This is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.
The CBS reporter who led the story calls pulling it a "political" decision.
"The decision was made after Bari Weiss, the new editor in chief of CBS News, requested numerous changes to the segment."

Maybe it's in the paper, but the financial crisis and the GOP's response to Obama's election seem like obvious factors that might make 2008 an inflection point.
A new PNAS paper finds that polarization increased immediately after the invention of smartphones and the advent of social media, which both appeared around the same year, 2008.

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!

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

And people wonder why women don’t feel comfortable working in the trades.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Let's be clear what this image represents.
Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.
THAT is the reference here.

got this quote at a neo-Nazi event at the University of Florida in 2017, & in the nearly 8 years since it goes viral like this every few months — I suspect because it's a pretty good summation of where the GOP has gone

I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is.
The *only period* when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.
