Reminder for people who might forget: Ryan is one of the journalists who used a white supremacist as a source for that Mamdani college application story, without revealing that the source was a white supremacist, which is fucking relevant to the privacy breach in the story!!
Benjamin Ryan openly admits that his reporting on trans issues is animated by personal bias against someone who was mean to him online. Ben is not capable of reporting on this issue objectively, and yet the New York Times and other outlets repeatedly let him do just that.

The Luddite hate is a 200 year smear campaign against working class solidarity.
the big lie we were raised with is that luddites hated all technology when they really just hated technology that was designed to put some of us out of work and make the rest work harder while the ruling class got to make extra profit off our backs

In the early days I believed more research would help. The theory being pushed was that kids were falsely identifying as trans, so if the wave of increased detransition and regret never materialized people would accept the evidence that the theory was incorrect.
They trumped up a campaign based around a fear of later treatment regret and "detransition" while it's clear from their research and reports that they are deeply bothered by not enough patients regretting and detransitioning.
It's wholly dishonest and corrupt.

the number one impediment to emergency vehicles are the two rows of parked cars on nearly every street in the city
In response to a caller complaining about outdoor dining allegedly causing traffic, Menin says she wants to ensure the sheds don't do that or obstruct emergency vehicles.
Unclear if there's any proof they block either, since the structures take up what is usually free street parking.

A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.
If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can:

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

The US Ambassador to Israel and close friend of Joe Biden, Jack Lew, personally blocked the distribution of a cable written by USAID which accurately described the situation in northern Gaza
Another banger from Jonathan Guyer, who's been on the USAID-Gaza beat for a few years.
If anyone wonders why I really, really hate Joe Biden and his administration? It's because I had to work for them on Gaza. They're evil, evil people who deserve prison.
