One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.
The combination of having a stupid and destructive idea and the unearned confidence to boast and preen about it is not new, but in the RFK Jr. era, these guys have all gotten so LOUD.
In any case, this editor belongs nowhere near journalism, and for "ingest" alone, he should be invited to retire.
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.
Abolish the billionaire class:

Following the arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, CJS would like to remind journalists/the public their rights to record public events, free from gov. retaliation and assert journalist privilege–even when gov. authorities attempt to intimidate or silence reporting.
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
just following orders
so about 12 hours after the media breathlessly writes “trump shifts tone” stories hes essentially encouraging assassination and threatening to jail the minneapolis mayor
“Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.”
💔💔💔
The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office.
Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today.
How are you doing?
There are no consequences, journalistically speaking, for being banned from press conferences that are widely televised and entirely performative. This kind of access gets them nothing. And they shouldn't be fired; their bosses should back them.

New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok!
So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵

"Emphasizes Religion"???
They violated the Constitution by using official government accounts to post things like "We are blessed to share a nation and a Savior."
Shame on you for whitewashing this lawless, Christian supremacist regime, @nytimes.com.
Every society that has ever existed has had views that are mainstream and views that are fringe. The free-speech frauds who captured the discourse over the past decade understood this, but their true objection was that they did not unilaterally have the power to define which was which. For example, in a 2018 Times column, Weiss complained that “leftists” were engaged in a “concerted attempt to significantly redraw the bounds of acceptable thought and speech.” This was meant to sound sinister, menacing. In fact, this is politics. Every faction is always trying to “redraw the bounds of acceptable thought and speech.” In a free society, the government allows people to have those arguments. Such disputes are not a threat to free speech; they are free speech.
When I say that CBS News’s Bari Weiss understood this, you needn’t take my word for it. In November, shortly after being given the reins to one of the oldest broadcast-news organizations in the country, Weiss used identical language to describe her own project: “I think it’s about redrawing the lines of what falls in the 40-yard lines of acceptable debate and acceptable American politics and culture,” Weiss said at the Jewish Leadership Conference. “And I don’t mean that in, like, a censorious, gatekeeping way.” What’s the difference between her “redrawing the lines” of acceptable speech and other people doing it? What makes one “censorious” and “gatekeeping” and the other not? Well, because she gets to decide. That’s what so much of the free-speech panic was ever about: making sure the right people were in charge of what you see, hear, and read. Notably, this has very little to do with reporting the news, which is supposed to be what CBS News does. But if the point of installing Weiss was to ensure that she would gatekeep on behalf of right-wing interests, that is precisely what she appears to be doing.
The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?
BREAKING: The CDC’s vaccine advisory panel just voted to drop the hepatitis B birth dose from its recommendations.
This move strips away a proven safeguard for newborns and reverses long-standing, evidence-based policy.
A disaster for public health.
This is the most important op-ed you'll read this week. The Trump administration is about to get rid of the birth-dose of hepatitis B vaccine. That is a deadly choice for many families. @helenouyang.bsky.social tells her story. Now call your member of Congress. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/o...

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!
I know how hard you worked for this.
Imagine thinking domestic violence isn’t “really serious”
😡😡😡😡
Every word of this is worth reading. These people are not outliers in young MAGA leadership. The person you are when you think you can get away with saying anything is the real you.
I'm not usually quick to shout "Boycott!" but...yeah, walk away and never look back.
In the wake of their crossover hit Can I Be Frank?, anti-Zionist activist and performance artist Morgan Bassichis is poised to carry their lineage of radical politics to the main stage.

Just Trump declaring war on a US city, a normal Saturday
Again:Journalists are not stenographers. We are to get information, report and verify the facts, and then report the reality not the talking point. What Trump is doing in DC and threatening in cities is NOT a crime crack down because he says it is. Don’t regurgitate. Report the truth not propaganda.
