you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

My dope friend Adrian, who is trans, interviewed 90 transgender Texans. His project is finally out: www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...

We surveyed 90 trans Texans. Most said they’re living in fear and weighing a move

Respondents said anti-trans policies have complicated their sense of home in Texas and pushed them to consider leaving the state.

I’m starting to think they might not have been serious about wanting to stop fentanyl smuggling and child sex trafficking

Bill Grueskin @bgrueskin.bsky.social · 2d

“A federal team in El Paso that once pursued child traffickers has been disbanded.

“A task force in Kansas focused on stemming fentanyl has been redirected.

“Highway checkpoints near the border—on roads identified as major drug-trafficking routes—have gone unstaffed”

"There just isn't enough time. There's only what we manage to make of it-what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken.
I don't want to get used to any of this. I don't want to lose the part of myself that still startles, still aches, still sounds the alarm. But I also want to keep my body. I want to keep my mind. I want to keep my people. I want to make it through.
So I will find a way to keep burning without burning out. I will find moments to breathe, to soften, to hold what's unbearable without letting it hollow me out. The goal is to feel without coming apart.
And to keep going-until we don't have to live like this anymore." - Kelly Hayes

1. This does not target the UK

2. This is clear evidence of being inside a customs union rather than floating alone

3. It was inevitable that Trump's actions at the head of such a large economy would result in dumping elsewhere.. Europe has to be able to take action to counter that.
