How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US:
Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire.

The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor β€” it's because we can't satisfy the rich.

We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

When you are growing up & learn that your mother's relatives were NSDAP members +/or in German military, you can only become an anti-fascist & democratic socialist (at 12) to defend democracy against enemies foreign & domestic as US failed to do. My beliefs have only grown deeper & stronger in time.

Real men don’t punch down, and they especially don’t punch down at women.

This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters β€” the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!

Asked whether he would attend the funeral of a slain National Guard soldier, President Trump shifted to comments about his popularity in her home state, a moment critics say reignited concerns from mental health professionals.

Emily Maitlis brags about her, Deb Cohen, and Hannah Barnes getting the Tavistock GIDS service shut down.

What she doesn't talk about is how Newsnight journalists manufactured outrage and concocted "scandals" based on unethical journalism - which they were called out for, but tried to hide...

This article by @schooldaves.bsky.social provides an excellent rundown on the very grim constraints of the municipal bond market that Mamdani will face. Running a state under capitalism and trying to do anything besides serving capital is very, very hard. We have to get out altogether

Big budget anti-Semitic propaganda, Veit Harlan's Jud Süß was released in late 1940 in Germany, followed by a roll-out meant to inflame population of Nazi-occupied nations. (It was also shown to concentration camp guards) Unlike Leni R, Harlan was charged w crimes against humanity after the WW2.

"If you support trans rights" yet you platform someone who thinks trans people should be treated as separate from society?

By putting a transphobe in a powerful, senior position @yourparty.bsky.social is killing itself.

After everything @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social has said about supporting trans people's human rights this totally undermines his credibility.

Corbyn's USP was his authenticity. That has now gone. 😒

For anyone who believes that part the Trump agenda about stamping out antisemitism-

Don’t be so stupid.

They don’t care about you or anyone else that doesn’t meet their racist definition of white. Talking to you, Stephen Miller.

Contacting influencers about WAGE cuts and I can tell you 95% of them who have built their platforms on women’s empowerment do not give AF about women, it’s a brand, entirely.
