I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files.
But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

Treating this as a good faith essay is missing the point, CNN. This was, from the START, a bad faith effort to get a trans teacher fired and harass her.

She didn't "cite" the Bible. Citations require referencing specific passages relevant to the topic. Writing "the Bible says..." is not a citation.
The teacher was fired for being trans and daring to apply academic standards to a transphobe's transphobic submission. THAT should be in the headline.

Journalists need to learn what "citing" means.
Fullnecky did not "cite the Bible." Citing requires chapter and verse, page, and/or paragraph numbers. She gestured vaguely at the Bible in an attempt to disguise the fact that she had not read the article and fully deserved the zero.

The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

The reality for the other students is that they are no longer enrolled in a psychology class. It is a Psychology plus My Personal Christian Beliefs class.
Every class at OU is now a My Personal Christian Beliefs class.
Every time any student raises such beliefs, instructors have to accept them.

It was an unforgivable dereliction of duty that the majority of elected congressional Republican office holders were not in prison for open insurrection by March 2021.
I think it’s a reflection of their own attitudes. Both Biden and they were trying to live in a fantasy where those 4 years were a return to normalcy as opposed to the most urgent moment in American history to preserve what was left of democracy.

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Just watched the whole 60 Minutes CECOT episode. It's a pretty standard segment for 60 Minutes, taking something that's been reported on in other publications and formats and telling it to a wider audience with first person, on camera accounts. It's not earth shattering, but it is newsworthy.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.
Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

She launched her career trying to get professors fired in the name of academic freedom. Her website publishes a firehose of conservative propaganda in the name of open debate. She is now censoring factual information under the guise of journalistic accuracy.

Bari Weiss’ CBS is what the tech fascists mean by creating “parallel” journalism.
Create new fake brands (“The Free Press”) or hollow out existing brands and replace with right-wing clones.
Or both!
That’s why I included her in the “Mirror World Mafia” last year.
