Going independent has meant having the freedom to say that ICE is kidnapping people, to describe our government as authoritarian, and to say more directly when fascism is happening.
I hope we'll start to see this more in large newsrooms before it's too late.

this thread is such a great example of this tendency. instead of just arguing against the thing you don't like ("I think we should be allowed to drive over the speed limit") making up a bunch of other objections that you don't actually believe but you think sound more sympathetic
Just say ‘I like driving over the speed limit’ why debase yourself like this

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

The MAHA agenda isn’t about actual health, it’s about perceived moral purity. They don’t get sick because they’re better than you, and their wellness is a reflection of them living a Morally Correct life. Anything that contradicts that needs to go.
Right wing extremists are trying to block access to PrEP, which all but eliminates HIV risk.
It’s part of their Make America Sick Again agenda.
PrEP can end HIV infections globally. These zealots don’t want that. They want to go back to the 1950s. They want people to get HIV as punishment for sin.
