From mishandling of AIDS to the long-term effects of his shit "trickle-down" economic policies. Or his vile opposition to key civil rights legislation and his offensive racial rhetoric to pass harmful laws.

I’m so tired of cis clinicians playing judge and jury over who gets to be “genuinely” considered Trans while describing their encounters with Trans+ folk in ways that erase all humanity

Honestly, Polanski's strategy of actively drawing attention to how much all of the most venal, morally bankrupt assholes of the universally reviled British media class hate him, and how utterly disdainful he is of them in return is a) excellent political maneuvering, and b) extremely funny.
The Spectator have not yet had a full on right wing melt down.

New: When the Washington Post ran tests on its AI personalized podcasts, the paper found that between 68% and 84% (!!) of the pods had potential issues.
Still, the paper decided to release the product anyway, saying it would “iterate through the remaining issues”

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Mass deportation is a stupid and inhumane policy in its own right but I still think it's important to say, this isn't mass deportation. This is the creation of a national police force that can be sent to anywhere Donald Trump orders under the pretence it is about immigration enforcement

"Conservative views" are the threat and promise of unending violence enatced on people for the crime of making conservatives even momentarily uncomfortable, and they HATE that people have figured this out and are acting accordingly in self-defense.
What conservatives mean when they say they are "under attack for their views" is that they are being accurately understood as the sort of people who hold the sort of views conservatives hold, and that makes them afraid they will be treated the way conservatives treat those whose views they scorn.
The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.
