A big part of why the Right is furious at White women right now is because they're increasingly using their Whiteness as shield and a weapon and it's honestly fucking great.

“Huge internal concern” among CBS staff over that “internal bleeding” story.

![The network’s top editor, Bari Weiss, expressed a high level of interest in the story on an editorial call Wednesday morning, according to staffers who listened.
“There was big internal dissension about the ‘internal bleeding’ report here last night,” the CBS News staffer, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said . “It was viewed as a thinly-veiled, anonymous leak by [the Trump administration] to someone who’d carry it online.”
“Felt to many here like we were carrying water for the admin’s justifying of the shooting to keep our access to our sources,” said a second network staffer, who was also not authorized to comment.

He was put in prison and forced to listen to over 300 hangings, before which the prison would sing to soothe the victims. "I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”
He used his doctoral thesis to expose Apartheid South Africa's secret nuclear program and then included detailed instructions in his forced confession, which a judge read aloud in court, on how to sabotage all of the critical facilities.
Holy hell, what an obituary

50% of Conservatives are traitors — and the other 50% enable them.
The CPC either needs to split into two separate parties, or enact serious change from within. Either way, Maple MAGA needs a new home.
Because, right now, their very existence is a threat to Canada.
