Her whole thing is “No, it is the executives who are actually oppressed.”
Once you view any decision she makes through that lens, everything makes sense, including how she’s gotten to where she is.

In 2022, Bari Weiss ran this viral first-person piece by a top Levi’s executive. She claimed she was hounded out of the company because of her vocal stance on COVID restrictions.
There are no quotes from the company. Or her colleagues.
Not even a “no comment.”

Yesterday I Was Levi’s Brand President. I Quit So I Could Be Free.
I turned down $1 million severance in exchange for my voice.

i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

Hey, you guys?
Is it a good sign or a bad sign if a federal judge has to remind you (multiple times) that you’re a lawyer and an officer of the court?

Immergut: You're an officer of the court. Do you believe this is appropriate way to deal with my order?
Hamilton: I'm not a policy maker
Immergut: You're a lawyer
In response, Hamilton basically argues no geographic limit to federalization of CA guard...

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

Remember Tianamen, when the Chinese government brought in troops from the outlying territories to keep the peace, so they wouldn’t mind firing on Beijingers as much?? Good times
Have heard from multiple sources that they’re eager to deploy red state national guard to dc. Likely first of many. And others probably from much further afield
West Virginia Governor says he’s deploying WV National Guard to Washington DC
He says they’ll be “providing mission-essential equipment, specialized training, and approximately 300-400 skilled personnel as directed. The mission will be funded at the federal level.”

I remember a bunch of people losing their shit over companies getting ESG ratings that told investors if the company was having an environmentally negative impact or if the board wasn’t being transparent about its practices but I guess the allegiance to Trump meter is fine
