3. After months of pressure, Avelo Airlines has ended their contract with ICE. This is the result of TONS of organizing from partners and Indivisible groups who have used their consumer power to force Avelo into noncompliance with the regime.

I was first unsettled, then increasingly furious at the New York Times' coverage of the death of Lia Smith. Here's a thread sharing some trily despicable choices made by @julietmacur.bsky.social in writing about this young woman's suicide.
The New York Times described a harrassment campaign that helped drive a young trans woman to suicide as "online criticisms."

The New York Times published a story covering the death of trans athlete, Lia Smith, but takes no responsibility for the ways their coverage of trans issues has fed the moral panic that caused it.

Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities!
Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

So, it's been a while but I'm pretty sure of this, Goebbels remarked in his diary that their regime didn't need to go out of their way to manipulate the press. They'd show up to the briefings and dutifully repeat whatever they said. Anyway.
Three videos taken of the scene and reviewed by CNN, however, show nuance. What took place prior to the shooting remains unclear. | Analysis

The NYT is becoming even more unhinged. I’m glad I cancelled my subscription ages ago, and would advise anyone who is not a complete bigot to do the same.
They won't even use the term transgender regarding their coverage in this statement, they use the term gender identity.
I think the Times might be making a shift towards an editorial stance that pathologizes trans people.

I can't speak about the details publicly but the lengths that the Times will go to in order to silence criticism of their coverage is extensive. They will try and crush whoever gets in their way.
