turn out. But within a few hours the story was to the top New York editors, and I don't know who exactly it was who did that. I assume it was Carolyn or her intermediary. They said ‘oh no, we want the science desk to do that,’ specifically that was Azeen [Ghorayshi], who had been a key reporter in a lot of the other anti-trans coverage.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gm2gj4v7isgrlsww3ya7hpy2/bafkreiauimpnoaneahu2xoujps44cnvpgrbuuweyq764hwvswkize3jr7a@jpeg)
