downwardly mobile educated alienated elite-adjacents clearly are a large part of the contemporary american left's constituency, but it's such a stupid thing to have a complex about or considering particularly damming. read like any history book ever about who starts political movements.

same with YIMBY stuff. yeah, it's the most privileged people still being squeezed by the problem who usually lead efforts against it. do you think the leadership of historical political movements were representative cross-sections of the people impacted?

NYT editors put "Claudine Gay" in "top 5 featured on the New York Times homepage Dec 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 22, 25"
(While they put Trump calling for Constitution's "termination" on page 15 and his chief of staff's "tyrant" warning on 12)
Christopher Rufo openly bragged about the plans!

There's a tendency among a certain type of poster to assume everything they hate about politics and the state can be blamed on avarice, and I'm here to tell you it's actually worse than that.
I continue to disagree with this. The goal of mass detention is mass deportations. A private prison company leasing 100 beds to ICE gets paid the same if the beds are filled by 100 people for a year each or 1,000 people for a few days each. They don't earn more with long-term detention.
It's not about deporting them. It's about detaining them indefinitely and enriching Prisons for Profiteers and the grift the Convict in the Oval Office collects per detainee.

Also, very funny how the Dems keep trying to do this “release the Epstein files!” thing as a naked base pander in mimicry of the other side’s conspiratorial muckraking, and then the files actually do get released, and it’s like “oh wait Trump really is all over these things, he really did it huh”

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

I think the struggle here is folks wanting transparency like a judicial system but not realizing that a non-government body doesn't have the same protections from libel for making an accusation. Maybe it makes sense here tactically, but the precedent is actually not one they can follow through on

Suspension reasons are sometimes also libel (like, in the extreme case, incorrectly saying they posted child sexual abuse material). If you're only willing to say sometimes, the lack of saying allows people to "figure out" what the reason was. You just don't talk about suspension reasons. You don't.
regardless of the specific policy being violated or the enforcement procedure, publicly discussing suspension reasons is such a rookie move
